- Above-ground, portable, and swim spas
- On-site draining and cut-down
- Cabinetry, covers, and lifters
- The hands the job needs, and the carry-out
- Sheds, decks, and playsets as a combined scope
- How pricing works
- Based on the actual job — tub size, install, and access — not a flat rate. We quote after photos or an on-site look, and anything special, like a hard-wired tub, gets sorted out then.
Hot tub removal is the largest single-item job we run, and it’s one we’re set up for. A standard above-ground hot tub weighs four-hundred to seven-hundred pounds dry, six-hundred to nine-hundred pounds with the cabinetry, and the only way out of most installations is through a doorway or a gate the tub will not fit through in one piece. So almost every hot tub gets cut down on site. We bring saws, pry bars, dollies, straps, and the hands the job needs.
The work runs multi-hour. Some hot tub jobs run multi-day when the install includes a deck around the tub, an in-ground or partially-sunken installation, or a concrete pad under the tub. Same category, same crew, same approach handles sheds, playsets, swing sets, gazebos, and free-standing decks. The unifying thread is that the structure has to come apart before any of it goes on the truck.
What customers call us back for is that we run this work start to finish. We took the time to learn it, we have the right tools, and we treat the job seriously. The tub leaves; the deck stays intact unless it’s part of the scope; the yard looks the same when we’re done as it did when we showed up — minus the structure.
Sea Island, St. Simons, Jekyll Island — coastal Georgia is hot tub country. Salt air and humid summers shorten the lifespan of every spa cabinet on the coast, and removal calls run year-round. We know the install patterns and the access challenges before we drive up.
Who calls us
Who we run this work for.
Homeowners replacing or removing hot tubs after the unit stops working or the family stops using it. The tub sat unused for two summers, the cover got damaged in the last storm, the cost to repair the heater isn’t worth the value of the spa. The decision to remove is made; the work to get it gone hasn’t started.
New homebuyers who inherited a hot tub they don’t want. The previous owner left it on the deed. The buyer never asked for it. Removal is part of the post-close punch list before the family moves furniture in.
Short-term-rental property owners removing liability-prone hot tubs from rental homes. Insurance coverage on STR hot tubs has tightened. Some owners are pulling tubs proactively rather than carrying the policy premium for a feature renters use less than expected.
Light-demolition customers — sheds rotting in the back yard, playsets the kids outgrew a decade ago, decks built on the cheap that need to come down before the new addition goes in. Same crew, same approach.
How we do it
Getting a Hot Tub Through a Narrow Brunswick Gate
On-site walkthrough is required for hot tub work — we don’t quote tubs blind. The variables matter too much. We look at the tub, the cabinetry, the install (above ground, partially sunken, surrounded by deck), the access path, and the disconnect setup. Photos work for the initial conversation; the real number comes after we see the install.
The job starts with draining, which we do on site when a hose run is available. If the tub is still wired in, we’ll help figure out what’s needed and work around it. After that, the cover comes off and the cabinetry comes off panel by panel. Some hot tubs have a frame that supports the shell from the outside — that comes apart with sockets and a pry bar. The shell — acrylic over fiberglass over insulating foam — gets cut into manageable sections with the right blade. Sections come out the same opening they have to fit through, in pieces.
In-ground or partially-sunken hot tubs are a different conversation. The tub itself comes out the same way — drained, cut, hauled. The concrete pad, hardscape or stone work around it is something we can look at too: send us a few photos and tell us where it is, and we’ll tell you what it takes.
Crew is set by the tub and the path out. The extra set of hands matters when the cabinetry is heavy, the carry is long, or the sections have to come through a gate rather than an open yard. For sheds, playsets, and decks, the same approach applies — disassemble in place, load the pieces, leave the area swept.
If the spa sits on a deck behind a house in Country Club Estates or in a fenced back yard in the Brunswick Country Club area, the gate is likely narrower than the tub, so it gets cut into sections and carried out through the same opening. The cabinet comes off panel by panel, the shell is cut with the right blade, and the deck stays as it is unless it’s part of the plan. Send photos of the tub, the deck or pad around it, and the path to the street. From those we give you one firm number before anything is loaded, wherever the tub sits in Brunswick.

When licensed electrical or plumbing work is needed, that’s normally handled by you or a licensed pro. Show us what you have and where it is, and we’ll help figure out what’s needed and work around it. Anything load-bearing or structural is a licensed contractor’s job, and we’ll tell you plainly if yours crosses that line.
Pricing
How pricing works on these jobs.
What decides the price on a hot tub. Hot tubs are quoted separately rather than by tier, because size, installation and access decide the work. A tub on an open pad with a clear path out is the light version; one surrounded by decking, sunk into a surround, or carried up from a back yard through a gate too narrow for it is not. Send photos of the tub, the deck or pad around it, and the path out, and we'll give you one firm number before anything is loaded. Multi-day jobs are priced as multi-day jobs rather than as inflated single-day work.
Hot tubs on the islands: access is the whole job
Most of our hot-tub work is on the islands, and out here access decides the job.
On St. Simons, the truck that fits East Beach on a March morning isn't the one that fits it on a July Saturday, and Village and Frederica jobs get planned twice — once on the phone, once when we arrive. Jekyll has no quick dump: everything comes back off the island, across the bridge to Brunswick and on to the right destination for the load, so Jekyll hot-tub work is scheduled and priced for that round trip rather than rushed. Sea Island is private, so we coordinate access with the homeowner, property manager or caretaker before we head over — then it’s the same careful job as anywhere, with no damage to the drive, the gate or the landscaping.
