Our Estate Cleanout Process
Initial Consultation
We start with a conversation to understand your situation, timeline, and any special considerations for the estate.
On-Site Assessment
We visit the property to evaluate the scope of work and provide a detailed, no-obligation estimate.
Scheduled Cleanout
Our team arrives on time and works efficiently while being mindful of the emotional nature of the project.
Sort & Separate
We carefully sort items into categories: keep, donate, recycle, and dispose—giving you time to review.
Broom-Clean Finish
Once items are removed, we leave the property clean and ready for its next chapter—whether sale, rental, or renovation.
Responsible Disposal
We donate usable items to local charities, recycle what we can, and dispose of the rest responsibly.
What to Expect From Our Estate Cleanout Service
Initial Consultation
Every estate cleanout begins with a conversation. We take time to understand your unique situation—whether you're settling an estate after a loss, helping parents transition to assisted living, or preparing a property for sale. We want to know about your timeline, any items of sentimental or monetary value, and how we can best support you through the process.
This consultation can happen over the phone or in person, whichever is more comfortable. There's no pressure and no obligation—just a genuine conversation to see how we can help.
On-Site Assessment
For most estate cleanouts, we schedule an on-site visit to walk through the property together. This allows us to see the full scope of the project, identify any special handling needs, and provide an accurate estimate. We'll discuss what stays, what goes, and any items you'd like us to set aside for family members or donation.
Our estimates are always free and come with no obligation. The price we quote is the price you pay—no hidden fees or surprise charges. We base pricing on the volume of items and complexity of the project, not on arbitrary factors.
Careful Sorting
Unlike a standard junk removal job, estate cleanouts require thoughtful sorting. We work with you to separate items into categories: keepsakes and valuables to be kept by the family, items suitable for donation, recyclable materials, and items for disposal.
We understand that every item may hold a memory. Our team works patiently, giving you or your family members time to review items before anything leaves the property. If you can't be present, we can photograph and document items for your review.
Heavy Lifting Done
Once decisions are made, our team handles all the physical work. We remove furniture, appliances, boxes, clothing, and everything else that needs to go. From attics to basements, garages to bedrooms—we clear it all.
We're experienced with bulky, awkward, and heavy items. We navigate stairs, tight hallways, and challenging spaces safely without damaging the property. You don't need to lift a finger.
Property Cleanup
After the cleanout is complete, we don't just leave. We sweep out the spaces, remove any remaining debris, and leave the property in "broom-clean" condition. This is especially important if the home is being listed for sale or prepared for new occupants.
If additional cleaning or minor repairs are needed, we can discuss those services as well. Our goal is to make the property ready for whatever comes next.
Donation & Disposal
We believe in giving items a second life whenever possible. Furniture, clothing, household goods, and other usable items are delivered to local charities and organizations throughout Northern New Jersey. We can provide donation receipts for tax purposes when available.
Recyclable materials are taken to appropriate facilities. Only items that truly can't be reused or recycled are disposed of at licensed facilities. We handle all disposal in full compliance with New Jersey regulations.
Estate Cleanout FAQs
The timeline depends on the size of the property and amount of contents. A small apartment might be completed in a single day, while a large home with decades of accumulated belongings could take 2-3 days. During our on-site assessment, we'll provide a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.

We treat every item with care. If we discover items that appear valuable—jewelry, collectibles, documents, or anything else—we immediately set them aside and notify you.
