Estate cleanouts are different from regular junk removal. It's someone's belongings accumulated over decades — and in some cases, extreme clutter or hoarding situations that require extra patience and sensitivity. We approach every estate and hoarder cleanout with care and discretion, coordinating with real estate agents when needed.

Yes. We coordinate timing with estate sale companies regularly. We come after the sale to clear what didn't sell — or we work a separate area of the house while the sale runs in another.
Tell us upfront and we'll set those items aside so you can have them evaluated before we remove anything. We don't make the call on value — that's yours to make.
The donation centers we use (Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Salvation Army) provide receipts directly. We can help coordinate and let you know which items went where.
Either works. Some families want everything cleared at once. Others want us to do the garage and basement first, then come back for the main house after family members have gone through personal items. We accommodate both.
For large estate jobs, 3–5 days notice is ideal. For urgent situations — property sales with tight deadlines — call us directly and we'll do our best to accommodate same-week or same-day.
They go to licensed disposal facilities — never illegal dumping. We'll tell you exactly where everything went if you ask.
A 3–4 bedroom home typically takes 1–2 full days depending on volume and how sorted the contents are. Estate cleanouts in McLean, Great Falls, and Bethesda where homes haven't been touched in years often run longer — we factor that into the quote so there are no surprises on the day.
Yes. Pre-sale estate cleanouts are one of our most common jobs across Northern Virginia. We coordinate directly with your listing agent or real estate attorney, work around photographer and stager schedules, and can often complete the job within 48 hours of your call. Fairfax County and Montgomery County properties move fast — we understand the timeline pressure.
Yes. A full estate cleanout includes the main living areas, garage, basement, attic, and any outbuildings on the property. We clear everything you designate — room by room, with your approval before anything is loaded. Nothing leaves without confirmation from you or your designated representative.
We price estate cleanouts by truck space — how much of the trailer the items fill. No hourly rates, no per-room charges. The price you approve before we start is the price on the invoice.

|---|---|---|
| 2/8 Load | Single room, partial cleanout | $199–$299 |
| 4/8 Load | 2–3 rooms, half trailer | $349–$449 |
| 6/8 Load | Full apartment or small home | $549–$649 |
| Full Load | Full house, multiple rooms | $699–$849 |
| Multi-Load | Large estate, multiple trips | Call for quote |

Estate cleanouts are emotionally difficult jobs. We work carefully and respectfully in every home.
Herndon townhouses are often cleared when a parent moves to assisted living or passes. Multi-floor layouts mean careful stair carries — we take our time on these jobs and never rush a grieving family.
McLean estate cleanouts are among our largest jobs — big homes with decades of furniture, artwork, and personal items. Executors and realtors rely on us to clear quickly before a listing date. We work around estate sale schedules.
Great Falls estate cleanouts often involve large properties with separate outbuildings, garages, and sheds in addition to the main house. We clear everything in one coordinated job — multiple loads if needed.
Bethesda and Potomac estate cleanouts regularly involve 40–50 years of accumulated belongings. We work with families, estate attorneys, and realtors. Donation of usable items to Habitat ReStore and Salvation Army is always offered.
Fairfax colonials with full basements often need basement-to-attic cleanouts. HOA communities require us to follow working hour restrictions — we plan timing accordingly so no violation notices are issued.
Old Town Alexandria estate cleanouts often involve historic townhouses with narrow staircases and small doorways. Del Ray is similar. We've moved everything out of homes where people thought it was impossible — it just takes patience and the right technique.
