Garage & Estate Cleanouts

Estate and garage clearing takes patience. We work slowly through the space with you, set aside anything you want to keep, and haul the rest away in a single visit.

Organized garage interior with tools and storage shelving before a cleanout

An estate cleanout is rarely just a hauling job. Often a family is sorting through a parent's home of forty years, a realtor has a listing date, and an executor is juggling paperwork from out of state. We slow down for that. Before loading, we walk the property with whoever is in charge, agree on what stays, and keep a dedicated keep pile so nothing personal leaves by accident.

Garages are a different challenge — heavy, dusty, and packed. Old paint cans, workbenches, shelving, lawn equipment, and decades of tools pile up quickly. We clear it bay by bay, break down shelving and benches, and leave the floor swept so you can park again or show the space to buyers.

Because the owners run every job, you deal with the same people from the first call to the final sweep. For larger estates we bring multi-load capacity and can split the work across days around showings or closing dates. Usable furniture and household goods are donated, metal is recycled, and everything else is disposed of responsibly.

What's included

  • Room-by-room or bay-by-bay sorting with a keep pile
  • Careful handling of documents, photos, and keepsakes
  • Furniture disassembly when needed for tight doorways
  • Multi-load capacity for full-property clearing
  • Donation drop-off for usable items

Items we take

  • Whole-house furniture and furnishings
  • Workbenches, shelving, and cabinets
  • Lawn mowers and garden equipment
  • Old tools, hardware, and scrap metal
  • Clothing, linens, and kitchenware
  • Boxes of papers and books
  • Holiday décor and storage totes
  • Old bikes, sports gear, and toys

Who it's for

Best for families settling an estate, realtors preparing a property for listing, and homeowners reclaiming a garage.

Pricing

What affects the price

  • Total volume — estates may run several trailer loads, garages often one
  • Sorting time — a careful keep/donate/haul sort takes longer than a straight clear-out
  • Access and layout — long carries, stairs, and packed rooms add labor
  • Special items — pianos, safes, and hazardous leftovers can change the price

Example Job

A typical job in Birmingham

An out-of-state executor needed a 1940s Quarton Lake home cleared before an open house. We walked the house on a video call, set aside photo albums and documents, then cleared three bedrooms, a full basement, and a detached garage over two visits — donating the dining set and most of the linens.

FAQs

Common questions

Can you work with an executor or realtor on a timeline?

Yes. Michael and Luke schedule estate jobs directly and can work around closing dates and showings.

What if we find something valuable mid-cleanout?

We stop and set it aside for you. Nothing leaves the property without your say.

Can the family be off-site during the cleanout?

Yes. Many estate jobs are coordinated by phone or video call. We confirm the keep list up front and send photos when the work is complete.

Do you take old paint and chemicals from the garage?

Dried latex paint is fine. Wet oil paint, solvents, pesticides, and other hazardous chemicals need county household hazardous waste drop-off, and we'll point you to the right one.

Can you donate furniture from the estate?

Yes. We set aside pieces in good condition and drop them at local donation centers whenever they're accepted.
