Careful estate cleanouts on your timeline
Clearing out a parent's or relative's home is hard enough without the logistics. Often the family lives elsewhere, the realtor needs it empty for showings, or a lease has to be surrendered by a fixed date.
Our crews work room by room. Anything that looks like it matters, such as papers, photographs, jewelry, cash or anything on your list, gets set aside for you, not thrown in the truck. Usable furniture and household goods go to donation partners.
We also work with executors, estate attorneys and realtors on foreclosures, bank-owned and abandoned properties. We can coordinate access, send before-and-after photos, and provide a certificate of insurance.

Estate cleanout cost
Estate cleanouts are priced by truck space like every job, so you pay for what's removed, not for hours. A one-bedroom apartment is often around a 1/2 load ($400); full houses are usually one or more full loads ($650 each). We quote from photos or a walk-through.

How estate cleanouts works
Call or send photos
Tell us what needs to go. Get a price over the phone, or upload a few photos for a firm quote.
Pick a 2-hour window
Choose a time that works for you. We call 30 minutes before we arrive.
We haul it all
We confirm the price, do all the lifting and loading, and sweep up before we leave.
Where it goes
We donate usable furniture, clothing and housewares, recycle metal and electronics, and send only the rest to licensed disposal.
Donate
Furniture, appliances and household goods in good shape go to local charities and reuse stores.
Recycle
Metal, cardboard, electronics and appliances go to recycling facilities that handle them properly.
Dispose legally
Only what can't be reused or recycled goes to licensed disposal sites. Never dumped on a curb or lot.
Before we arrive
- Walk through first. Take what the family wants, or list it for us. We'll set aside anything else that looks personal.
- Consider an estate sale. If there are valuable pieces, sell first. We clear what's left afterward.
- Share access details. Lockbox codes, doorman instructions or a realtor contact let us work while you're away.

Couldn’t be happier with this crew. They got back to me immediately with a reasonable quote and were in my Brooklyn warehouse space within half a business day. They demoed big metal and wood shelving units that were drilled into the floor, walls, and ceilings. They broke it all down and hauled it aw…
