Do You Haul Away the Old Windows and Doors?
The new door is in and the old one is leaning on the garage. Not with us: it goes on the trailer with the trim, the storm door and the cardboard.

Do you haul away the old windows and doors? Yes. On every job, one door or a houseful of windows, the old units, frames, trim, storm doors and the packaging from the new ones go on our trailer the same day, and haul-away is written on the quote. Tell us before the day if you want to keep anything. JMB Builders, Twin Cities metro. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Old units, trim and packaging gone the same day
- Haul-away written on the quote
- Keep anything you want; say so before install day
Haul-away is part of the job, not an add-on. When a door or window comes out, it goes straight to the trailer along with the old frame, the old trim, the old storm door if one is coming off, the screens you are not keeping, and the pallet, cardboard and plastic the new unit came in. At the end of the day the yard and the garage look the way they did in the morning, minus the old door. It is a line on the quote so you can see it is included.
What we do with it: aluminum storm doors, storm windows and old aluminum frames go to metal recycling. Wood, vinyl and glass go to a construction waste site. A sound old door, a wood window or a set of hardware that someone could use is set aside when you ask; a few owners keep an old front door for a shed or a barn door, or save the original hardware. Say so before the day and it stays.
If you took the old door out yourself, or there is a pile of old windows in the garage from a previous job, we can take those too, as a line on the quote. If you would rather put the old units in your own dumpster to save the trailer trip, that is fine; it is not where the cost of the job is.

How it is priced: per door
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- Haul-away of the units we replace is included in the per-door or per-window price
- Extra old doors or windows already in the garage from another job, taken as their own line
- A door or window you removed yourself, taken with the job
- Number of units, which sets whether the trailer makes one trip or two
- A dumpster you already have on site, which we are glad to use
Count anything extra in the garage you want gone and tell us with the photos. It goes on the quote as its own line so there is no surprise.
How long it takes
Haul-away happens the same day as the install. Nothing is left in the yard or the garage overnight unless you asked to keep it.

Do You Haul Away the Old Windows and Doors?: questions, answered
Is haul-away included for one door?
Yes. One door or one window gets the same haul-away as a whole house: the old unit, its frame and trim and the packaging from the new one leave on the trailer the day of the install. It is listed on the quote so you can see it.
What do you do with the old door?
A steel or fiberglass door goes to a construction waste site; a wood door that is still sound is set aside if you want it or someone you know does. Aluminum storm doors go to metal recycling. We do not resell old doors, and we do not leave them at the curb.
Can I keep my old door or window?
Yes. Tell us before install day and it is set aside in the garage instead of going on the trailer. Owners keep old front doors for sheds and barn-door projects, old wood windows for decorating, and original hardware. Once it is on the trailer it is gone, so say so first.
Do you take the old storm door too?
Yes. If a storm door is coming off and not going back on the new door, it goes on the trailer with everything else. Aluminum storm doors are recycled. If you want it kept to reinstall on another door, we set it aside.
Can you haul away a door I removed myself?
Yes, as a line on the quote. If the old door is already out and leaning in the garage, or there are a few old windows from a previous project, tell us how many and we take them with the job's debris.
Do you take the packaging from the new door?
Yes. The pallet, cardboard, plastic wrap, corner protectors and any foam from the new unit go on the trailer. The only thing left behind is the paperwork and the keys, which go to you at the walkthrough.
