Clearing a Lifetime of Belongings
Estate cleanouts often involve decades’ worth of personal items, furniture, keepsakes, and household goods. Our team approaches each job with care—sorting what can be saved, donated, or discarded. Whether it’s a home packed wall to wall or just a few rooms that need attention, we make sure every item is handled respectfully and every space is fully cleared.
From Cluttered to Cleared
Many estate properties are filled with large furniture, outdated appliances, and storage areas that haven’t been touched in years. We handle all the heavy lifting, from tight attics and basements to garages and sheds. Once the space is emptied, we leave it clean, swept, and ready for its next chapter—whether that’s listing it, remodeling, or preparing it for new tenants.

Estate situations can be emotional and overwhelming. That’s why our team shows up with a calm, can-do attitude and a commitment to privacy and professionalism. We keep the process organized, efficient, and low-stress—from the first walk-through to the final load hauled away. No drama, no mess—just dependable service you can trust.

How Much Does an Estate Cleanout Cost?
We price our estate cleanout services based on the volume of items to be removed, the time and labor required, and any special handling involved. Every property is different, so we offer clear, upfront quotes with no pressure and no hidden fees. Our pricing always includes labor, transportation, and responsible disposal of all items.
Several factors can affect the cost of your estate cleanout, including:
- Size of the property and amount of contents A small apartment may require less time and hauling than a large home filled with decades of belongings.
- Ease of access to the home or property Stairs, narrow hallways, or limited driveway space can add to labor time and complexity.
- Sorting and item separation if you'd like us to help identify valuables, set aside family keepsakes, or coordinate donations, we’re happy to do that—but it may require more crew time.
- Removal of heavy or bulky items Items like safes, pianos, large furniture, and appliances can affect overall pricing.
- Additional spaces Garages, sheds, attics, and outdoor areas can add volume and labor to the job.
We’re happy to walk through the property with you, offer guidance, and provide a free quote. Whether you’re clearing out a few rooms or an entire estate, we’ll build a plan—and a price—that fits your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Cleanouts
What is an estate cleanout?
An estate cleanout involves clearing out a home or property after a major life transition—typically due to death, downsizing, relocation, or foreclosure. It often includes removing furniture, appliances, personal belongings, trash, and anything else that needs to go.
How long does an estate cleanout take?
The timeline depends on the size of the home and the volume of contents. Most jobs take one to three days, though larger or more complex cleanouts may take longer.
What items can you remove during a cleanout?
We can remove just about anything—furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, clothing, storage items, boxes, yard debris, and more. If it needs to go, we can take it.
Do you offer sorting and organizing help?
Yes. We can assist with sorting items into categories: keep, donate, recycle, and dispose. If you’re not sure what to keep, we can set aside anything of potential value for you to review.
What happens to the items after removal?
We donate usable items to local charities when possible, recycle what we can, and dispose of the rest responsibly. Nothing goes to waste if it can be reused.
Can you handle heavy items or hard-to-reach areas?
Absolutely. We have the tools and experience to remove bulky items like safes, pianos, and furniture from attics, basements, or tight spaces.
What if I’m not local to the estate?
No problem. We can coordinate cleanouts remotely via phone or video. Many of our clients are family members or executors managing the property from out of town.
How much does an estate cleanout cost?
Pricing depends on the amount of labor, size of the property, and volume of items. We offer free, no-obligation quotes based on an in-person or virtual walkthrough.
Are cleanouts done all at once or in stages?
That’s up to you. We can do the entire cleanout in one go or break it into phases depending on your comfort level and timeline.
Do you provide documentation for probate or insurance purposes?
Yes, we can provide itemized receipts, donation records, and before/after photos upon request.
Do I need to be present during the cleanout?
You’re welcome to be there, but it’s not required. Some clients choose to oversee the process, while others prefer we handle everything and update them remotely.
Can you clean garages, sheds, and outdoor areas too?
Yes. We clean out all areas of the property, including detached buildings, storage units, yards, and garages.
Do you offer deep cleaning or just removal?
We provide light sweeping and debris clearing as part of the cleanout.
How soon can you start?
We often offer same-day or next-day appointments, depending on availability. Larger projects may be scheduled out, but we’ll work with your deadlines.
What if the home is in disrepair or unsanitary?
We’re used to working in all conditions—from clean homes to more extreme situations involving mold, odor, pests, or debris. Just let us know what we’re walking into, and we’ll come prepared.
