Furniture Removal NYC - From $125 Same-Day
Sofa, bed, dresser, dining set - gone today. Walk-up included. Donation-first. Same-day pickup across all 5 boroughs + Nassau County.
NYC's Same-Day Furniture Removal Crew
If you've ever tried to get rid of furniture in NYC, you know it's harder than it should be. Sanitation won't take certain pieces. The donation centers have weird pickup schedules. Your building requires a Certificate of Insurance for any service work. And there's the universal problem of how to actually get a sofa down a brownstone staircase without scratching anything.
We do this every day. Sofa removal in Park Slope walk-ups, dining set pickups from Upper East Side co-ops, full-apartment furniture clearouts in Williamsburg lofts, antique pieces from Garden City estates - all with the same crew, same fixed pricing, same donation-first commitment.
Most furniture we remove still has life in it. We partner with Housing Works, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, St. Vincent de Paul, and local NYC charities to give pieces a second home before resorting to landfill. Tax-deductible receipts emailed same day. About 60-70% of our furniture pickups end up donated, not disposed.
We're licensed for every NYC borough and Nassau County. Building managers know our COIs - we've sent thousands. We have $2M general liability, OSHA-30 supervisors, and walk-up experience in every NYC building type from brownstones to white-glove Manhattan high-rises.
When You Might Need Furniture Removal
Four scenarios make up most of our NYC furniture removal jobs. Whatever you need, the process is the same: one call, fixed price, same-day.
Couch That Won't Fit Down the Stairs
The old sofa came in through the window 10 years ago. Now it's stuck. We disassemble in-place when needed, protect walls and banisters, and haul the pieces out without damage. Walk-up included, no stair fee.
Bedroom Set Replacement
New mattress arrives Tuesday. The old queen, box-spring, headboard, and dresser need to be gone before then. We coordinate with your delivery window - pickup before, after, or same day as your new furniture arrives.
Dining Set in Good Condition
You're upsizing or downsizing and the dining table + 6 chairs are still in great shape. We donate first - Housing Works, Habitat ReStore, St. Vincent de Paul - and email you a tax-deductible receipt the same day.
Full-Apartment Furniture Clearout
Moving cross-country and the new place is furnished, or you're staging the apartment for sale. We clear every piece in one visit - sofa, bed, table, chairs, dressers, bookshelves, the lot. Most one-bedroom clearouts run 90 minutes.

What NYC Customers Say
6 recent furniture pickups across the boroughs.
"The crew showed up exactly on time and got my 1970s sleeper sofa down 3 flights of brownstone stairs without scratching a single banister. They even photographed the staircase before to document any pre-existing damage. Fixed price, exactly what we agreed. Will use again."
Sarah K.
Park Slope, Brooklyn
Sofa removal - 3rd floor walk-up
"Our co-op required a Certificate of Insurance with specific endorsements. The team had it emailed to our managing agent within an hour, perfectly formatted. The actual cleanout - sofa, two armchairs, coffee table, three lamps, art - took 90 minutes. Donation receipts arrived same day."
Marcus D.
Upper East Side, Manhattan
Full living room clearout - COI required
"Our new mattress was being delivered Tuesday and I called Junk & Demo Team on Monday morning. They were at our 4th floor walk-up by 2pm. King bed, box spring, headboard, two nightstands, and a dresser - gone in 75 minutes. The new mattress arrived Tuesday to a clean bedroom. Saved my week."
Aisha R.
Astoria, Queens
Bedroom set replacement - same day
"Massive 6-piece sectional that we bought 5 years ago and now wanted gone. They disassembled it in place - saved us from having to figure out how it came apart originally. And the good condition pieces went to Housing Works with a tax receipt emailed to me same day. Great experience."
Tom L.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Sectional disassembly + donation
"After my father passed, we needed to clear out his 3-bedroom house in Garden City. The team came out three times over two weeks - first for the keep pass (we marked items to save), then donate pass (over 40% went to local charities), then haul pass for everything else. Compassionate, organized, never rushed us."
Linda P.
Garden City, Long Island
Full-house estate furniture clearance
"I had a 1920s mahogany armoire that I no longer had space for but wanted handled carefully because the wood is original. The crew wrapped it in blankets, documented condition with photos, and delivered it to a vintage dealer in Brooklyn rather than disposal. Beyond what I expected from a junk removal company."
David M.
Harlem, Manhattan
Antique armoire careful removal
