A garage that started as tool storage can become decades of accumulated furniture, appliances, and boxes — sometimes reaching extreme clutter or hoarder levels. We've cleared garages the homeowner thought were small jobs that turned into four truckloads. Whatever the size or condition, we show up, load everything without judgment, and leave the space swept clean.

"We finally decided to reclaim our garage in Centreville which had become a graveyard for old projects. We had a rusted-out weight bench, an old mountain bike with flat tires, and about six bags of dried-out garden soil that were just taking up space. I called DMV Go Junk and he was out here the next morning. He loaded everything up — including a heavy old wooden workbench I thought was going to be a problem — without any fuss. Super honest and hard working guy. If you're tired of tripping over junk in your garage, call him."
"Finally cleared out our two-car garage in Burke — 30 years of stuff. Matt gave us a fair price, showed up on time, and had it completely cleared in a few hours. Couldn't believe how fast it went. Highly recommend for garage cleanouts in Fairfax County."
"Our garage had been a storage unit for years — furniture, tools, boxes, holiday stuff. Matt cleared everything out same day and swept the floor after. The price was exactly what he quoted. Will use again."
Yes, we prefer you or someone you trust to be present — at least at the start — so you can point out what goes and what stays. Once we know the scope, we can often finish while you step away.
That's very common. We'll go through items with you before loading anything. We don't throw away anything you haven't confirmed. If you're on the fence about something, we set it aside and come back to it.
We can't take hazardous materials — paint, chemicals, pesticides, propane tanks. But we'll tell you exactly where to drop them off. Many Northern Virginia jurisdictions have free hazardous waste drop-off days.
Most garage cleanouts run $299–$699 depending on volume. Text us 2–3 photos and we can usually give you a firm quote in minutes — before you commit to anything.
Yes. We sweep the garage floor before we leave — loose nails, drywall dust, debris, all of it. In HOA communities like McNair Farms, Countryside, and Reston's cluster neighborhoods where walkthrough inspections happen quickly, this matters. You won't be fielding a violation notice because we left a mess.
We re-quote on the spot before loading anything extra. You approve the new price before we proceed. No surprises on the invoice.
A standard two-car garage cleanout in Northern Virginia takes 1–3 hours depending on volume and how packed it is. Garages with large appliances, gym equipment, or decades of boxes run closer to the 3-hour end. We give you a realistic time estimate when we quote so you can plan your day.
No sorting required. Just point to what goes and we load it. If you're unsure about certain items — furniture in decent condition, tools, sporting equipment — we can set them aside while we work so you can decide at the end. Nothing gets loaded without your confirmation.
Yes. Items in good condition — furniture, appliances, tools, sporting goods — go to Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Salvation Army, or similar local charities before anything goes to the landfill. Fairfax County disposal fees apply to what actually ends up at the transfer station, so donating first keeps your cost down and keeps usable items out of the waste stream.
We price by truck space — how much of the trailer your garage fills. No hourly rates. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.
| Load Size | What It Fits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1/8 Load | Single item or small pile | $99–$149 |
| 2/8 Load | Corner of a garage, 4–6 items | $199–$299 |
| 4/8 Load | Single-car garage | $349–$449 |
| 6/8 Load | Two-car garage, most of trailer | $549–$649 |
| Full Load | Packed two-car + overflow | $699–$849+ |
Special items: Mattress +$50 · Fridge/AC +$70 · Tires +$25 · Electronics +$50

We serve all of Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland. Here's what garage cleanouts typically look like in the communities we work in most often:
McNair Farms and Countryside townhouses have single-car garages that accumulate 10–20 years of stuff fast. HOA court access is often tight — we carry items to the street when trucks can't enter. Most Herndon garage jobs are 3/8 to 5/8 load.
Reston's 1960s and 70s homes have garages that in many cases haven't been fully cleared since they were built. Lake Anne and Hunters Woods cluster communities have shared pathways — we always confirm access before arrival. These are often our biggest jobs.
Burke and Fairfax Station colonials with two-car garages are among our most common full-load jobs. Families who've lived there since the 90s often have three decades of accumulated furniture, tools, and renovation leftovers. Fair Lakes townhouses run smaller but pack a lot in.
McLean garages tend to be larger and often contain heavier items — home gym equipment, heavy safes, large appliances, boxes from multiple moves. These jobs run 5/8 to full load. Estate cleanouts are also common here when larger homes change hands.
Great Falls has some of the largest garages in Northern Virginia — three-car attached garages with workshop areas are common. Excellent driveway access means we can pull the trailer close and load efficiently. These jobs typically run a full trailer or more.
Vienna's mid-century ranches and craftsman homes often have detached garages that have become full-time storage units. Old power tools, holiday decorations from the 1980s, and furniture from three houses ago are typical Vienna garage inventory. Usually 4/8 to 6/8 load.
Arlington garages are smaller — most single-car or tandem. Storage units in condo buildings are common. The volume per job is lower but access is often the challenge: tight alleys, shared driveways, no-parking zones. We plan around all of it.
Old Town and Del Ray have older detached garages — some barely holding together — that are packed with decades of items. Potomac Yard and Carlyle have newer townhouse garages with better access. Text us photos before booking so we can plan the access route.
