WOOD STOVE REMOVAL IN PUEBLO: OUT BEFORE HEATING SEASON
If you've got a wood stove sitting cold in the corner of the living room and a gas furnace doing all the actual work, now is the time to deal with it. Late summer is the easy window. Come November, everybody's calling about heat and nobody wants a crew tracking through the house.
Why It's Heavier Than It Looks
A mid-size cast iron stove runs 300 to 450 pounds. A big soapstone or an old Fisher can hit 600. That weight sits on four small feet, which is exactly what makes it hard — all the load is concentrated, and hardwood, laminate, and tile all lose that fight. Most of the damage we see on stove jobs was done by somebody's brother-in-law and a furniture dolly.
We break the stove down where we can, plate the floor, and walk it out on protection. If it's coming off a raised deck or out a walkout basement, the skid steer with forks does the last leg. That's a good chunk of why skid steer Pueblo jobs go in one visit instead of turning into a weekend.
What Goes With It
The stove is rarely the whole job. Usually there's:
- Stove pipe and double-wall chimney sections
- The thimble and wall shield
- A hearth pad — brick, tile over cement board, or a full masonry base
- Ash, creosote, and whatever's been stacked behind it since 2014
Creosote is nasty stuff and it goes everywhere if you're careless. We've got 12+ years of hazardous-material handling behind us, so it gets bagged and contained instead of tracked across your carpet. Masonry hearths get broken out and hauled with the rest.
What It Costs
Most straight stove-and-pipe pulls in Pueblo land in the $175–$400 range. Add a masonry hearth or a tight basement stair and it climbs from there. We quote the job before we touch it, in writing if you want it, and the number doesn't move unless you add to the pile.
While We're There
Nine times out of ten there's more. Folks add a garage cleanout Pueblo homeowners have been putting off, a pile of yard debris Pueblo wind knocked down, or the hot tub that quit two summers back — hot tub removal Pueblo is one of our regular jobs and the trailer's already hooked up. Same trip, one price.
