Whole House & Garage Cleanouts in Palm Beach County
Some jobs aren’t a couch and a couple of boxes. Sometimes the entire house needs to be emptied — every room, every closet, the garage, the patio, the shed. Whether you’re clearing a deceased relative’s home, preparing a property for sale, gutting a rental after a bad tenant, or finally tackling a garage that hasn’t seen a car in years, we handle the full cleanout from start to finish and leave the property broom-clean.
Every cleanout is quoted individually. We walk the property, assess the volume and scope, and give you a firm price before we touch anything. No hourly billing, no surprise charges. You approve the quote, we do the work, you get a clean property.
When You Need a Full Cleanout
A full cleanout isn’t the same as hauling a few items. These are the situations where people in Palm Beach County call us to empty an entire property.
Estate Cleanouts After a Death or Move to Care
When a family member passes away or moves into assisted living, the home they leave behind is typically full — decades of furniture, clothing, personal belongings, kitchen contents, and everything accumulated over a lifetime. In Palm Beach County, where many residents are retirees or seasonal snowbirds, this is an especially common situation. Families often live out of state and need someone local to handle the cleanout. We empty the entire home, room by room, and leave it ready for listing, sale, or the next step. We work respectfully, on your timeline, and can coordinate with estate sale companies if you’re having items appraised or sold before the cleanout.
Pre-Sale Property Clearing
Listing a property in Palm Beach County? Empty homes show better and sell faster. If the property still has furniture, personal items, garage clutter, or leftover contents from the previous owner, we’ll clear everything out so your realtor can stage it, photograph it, and list it clean. This is especially common with investor-purchased properties and inherited homes where the new owner has no use for the contents and just needs the property emptied as quickly as possible.
Garage & Storage Area Cleanouts
The garage is where things go to die — old tools, broken furniture, boxes that haven’t been opened since the last move, paint cans, holiday decorations nobody wants, sports equipment the kids outgrew ten years ago. Same goes for storage sheds, utility rooms, and enclosed patios that have slowly become dumping grounds. We empty the entire space, haul everything away, and give you the space back. Most garage cleanouts take a few hours and fit in one or two trailer loads.
Hoarding & Heavy Accumulation Situations
We understand that hoarding situations are sensitive. Whether you’re helping a family member, cleaning up an inherited property, or a property manager dealing with a unit that’s become severely cluttered, we approach these jobs without judgment. We work methodically, room by room, and can accommodate situations where the volume of material is far beyond a normal household. These cleanouts may take multiple days and many trailer loads, and we’ll provide a complete scope and quote before starting so there are no surprises along the way.
How a Full Cleanout Works
Step 1: Walk-through and quote. We come to the property and walk through every room, the garage, the yard — everywhere that needs to be cleared. We assess the total volume, identify anything that requires special handling (appliances with refrigerant, electronics, heavy safes, etc.), and give you a firm, all-inclusive price. This isn’t an estimate that changes later — it’s the price. If you approve it, we schedule the work.
Step 2: You tell us what stays and what goes. If there are items you want to keep, donate, or have someone pick up separately, point them out during the walk-through and we’ll leave them. Everything else goes. If you’re not sure about certain items, we can set them aside for your review before we haul them away.
Step 3: We do the work. We start loading, room by room, trailer load by trailer load. Our dump trailer runs between the property and the disposal facility as many times as needed until the house is empty. For a typical 3-bedroom home, a full cleanout usually takes one full day — sometimes two for larger homes or heavy accumulation situations. We don’t cut corners and we don’t leave items behind because they were hard to reach.
Step 4: Broom-clean handoff. When we’re done, the property is empty and swept. Not “mostly empty” — actually empty. Every room, every closet, the garage, the patio. Ready for a realtor to walk in with a photographer, ready for a contractor to start a renovation, ready for whatever comes next. If you need a deeper level of cleaning (sanitization, carpet cleaning, pressure washing), we can recommend local vendors who handle that work.
What Gets Removed in a Full Cleanout
Everything that isn’t attached to the house. Furniture — couches, beds, dressers, tables, desks, bookshelves, entertainment centers. Appliances — refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, window AC units, microwaves. Electronics — old TVs, computers, printers, stereos. Clothing, shoes, linens, kitchenware, personal belongings, paperwork, books, decorations, and all the miscellaneous items that fill closets, drawers, cabinets, and shelves over years of living.
Garage contents — tools, lawn equipment, sporting goods, bikes, storage bins, holiday decorations, paint cans, chemicals, and whatever else has accumulated. Patio and yard items — outdoor furniture, grills, planters, pool floats, broken umbrellas, landscape debris. Storage sheds — everything inside, and if the shed itself needs to come down, we handle shed demolition and removal as well.
What we don’t remove: Hazardous materials (asbestos, biological waste, medical waste, large quantities of chemicals) require specialized disposal that’s outside our scope. If we encounter hazardous materials during a cleanout, we’ll flag them and can recommend a licensed hazmat disposal company. We also don’t handle items that are structurally attached to the home — if you need walls, flooring, or fixtures removed, that’s light demolition work and we can quote that separately.
Whole House & Garage Cleanout FAQ
How much does a whole house cleanout cost?
Every cleanout is different, so we quote each one individually after a walk-through. Cost depends on the size of the home, the volume of contents, the level of accumulation, and whether there are items requiring special handling (appliances with refrigerant, heavy furniture on upper floors, etc.). A small condo or apartment cleanout might run a few hundred dollars. A fully loaded 3-bedroom house with a packed garage will run more. We give you the firm price before we start — no hourly billing and no surprise charges.
How long does a full house cleanout take?
A standard 2–3 bedroom home with a normal amount of contents usually takes one full day. Larger homes, properties with heavy accumulation, or hoarding situations may take two or three days. We’ll tell you the expected timeline during the walk-through so you can plan accordingly. We work efficiently — no standing around — and run multiple trailer loads per day until the property is clear.
Do I need to be there during the cleanout?
You need to be present for the initial walk-through so you can identify anything you want to keep and approve the quote. After that, many clients give us access and let us work while they handle other things — especially out-of-state family members managing an estate cleanout remotely. We’ll lock up when we leave and notify you when the job is complete.
Can you donate usable items instead of throwing everything away?
We can separate items that are in good, donatable condition and drop them at a local donation center. We don’t guarantee that every item will be accepted — donation centers have their own standards — but we make a reasonable effort to divert usable items from the landfill when possible. If you have specific items you know you want donated, let us know during the walk-through.
Do you handle hoarding cleanouts?
Yes. We approach hoarding situations with professionalism and without judgment. These jobs require more time and more loads than a typical cleanout, and we quote them accordingly after a thorough walk-through. We work methodically room by room and can accommodate situations where the volume is well beyond a normal household. If the property needs cleaning or remediation after the cleanout, we can recommend local companies who specialize in that work.
What does broom-clean mean?
Broom-clean means every item has been removed and the floors have been swept. The property is ready for the next step — whether that’s a realtor walkthrough, a renovation, or new tenants moving in. Broom-clean does not include deep cleaning, carpet shampooing, or pressure washing. If you need those services, we can recommend local cleaning companies who can handle that after we finish.
