Frequently Asked Questions

Our pricing varies based on several factors including the volume of items, accessibility of the location, disposal requirements, and labor time needed. Most residential cleanouts range from $200 for small jobs (like a single room) to $4,000+ for full estate cleanouts. We provide free on-site estimates so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden fees or surprises.

Yes, absolutely! We provide completely free, no-obligation on-site estimates. We'll visit your property, assess the scope of work, and provide you with a detailed, written quote. There's no charge for this service and no pressure to proceed. We believe in earning your business through honest, transparent pricing.

Several factors influence pricing: Volume - how much stuff needs to be removed; Accessibility - stairs, narrow doorways, or difficult parking; Item types - hazardous materials or appliances may have special disposal fees; Sorting requirements - if you want us to separate donations from trash; and Location - properties further from our base may have additional travel costs.

Payment is due upon completion of the job. We accept cash, check, and major credit cards for your convenience. For larger estate cleanouts, we may arrange a payment schedule, but this is discussed upfront during your free estimate. We never require payment until you're completely satisfied with our work.

We handle all types of cleanouts: Estate cleanouts after a loved one passes or moves to assisted living; Garage, basement, and attic cleanouts; Whole house cleanouts for downsizing or moving; Junk and debris removal from renovations; Business and commercial cleanouts for offices and retail spaces; and Rental property cleanouts for landlords and property managers.

We believe in responsible disposal. Usable items are donated to local charities like Goodwill, Salvation Army, and other community organizations. Recyclable materials (metal, electronics, etc.) are taken to appropriate recycling facilities. Only items that can't be donated or recycled go to the landfill. This eco-friendly approach is included in our service at no extra charge.

Our comprehensive service includes: free on-site estimate, all labor for loading and hauling, transportation to disposal/donation sites, sorting items for donation vs. disposal, basic broom-clean sweep of the cleared areas, donation coordination with local charities, and responsible recycling. You don't have to lift a finger - we handle everything from start to finish.

Absolutely! You can sort through items beforehand and clearly mark what you want to keep. We can also help you sort during the cleanout if you prefer. Just let us know what should stay and what should go. We're happy to work around items you want to preserve and can even help move keepsakes to a safe location during the cleanout process.

We understand cleanout needs are often urgent. We offer same-day and next-day service when available, especially for smaller jobs. For larger estate cleanouts, we typically can start within 2-3 days of accepting your quote. During busy seasons or for specialized jobs, it may take up to a week. We'll always work with your timeline and communicate clearly about availability.

Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the job. A single room or garage cleanout typically takes 2-4 hours. Whole house cleanouts can take 1-3 days depending on the size of the home and amount of items. Large estate cleanouts may take 3-5 days. We'll provide a time estimate during your free consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.

It's helpful if you can be present at the beginning to clarify what stays and what goes, but you don't need to be there the entire time. Many clients go to work or run errands while we handle the cleanout. For estate cleanouts, we understand family members may live out of town - we can work with your schedule and keep you updated with photos and calls throughout the process.
