Bed frame removal across the Golden Isles.

Bed frames are usually the easy part of a bedroom cleanout. The hard parts are the mattress (which we handle separately via the mattress disposal route) and the headboard (which is sometimes heavier than the frame itself). Most bed frame jobs ship as part of a bedroom-set pickup — frame plus mattress plus dresser plus nightstands — rather than as a frame-only call. The combined jobs run efficiently; the disassembly is the small step that makes the rest of the work fit through the door.

The most common call is the mattress replacement scenario where the frame goes too. New mattress arrives Wednesday, the old frame and mattress need to leave Thursday because the new one doesn’t fit the old frame’s rails or doesn’t suit the new headboard the customer is buying. Estate cleanouts produce bed frames in volume — often three or four at once across multiple bedrooms in a long-time family home. Failed frame calls — broken slats, cracked headboards, damaged side rails from years of use — are routine.

Operationally, bed frames split into four operational tiers. Metal frames are the lightest — 20 to 40 pounds, often fold flat for transport, single-person carry. Wood frames are heavier (40 to 100 pounds assembled) and usually need disassembly: rails unbolt from the headboard and footboard, slats stack separately, the headboard separates as its own piece. Platform beds vary by manufacturer: some come apart cleanly, some are one solid welded or glued unit. Storage beds — the platform-bed builds with drawers underneath — push 600+ pounds when fully assembled and almost always need full disassembly because the drawers, the platform, and the side rails can’t fit through doorways together.

We disassemble on site so the pieces fit through the doorway and down the stairs. Customers don’t need to figure out which bolts hold which rails. The frame comes apart in about ten minutes for standard wood builds; storage beds take longer because of the drawer count. Headboards heavier than the frame itself are common — solid-wood storage headboards with bookshelves built in can run 80 to 120 pounds on their own. Two-person carry standard, three-person on the heaviest pieces.
