It is easy to underestimate what it takes to move a hot tub. A standard hot tub can weigh anywhere from 500 to over 1,000 pounds when empty, spans several feet in every direction, and usually has to come out through a side gate, around landscaping and across gravel or pavers before it ever reaches a truck.
One of the most common questions people ask before a move is how to move a hot tub yourself. The honest answer is that a few friends and a furniture dolly are not enough. Common results of a DIY attempt include:
Jones Moving & Storage brings the crew, the equipment and the plan, so your hot tub, your property and the people around it come through the move in one piece.
Every hot tub job is different. Here is what our team handles for homeowners and businesses across the Phoenix Valley.
Moving your hot tub to a new address within the Phoenix metro area? Our local hot tub moving crew takes it out of the old yard, transports it secured and padded, and sets it in place at the new home.
Relocating beyond Arizona and taking your hot tub with you? A tub that crosses state lines needs extra planning, securing and protection for the longer trip. We can add it to your household shipment through our long-distance moving services, so one crew plans both.
Sometimes a hot tub only needs to move a few yards: to a new deck, a new patio, or out of the way of a pool or remodel. Our team handles on-property repositioning with the same equipment used for full relocations.
If your new home or backyard isn’t ready yet, we can hold your tub until the pad, deck or electrical work is finished. Our secure storage facilities provide a safe, covered option, and you can learn more about short-term and long-term storage options.
If your hot tub is one piece of a larger move, there is no need to hire a separate specialty mover. We schedule the tub alongside your residential moving services, so the same company handles the house and the backyard under one quote.
Whether you call it a hot tub, a spa or a Jacuzzi, we move units of every size and configuration, from compact two-person spas to large family tubs. The make, model and dimensions are usually on a label inside the equipment panel: share them when you request your quote.
Need your hot tub removed from your property without moving it to a new home? Our team handles complete hot tub removal, with the same planning and property protection as a full move, so your gate, walls and landscaping stay intact.
Tell us during the quote where the tub is headed. If it still works, we can move it to a new owner’s home or another address you choose, or hold it in storage until you decide. If it no longer runs, mention that too, and we will talk through your options before the job is booked. Removal is priced on the same factors as a move: the size and weight of the tub, the access out of your yard, and where the tub is going.
You might need hot tub removal in Phoenix when:
A hot tub move goes well when nothing is left to chance on the day. This is how a Jones Moving & Storage job runs from first call to final placement.
We talk through the make, model and dimensions of your hot tub, where it sits now, where it is going, and any gates, fencing, steps or landscaping in the way.
We map the route out of the yard, measure gate and walkway widths, and choose the right equipment, crew size and truck for your tub and property.
Our team ensures the unit is fully drained, disconnected from its electrical supply, and prepared in accordance with manufacturer guidelines to protect the plumbing, jets and internal components.
The crew uses heavy-duty dollies, skid boards, moving straps and protective padding to move the tub across your property and onto the truck.
The tub is strapped and braced in the truck so it cannot shift in transit.
At the destination, we unload the tub and set it exactly where you want it on the new pad or deck, protecting the surrounding property as we go.
“How much does it cost to move a hot tub” is one of the most searched questions about this service, and the fair answer is that it depends on your tub and your yard. Your price comes down to:
A two-person spa and an eight-person tub with a heavy cabinet need different crew sizes and equipment.
Narrow side gates, steps, slopes, decks and long walks from the truck all add time.
Moving across the yard, across town, or out of state.
A new home, a spot on the same property, or out of your yard for good.
Holding the tub until your new location is ready.
A tub added to a full household move is planned and quoted together with everything else.
Every quote is free, clear and itemized. You will know what your hot tub job costs before we begin, with no hidden fees. If the scope changes on the day, we tell you about any price change before we proceed.
Hot tub moves rarely happen under ideal conditions, and Phoenix backyards bring their own set of obstacles. Our team assesses access in advance and arrives with the right approach for your property.
Many Valley homes have backyards closed in by block walls with a single side gate. Most standard tubs are turned on edge and rolled through on a skid or dolly, so we measure the gate and the tub before moving day. If the opening looks too tight, we talk through the options with you before the job is booked.
Tubs sitting on raised decks or platforms need extra planning to come down safely. We check the deck access, stair layout and the strength of the surface we will roll across, then choose the technique and equipment to match.
Desert landscaping, river rock, artificial turf and sloped side yards are hard on a heavy tub and easy to damage. We use dollies, boards and protective materials to move across the yard without rutting turf or cracking pavers.
Limited driveway space, low tree branches and narrow streets all affect where the truck can park. If your HOA has rules about moving trucks or work hours, tell us during the quote and we will plan around them.
If your hot tub has to come out of, or go into, a condominium or multi-story property with elevator or stairway access, our team coordinates the building’s access requirements and logistics in advance. Ask your building or HOA about move hours and elevator use, and share their rules with us when you request your quote.
In the summer months, ask about an early start so the heavy outdoor work happens before the afternoon heat. We are available 7 days a week.
Electrical work is the step people forget to plan. Most full-size tubs are hardwired, so they must be safely disconnected from power before the move, and a licensed electrician should handle the reconnection at the new home. A few tips to keep the timeline on track:
Book the electrician for the new home before moving day, so the tub is not sitting dry for weeks.
Make sure the new pad or deck is level and can carry the weight of a filled tub.
In summer, keep the cover on and strapped down. An empty acrylic shell sitting in direct Arizona sun takes a beating.
Refill and restart the tub following your manufacturer’s guidelines.
A hot tub move that ends with a cracked shell, damaged plumbing or torn-up landscaping is not a successful move. Our team lays protective materials on floors, pathways and hardscape surfaces, works carefully around landscaping, fencing and outdoor structures, and handles the shell, jets and components with the care needed to prevent cracking, scratching or structural damage.
From the moment our team arrives to the moment your tub is in its new spot, protecting what you own is the standard we hold ourselves to on every job.
Your hot tub is often one part of a bigger move. Jones Moving & Storage handles the rest of it too.
Other heavy loads, from gun safes and pool tables to appliances and oversized furniture.
Packing and unpacking, full or partial, with quality materials for the rest of your home.
Valley homeowners trust Jones Moving & Storage with their spas because a family-run team quotes clearly and handles heavy work carefully.
Steve and Candice Jones lead Jones Moving & Storage, and their two sons help run it today. Steve started in the moving industry at 16, and the family has called Phoenix home ever since a cross-country job brought them to Arizona.

