Dale's take on Park Ridge

Park Ridge sits on the edge of some solid boating water, and I've picked up plenty of boats that started as a good idea and turned into a storage problem. I pulled a 24-foot cabin cruiser out of a backyard last spring where the owner inherited it with the estate, hadn't run in eight years, and the HOA was done looking at it. Another call came from a slip holder who'd listed the boat for a full season with no bites and finally decided the storage fees weren't worth waiting anymore.

We handle the full job for an old boat in Park Ridge, start to finish. The crew loads it, tows it out, and handles all the paperwork so you don't have to. We run jobs in Maine often enough to stack a pickup there the same afternoon if the timing works. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Illinois page.

    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.

Common questions about Park Ridge boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Park Ridge?
There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting one sight unseen is guessing. What your Park Ridge 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 Park Ridge?
It happens, when the boat pays its own way. Scrap aluminum or a motor that runs can cover the trip. If yours does not have that, there is a fee, and you hear it before we book.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Park Ridge?
Illinois DNR, not the Secretary of State, handles boating. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Park Ridge pickup. The legal section on the Illinois page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Park Ridge?
Fast. A typical Park Ridge 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?
Not if you cannot be. We photograph the boat loaded and send it over before final payment. Paperwork happens by phone and email, wherever you are.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes, and most people want it gone with the boat. Flat tires, rusted frame, seized hubs, none of it matters, we winch the boat and load the trailer separately if it will not roll.
What kinds of boats do you take in Park Ridge?
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.
