That hot tub in your backyard hasn’t been fired up in years. Maybe the jets stopped working. Maybe the maintenance got old. Or maybe you’re renovating and that built-in spa is standing between you and the outdoor kitchen you actually want. Whatever the reason, getting rid of a hot tub in Manhattan Beach isn’t something you tackle with a pickup truck and good intentions—these things weigh 500 to 1,000 pounds empty, and most need to be cut apart to get through side yards and narrow coastal property gates.
K9 Junk Removal handles hot tub removal in Manhattan Beach from The Strand to Sand Section, El Porto to downtown. We’re a family-owned operation that does the whole job—drain, disconnect utilities, cut it up if needed, haul it away, and leave your yard cleaner than we found it. You don’t coordinate multiple people. You call us once, and we handle it all.
Why homeowners and contractors in Manhattan Beach call K9 for hot tub removal
Manhattan Beach properties come with their own complications. Narrow side yards between houses, HOA requirements in complexes near Valley Drive, rooftop decks with spas overlooking the ocean—every job is different, and most hot tubs weren’t installed with removal in mind. A lot of homeowners call plumbers or general haulers who show up and realize they can’t move a 900-pound fiberglass tub through a 36-inch gate. Then they call us.
We’ve pulled hot tubs out of hillside homes in the Tree Section, cut apart built-in concrete spas in Sand Section backyards, and dismantled rooftop units near downtown where crane access wasn’t an option. We come prepared with saws, pry bars, and the experience to know when a tub needs to come out in pieces versus when we can dolly it whole. We’re fully insured—liability and workers comp—so if something goes sideways on your property, you’re covered.
Contractors working on remodels or flips call us because we don’t waste time. You’re juggling subcontractors, permits, and timelines. We show up when we say we will, get the spa out, and don’t leave a mess for your landscaper to deal with afterward. Weekend and after-hours availability if you need us to work around occupied properties.
What’s included in our hot tub removal service
We don’t just haul—we handle the whole breakdown. Here’s what comes with every Manhattan Beach hot tub removal:
- Draining: We pump out remaining water onsite and dispose of it properly
- Utility disconnection: We disconnect power, but if hardwired electrical work is required, we’ll coordinate timing with your electrician
- Demolition and cutting: If the spa won’t fit through your gates or pathways, we cut it into manageable sections with reciprocating saws and grinders
- Removal of surrounds: Rotted decking, old steps, and spa covers—if it’s connected to the tub, we take it
- Haul-away and disposal: Everything gets loaded and taken to the proper disposal facility—we handle the dump fees
- Site cleanup: We sweep up debris, haul away any remaining pieces, and leave your space ready for the next phase
If your hot tub is built into concrete or tile, we can demo the shell and surround. That’s a bigger job, and we’ll walk you through what’s involved before we start cutting.
How the process works
We keep this simple. Most Manhattan Beach hot tub removals happen in one trip, but we’ll tell you upfront if yours is a two-day job.
- You call or message us with details: Where’s the tub? What type (above-ground, built-in, sunken)? How do we access your backyard? Photos help, but aren’t required.
- We give you a realistic quote: We base pricing on size, access, and whether demo is required. No surprise fees when we arrive.
- We schedule your removal: Most jobs happen within the same week. We confirm the day before and give you a arrival window.
- We handle the whole job: Drain, disconnect, cut if needed, load, haul. You don’t lift a finger.
- You get your yard back: We leave the area clean, and the hot tub is gone for good—no lingering debris or half-finished teardown.
Manhattan Beach–specific considerations
Manhattan Beach properties often require a little extra planning. Here’s what we account for:
Side yard and gate access: Homes near The Strand and in the Sand Section typically have narrow side yards with gates that max out at 36 to 48 inches. If your hot tub won’t fit, we cut it into sections small enough to move through tight spaces. We’ve done this dozens of times—it adds time, but it’s part of the job.
HOA rules and condo complexes: If you’re in a complex with shared courtyards or elevators, some HOAs require advance notice or certificates of insurance before we start work. We can provide those documents same-day. We also work around HOA quiet hours if needed.
Rooftop and elevated decks: Several Manhattan Beach homes have rooftop decks with hot tubs installed during construction. If crane access isn’t an option (or isn’t worth the cost), we dismantle the spa onsite and carry it down in pieces. It’s labor-intensive, but it gets the job done without damaging your stairs or railings.
Disposal and recycling: We dispose of hot tubs at licensed facilities in LA County. Fiberglass, acrylic, wood surrounds, and metal components all go to the right places. We don’t dump illegally, and we don’t cut corners on disposal to save a few bucks.
Why we’re the trusted hot tub removal choice in Manhattan Beach
K9 Junk Removal was started in 2021 by Jean Guizzetti, a Venezuelan immigrant who built this business from zero with a used truck and a willingness to do the jobs others said no to. That scrappy, figure-it-out mentality is still how we operate. We’re not a franchise. We’re not the cheapest crew on Craigslist. We’re the team that shows up prepared, does the job right, and doesn’t leave you coordinating three different people to finish what we started.
We’re fully insured—liability and workers comp—which matters more than most people realize until something breaks or someone gets hurt. We also don’t say no to complicated jobs. Rooftop spa with no crane access? Concrete-encased hot tub that needs jackhammering? Tight hillside property with one narrow staircase? We’ll figure it out.
We’re available weekends and after hours if that works better for your schedule or your contractor’s timeline. And we guide you through the process honestly—even if that means telling you something that costs us business. If you don’t need full demo and a handyman can handle part of it, we’ll tell you. That’s just how we work.
If you’ve got a hot tub taking up space in your Manhattan Beach backyard and you’re ready to reclaim that square footage, we’ll get it done. Call (737) 900-9626 and tell us what you’ve got. We’ll walk you through next steps, give you a straight quote, and schedule your removal—usually same week. Or tell us about your project at k9junkandhauling.com.