This is the best moving company we've ever had. Not only we're they reasonably priced, the three men that did our move were so considerate and respectful of our things often going above and beyond to ensure everything was exactly where we wanted it. The egress situation to get our hot tub into the backyard was a major challenge. But they didn't give up! The owners drove over and figured out exactly how to do it and after a lot of effort, it's in our backyard. Give them a call. You won't regret it.

When we have needed a few extra hands to move heavy items (like large mirrors, artwork and cabinets), we called Jones Moving. They did an amazing job moving items with great care and professionalism.
Jennifer A., Google review, November 2022
The guys are hard workers and get the job done as quick as possible. I had them pick up a heavy 8 piece dinning set at one location and then a huge/heavy king bed frame, 2 dressers, 2 night stands and large mirror at another residence, then deliver it to my residence in less than 2.5 hours. Very friendly too! I would recommend Jones to family or friends.

Jones Moving & Storage moves and removes hot tubs throughout the Phoenix metro area from our headquarters on N 19th Ave in north Phoenix.
For a regular household move in the city, see our page for Phoenix movers. Booking ahead helps: reach out about 4 to 6 weeks ahead of a local move, or 6 to 8 weeks ahead of a long-distance one, and we accommodate shorter timelines when we can. We also serve:
The cost depends on the size and weight of your tub, how easy it is to reach at both ends, how far it is going, and whether it needs storage or is part of a full home move. A short local move with open access takes less time than a deck lift or an out-of-state trip. Request a free, itemized quote with no hidden fees.
Hot tub removal is priced on the tub size, the access out of your yard, and where the tub is going after it leaves. We give you a clear, itemized quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees, and if the scope changes on the day, we tell you about any price change before we proceed.
That depends on what you want. If the tub still works, we can move it to a new owner’s home or another address you choose, or hold it in storage until you decide. If it no longer runs, tell us during the quote and we will talk through your options. Before removal day, take out any personal items, steps or accessories you want to keep.
Yes. Most standard hot tubs are turned on edge and rolled on a skid board or dolly, because that is the only way they fit through a typical side gate. Our crew decides during the assessment whether your tub travels on its side or flat, based on its size, cabinet and the path out of your yard.
Yes. Raised decks, steps and block-walled yards are common in Phoenix-area backyards, and we plan for them. We assess the deck, the stairs and the gate width before moving day and choose the equipment and crew to match. If the path out looks too tight, we talk through the options with you before the job is booked.
Yes. A hot tub must be fully drained and disconnected from power before it can be moved safely, and our team makes sure both are done before the tub moves. If you are draining the tub yourself, start the day before, since a full tub can take several hours to empty with a hose or pump. Leave the cover with the tub so it travels together.
Most full-size tubs are hardwired, so a licensed electrician should handle the reconnection at your new home. We place the tub on the pad or deck where you want it. Book the electrician before moving day so the tub is not left dry for long, and refill and restart it following your manufacturer’s guidelines.

Yes. You can add the hot tub to your full home move, so one crew handles the house and the backyard under one quote. You do not need to hire a separate specialty mover. Mention the tub when you request your quote so we bring the right equipment and crew on moving day.
