About Dish B'Gone
Thousands of satellite dishes sit abandoned on rooftops across Coastal LA & Orange County — left behind by previous owners, creating eyesores, risking roof damage, and triggering HOA violations. We started Dish B'Gone to solve that problem with fast, affordable, professional removal and eco-friendly recycling.
Our Story
Dish B'Gone was born out of a frustrating personal experience: an old DirecTV dish bolted to the roof, impossible to ignore, and surprisingly hard to get removed. General contractors wanted hundreds of dollars for a 30-minute job. Junk removal companies wouldn't touch anything on the roof. Handymen came and went without patching the holes properly.
We realized homeowners, landlords, and property managers across Southern California face the same headache every day. So we built a service focused on doing one thing and doing it right: removing satellite dishes safely, sealing the roof, and recycling everything responsibly.
Today, Dish B'Gone is a division of IntelektAI LLC, a technology company headquartered in Southern California. We combine tech-forward operations — online booking, real-time scheduling, before/after photo documentation — with hands-on craftsmanship.
Founder & Operator
Bradly Hendrixson
Bradly is the founder of EarthOptix, a climate intelligence platform that fuses live data from GOES-R satellites, NEXRAD radar, and NASA disaster tracking into a single AI-powered interface for enterprise and government users. He works with orbital satellite data every day.
On a walk one afternoon he looked up and started counting dishes on rooftops. That sent him to the data: fewer than 15% of mounted satellite dishes in the U.S. are still receiving an active signal. The rest are abandoned — left behind when DirecTV and DISH customers cut the cord, because the providers don't remove them. Then he discovered why they just sit: licensed contractors (roofing, general) often can't legally touch them, and most junk haulers won't go on a roof. The market had a clear gap.
The economics made sense fast. Under California's handyman exemption, small jobs under a set dollar threshold don't require a contractor's license. The dishes can be broken down on-site — metal to scrap yards, electronics to certified e-waste recyclers — at essentially no materials cost. Disposal is free. The only real input is time and gas. The irony of an orbital data engineer hauling consumer antennas off rooftops wasn't lost on him. He launched Dish B'Gone anyway.
