Common Questions About Estate Cleanouts
How long does a typical junk removal job take?
Single-room cleanouts (garage, basement, one bedroom) typically take 1-2 hours. Whole-house estate cleanouts take 4-8 hours for an average 3-bedroom home, and we may schedule this over 2 days. Curbside pickup of a few large items takes 20-30 minutes. Time increases significantly with stairs—add 30-60 minutes for every floor above ground level without elevator access.
Do I need to be home during the removal?
Preferably yes for the initial walkthrough so we can confirm exactly what's being removed and provide a final price. After that, you can leave if needed—just ensure we have clear access to all areas and items. For estate cleanouts where families may find the process emotional, many clients prefer to be off-site after the initial walkthrough.
What can't you take?
We can't remove hazardous materials like paint cans with liquid paint (dried paint cans are fine), chemicals, propane tanks, asbestos, or biological waste. We don't remove items still attached to the structure—you need a contractor to demo built-in cabinets or flooring first. Vehicle removal requires a separate towing service. In Wilmington, we also can't take loose yard waste unless bagged—that's a separate collection service.
What happens to my stuff after you remove it?
Usable items in good condition go to local donation centers like Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, or specialized charities. Metals, cardboard, and certain plastics go to recycling facilities. Appliances go to licensed processors who remove hazardous components before scrapping metal. Everything else goes to permitted landfills—we provide documentation of disposal locations if you need it for estate or business records.
Can you remove items from inside my house or just from the curb?
We provide full-service removal from anywhere on your property—inside the house, basement, attic, garage, shed, or yard. That's what differentiates professional junk removal from curbside pickup services. We handle all the heavy lifting, navigating stairs, and maneuvering through doorways. You point at what goes, and we handle the rest.
