Dale's take on Lombard

I've pulled a lot of boats out of Lombard backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and didn't want the headache. Others sat for a season or two while the owner tried to sell, then gave up. One guy had a storage lot bill that climbed higher than the boat was worth. Another had a dead motor and a repair quote that made no sense. The HOA finally sent a letter. That's usually when we get the call.

We handle the full job for Lombard and the surrounding area. Load it, tow it, handle the title work, start to finish. Jobs in Villa Park often stack with a Lombard call the same afternoon. Whether it's an old boat rotting in the backyard or an estate cleanout that includes a vessel someone else left behind, we manage it. Missing paperwork does not stop the job. Details on the Illinois page.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in Lombard

We handle any vessel in Lombard, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked at a storage lot, or taking up a slip at a marina. Jobs start around $250. The crew shows up with a flatbed, a winch, and the equipment to load whatever condition your boat is in. Most Lombard removals are straightforward, but we've also pulled boats off blocks, out of backyards, and from properties where the trailer hasn't moved in years. Once we load it, the boat goes to our yard or the processor, where it's dismantled for salvage or recycled responsibly. We don't leave a mess on your property. The same route runs through Oakbrook Terrace and Addison, so if you're in any of those towns, the logistics are the same. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Call us with the address and a quick description, and the process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat removal in Lombard works

  1. 1

    Send photos and the pickup ZIP

    Boat length, condition, location in Lombard, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

  2. 2

    Get a fixed quote the same day

    Flat fee covering pickup, transport, and disposal at a licensed facility. No per-hour charges, no fuel surcharges added later.

  3. 3

    Schedule the removal in Lombard

    We coordinate with the marina or property owner. The pickup window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    Crew handles the haul and dismantle

    Loading, lashing, transport, and offload at the processor. Permits pulled if the load is oversize. Hull cut down on site when the trailer will not fit the load.

  5. 5

    Destruction documentation

    You receive proof of disposal, title-release paperwork, and the hull ID record. Useful for insurance close-out.

    Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

The starting price at the top of this page is real. Size, where the boat sits, condition, and distance move it up from there. The full breakdown lives on the Illinois pricing section.

Common questions about Lombard boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Lombard?
There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting one sight unseen is guessing. What your Lombard removal costs depends on the boat, where it sits, and the haul. The number we give you is the one we charge.
Is boat removal ever free in Lombard?
Sometimes. A running outboard or decent aluminum can carry the cost, and we take the boat for nothing. No value means a fee. We tell you which one you have before anything is scheduled.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Lombard?
Yes. Illinois DNR, not the Secretary of State, handles boating. And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Lombard. What we need from you is on the Illinois page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Lombard?
Fast. A typical Lombard pickup lands within a few days of the quote, with the window confirmed the day before. The crew calls an hour out so nobody waits around.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Plenty of Lombard owners are at work or out of state. You get photos of the boat loaded before final payment, and the paperwork is handled remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes. The trailer usually goes with the boat, and its condition does not matter. If it rolls, we tow it. If it does not, it rides on the truck.
What kinds of boats do you take in Lombard?
If it is a boat, yes. Fiberglass or aluminum, power or sail, running or long dead. The rough ones are most of what we do, so nothing about yours will surprise the crew.
