Furniture Removal in Lakeland, FL

Estate furniture out of Lakeland's historic districts

The homes ringing Lake Morton and the brick streets of Dixieland went up in the early 1900s, and a lot of them have held one family for generations. When one changes hands, the furniture is the heavy part: a mahogany bedroom suite upstairs, a piano in the parlor, wicker on the sleeping porch, a garage doing the work of a basement. Rob's crew does those in a morning, sorts what can still be used for donation, and hauls the rest. It often takes two trailer loads.

The Munn Park district downtown and the streets off Lake Mirror have the same stock, and the drives are narrow. A dump trailer behind a pickup fits where a roll-off truck can't turn, which is why Rob quotes those addresses by the trailer, flat, before the crew arrives.

How much to get rid of a couch in Lakeland?

From $125 for one couch, sectional or sleeper, all-inclusive, from any floor. Two colleges keep that number busy: end of semester at Florida Southern and Southeastern leaves futons, sagging couches and particleboard desks by the dumpster, and landlords call for the pieces the dumpster won't take. A unit's worth is a quarter trailer at $225. A whole rental house between tenants runs half to full, $350 to $700.

South Lakeland and the subdivisions north of I-4 near the Publix campus are the other call: the set that didn't fit the new floor plan, the treadmill and the sofa in the garage. Those go on the same truck as the college pickups.

Booking a Lakeland furniture pickup

Lakeland is a scheduled run. Rob drives down I-4, does a big estate in the morning, fits two or three furniture pickups after, then works Auburndale or Bartow on the way home. Call before noon and ask about today; if a truck is already west, he'll say yes. Otherwise it's tomorrow, with a firm window.
