Restaurant Cleanouts in Rexburg & Southeastern Idaho

The restaurant business is tough. Margins are thin, hours are long, and when a location closes — whether by choice or circumstance — you are left with a space packed full of heavy, greasy, hard-to-move equipment that nobody wants to deal with. Commercial ovens that weigh half a ton, walk-in coolers bolted to the floor, exhaust hoods running the length of the kitchen, booths that are welded to their frames. Getting all of that out of a restaurant is a serious job.

ShapeUpIdaho handles restaurant cleanouts across Rexburg and Southeastern Idaho. We bring the crew, the tools, and the trucks to strip a restaurant down to bare walls — front of house, kitchen, storage, and everything in between. If you are closing a location, switching concepts, or inheriting a space that the last tenant left packed with their old equipment, we get it done fast so you can move on.

What Makes Restaurant Cleanouts Different

A restaurant is not like an office or a retail store. It is a working kitchen environment with commercial-grade equipment that is bolted, welded, ducted, and plumbed into the building. Removing it requires disconnection from gas lines, water lines, and electrical systems. It requires understanding how to safely take apart a hood system without damaging the ceiling. It requires the physical strength and equipment to move a 1,200-pound commercial oven through a narrow kitchen doorway.

This is not a job for someone with a pickup truck and good intentions. Our team has handled restaurant cleanouts from fast-casual spots near the university in Rexburg to full-service dining establishments in Idaho Falls. We know how these spaces are built, and we know how to take them apart safely and efficiently.

What We Remove

We clear out every inch of the restaurant. Here is what that typically includes:

Kitchen Equipment

Commercial ranges, flat-top grills, deep fryers, convection ovens, pizza ovens, walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, ice machines, commercial dishwashers, three-compartment sinks, prep tables, and speed racks. If it cooks, cools, or cleans, we remove it.

Front of House

Booths, tables, chairs, bar counters, bar stools, host stands, server stations, beverage stations, and everything else that fills a dining room. Whether it is a 20-seat cafe or a 200-seat restaurant, we handle the volume.

Infrastructure and Fixtures

Exhaust hoods, ductwork, grease traps, light fixtures, ceiling fans, decorative elements, signage, menu boards, sound systems, and POS hardware. We strip it all if that is what the job calls for.

Storage and Back of House

Dry storage shelving, walk-in shelving, cleaning supplies, dishware, flatware, glassware, smallwares, linens, and the pile of random stuff that every restaurant accumulates in its back corners over the years.

How Our Restaurant Cleanout Process Works

Restaurant cleanouts need to be carefully planned because of the heavy equipment and utility disconnections involved. Here is how we approach every project:

Consultation — You call us at (662) 666-6494 or submit a request online. We schedule a site visit, usually within 48 hours, to walk the space with you.

Assessment and Quote — During the walk-through, we document everything that needs to be removed, note any utility disconnections required, and assess access points (loading docks, rear doors, parking lot space for trucks). We give you an all-inclusive price before leaving.

Scheduled Removal — We coordinate the removal date around your schedule and any utility disconnection timelines. On removal day, our crew arrives ready to work. We start with the heaviest items and work systematically through the space.

Final Cleanup — When the last item is loaded, we sweep and clean the space. You are left with an empty shell ready for the next tenant, your renovation, or lease turnover.

Working With Restaurant Equipment Dealers

Not all restaurant equipment is junk. Commercial ovens, refrigeration units, and stainless steel prep tables hold real value on the secondhand market. When we encounter equipment that still has life left in it, we work with restaurant equipment resellers in the region to give those items a second home.

This approach benefits everyone. The equipment stays out of the landfill, another restaurant gets quality gear at a lower price, and sometimes the resale value helps offset your cleanout cost. It is not always possible — heavily used or damaged equipment may not qualify — but we always look for the opportunity.

Related Services for Restaurant Projects

Restaurant work often goes beyond just removing contents. If you are gutting the space for a full rebuild, our interior demolition team can tear out walls, flooring, and built-in structures. If the renovation generates piles of debris, our construction debris removal service handles the haul-away.

For property owners who need the space cleared after a tenant walks away, our commercial junk removal and eviction cleanouts services cover that scenario completely. And if the building has an old deck or patio structure that needs to come down, our deck demolition team handles outdoor structures too.
