What's Included in Estate Cleanout

Complete Home Clearance

We remove furniture, appliances, electronics, linens, kitchenware — everything except items you identify for keeping. Every room from attic to basement is cleared.

Donation Coordination

Usable items are donated to Habitat ReStore, Goodwill, and local charities. We arrange pickup and provide documentation for tax deductions. You get a detailed donation receipt.

Responsible Disposal

Appliances are recycled properly. Electronics go to certified e-waste facilities. Everything is disposed of legally and responsibly — nothing careless, nothing to the landfill if we can help it.

Sweep-Out & Final Cleanup

After hauling, we sweep floors, wipe down surfaces, and leave the space clean and ready. Optional deep cleaning by Maid Brigade of Maryland available for sale-ready properties.

Itemization & Documentation

For probate or tax purposes, we provide detailed itemization of what was removed. Perfect for estate inventory and executor reporting.

Flexibility & Sensitivity

We work at your pace, respect emotional attachments, hold items you want to review, and schedule around family visiting or legal deadlines.

Estate Cleanout Process

Intake Call

Tell us about the home, timeline, and any special considerations. We ask questions to understand your situation — are you coordinating with attorneys? Do you need itemization? Any items to keep?

On-Site Consultation

We visit the home, walk through each room, assess contents, and ask about items to keep, sell, or donate. We provide a rough timeline and answer all your questions.

Flat-Rate Quote

Based on home size, contents, and complexity, we provide a written, transparent quote. Schedule the job at a time that works for you — we can accommodate tight probate timelines.

Job Day(s)

Our crew arrives on schedule with full-size trucks. We systematically clear each room, handle all heavy items, and manage donations and disposal. You can be present or handle things remotely.

Estate Cleanout FAQ

How much does an estate cleanout cost?

Pricing depends on home size, condition, and contents. We offer flat-rate quotes based on a free on-site assessment. Most full-home cleanouts range from $2,500 to $15,000+. We provide a transparent, written quote with no hidden fees or surprises.

Do you work with probate attorneys?

Yes, we frequently partner with estate and probate attorneys. We provide detailed documentation for legal proceedings, coordinate with estate professionals, and work within your timeline and requirements. Many attorneys refer families to us for this exact service.

What happens to valuables or items we want to keep?

Before we start, you identify items to keep, donate, or sell. We’ll set those aside carefully. We can coordinate estate sales for high-value antiques or jewelry, work with appraisers, and arrange secure storage if needed. Nothing gets disposed of without your explicit approval.

How long does a full estate cleanout take?

It depends on home size and contents. Small homes typically take 1–2 days. Average homes take 2–5 days. Large estates may require a full week or multiple visits. We provide a firm timeline during the consultation, and we can work weekends if needed to meet your deadline.

Can you clean the home after the cleanout?

Absolutely. We partner with Maid Brigade of Maryland for post-cleanout deep cleaning. Ask about our ‘Clear + Clean’ combo package — we haul everything out, they deep clean every surface, and you get a spotless home ready for sale or the next resident.
