Estate Cleanout Services: What to Expect & Costs

Estate cleanouts are emotionally and physically challenging. Whether you're settling an estate after a loved one's passing, downsizing for senior living, or clearing a property for sale, knowing what to expect makes the process easier.

What Is an Estate Cleanout?

An estate cleanout is the complete removal of all contents from a home. This includes furniture, personal belongings, kitchen items, garage contents, basement and attic items, yard debris, and anything else that needs to go.

The Estate Cleanout Process

Step 1: Walk-Through & Estimate

We visit the property, assess the scope, and provide a detailed quote. This is free and no-obligation.

Step 2: Sorting & Planning

We work with you to identify items to keep, donate, or dispose of. Sentimental items are handled with care.

Step 3: Removal Day(s)

Our crew arrives with trucks and equipment. We systematically clear each room, loading items for disposal and setting aside donations.

Step 4: Clean-Up

We sweep all rooms and leave the property in broom-clean condition.

Tips for a Smoother Estate Cleanout

• Walk through the entire property first and identify must-keep items
• Remove important documents and valuables before the cleanout
• Take photos of sentimental items you can't keep
• Consider an estate sale for valuable items before the cleanout
• Allow enough time — rushing leads to regret
