Estate Cleanouts
Whole-property cleanouts for executors, trustees and heirs. We sort, set aside what matters, document everything, and leave the house empty and listing-ready. Before you list it, we empty it.
- From $1,800. We work with executors, trustees, heirs and agents. Sorted, documented, and left broom-clean and listing-ready.
- Typical job: 1-3 days. Average ticket in this market runs about $3,200.
- Fixed written price before any work starts.
What we take
- Entire contents of a house, garage, shed and yard
- Furniture from every room
- Decades of stored paperwork (shredding available)
- Appliances and electronics
- Clothing and linens (donated where possible)
- Garage workshop contents, tools and equipment
- Vehicles and equipment removal coordinated separately
What we can't
- Household hazardous waste — we flag it and tell you exactly where it goes
- Anything you have not authorized. Nothing leaves without a signed scope.
Nobody legitimate takes household hazardous waste on a junk run — it has to go through a county HHW event. We separate it out, stack it where you can find it, and tell you the nearest drop-off date instead of quietly leaving it in a corner.
What estate cleanouts cost
$1,800 – $6,500
Fixed written price after a walkthrough. Never hourly.
The spread is real and it is mostly about square footage, how full the property is, and whether there is a garage, shed, outbuilding or yard in scope. We would rather walk it, hand you a fixed number, and be held to it than quote an hourly rate that quietly grows on day two.
Anything outside the walkthrough scope — a fridge, heavy debris, a long carry — is priced from the published estate cleanouts rate card, the same book every job uses.
How it works
- 1
Walkthrough and written scope
We walk the property with you — in person or on video if you are out of the area — and hand you a fixed, written price. No hourly surprises.
- 2
The set-aside pass
Before anything moves, we do a documented sweep for photos, documents, jewelry, firearms, cash and anything on your keep list. Found items are photographed and set aside, not guessed at.
- 3
The clear
Room by room. Donation-quality goods go to a receiving charity and you get the receipt for the deduction.
- 4
Photo-documented handoff
Before and after photos of every room, delivered the same day. If the property is going to probate court, an agent, or an out-of-state heir, this is the file that settles the questions.
Questions people actually ask
How much is an estate cleanout?
Most whole-house cleanouts in San Joaquin and Sacramento counties land between $1,800 and $6,500 depending on square footage, how full the property is, and whether there is a garage, shed or yard involved. We give a fixed written price after a walkthrough — never an hourly rate that grows.
I am the executor and I live out of state. Can you handle this without me?
That is a large share of what we do. We work from a lockbox, send a video walkthrough before we start, photo-document the set-aside pass, and deliver before-and-after photos of every room. You never have to fly in.
What if you find something valuable?
We photograph it, set it aside, and call you before we touch anything else. Cash, jewelry, firearms, deeds, insurance policies, savings bonds and photo albums come out of these houses regularly. Our set-aside pass exists precisely because they do.
Can you work around a probate timeline?
Yes. If the property has not cleared probate yet we can do a secure-and-assess visit now and the full clear the day authority is granted. Tell us the hearing date and we will hold the slot.
Do you coordinate with the listing agent?
Routinely. We can deliver the property broom-clean on a date the agent picks, and we will send them the after photos directly so they can schedule the photographer.
