Estate & Home Cleanouts

Estate & home cleanouts, handled with care.

Clearing out a home is more than a haul-away. Whether it’s a parent’s estate, a house heading to market, or a rental between tenants, we sort through everything, donate what others can use, sell what has value, and remove the rest — so you get back an empty home, ready for what comes next.

What’s Included in a Cleanout

Every home is different, and so is every cleanout. We build the plan around the property, your timeline, and what matters most to your family — then take care of it from the first walkthrough to an empty home.

  • Sorting, With or Without the Family
    We work through every room alongside you, or on your behalf if you live out of town or would rather not be there. Keepsakes, photos, and important papers are set aside for the family.
  • Donation Drop-offs
    Usable furniture, housewares, and clothing are delivered to local charities and donation centres, so they go on to help someone else.
  • Selling Items of Value
    Furniture, collectibles, and other items worth selling are sold through auction, consignment, or an estate sale — we coordinate it for you.
  • Hauling & Disposal
    Whatever can’t be donated or sold is hauled away and disposed of responsibly, with recycling wherever possible.
  • A Final Clean, If You Need It
    Once the home is empty, we can arrange a clean so it’s ready for listing photos, new tenants, or handing over the keys.

How a Cleanout Works

1
Walkthrough & Free Estimate
We see the home, hear what matters to you, and give you a clear, comprehensive estimate before anything begins.
2
Sort & Set Aside
Keep, family, donate, sell, or dispose — every item gets a direction, and anything important is set aside.
3
Donate, Sell & Remove
Donations are dropped off, items of value go to sale, and everything else is hauled away.
4
Empty & Ready
A final walk-through, plus a clean if you’d like one, so the home is ready to list, rent, or hand over.

If the cleanout is part of a bigger transition — downsizing, a move to a seniors’ community, or getting a home ready to sell — we handle those too, with the same team.

Cleanouts We Take On

Estate clear-outs are a big part of what we do, but they’re not the only reason a home needs emptying. These are the situations we help with most often.

Estate Cleanouts

After a loss, we help executors and families clear a loved one’s home with patience and respect, at a pace that feels right.

Clearing Before a Sale

Empty the home before it’s listed, or clear what’s left behind after the move so it’s ready for possession day.

Rental Turnovers

For landlords and property managers: we clear out what previous tenants left behind so the unit is ready to rent again.

Hoarding & Heavily Cluttered Homes

Judgment-free, discreet help for homes where belongings have built up over many years, at a pace that works for everyone involved.

After a Downsize

Moved into a smaller home or a seniors’ community? We take care of everything that didn’t make the trip.

Families Living Out of Town

Can’t be there in person? We work on your behalf, set aside what matters, and keep you in the loop throughout.

Vancouver, Burnaby & the North Shore

Condo and apartment cleanouts usually mean booking the elevator and loading area and following strata move-out rules. We plan around them so the building stays happy.

Larger family homes often come with full basements, garages, and sheds. We work through them in stages so nothing important gets missed.

Estate & home cleanout FAQs

What’s included in an estate cleanout?

Everything it takes to get the home empty: sorting through belongings, setting aside keepsakes and important papers for the family, delivering donations to local charities, selling items of value through auction, consignment, or an estate sale, and hauling away and disposing of whatever is left. If you’d like, we can also arrange a final clean once the home is empty.

Do I need to be there during the cleanout?

No. Some families like to sort alongside us; others live out of town or would rather not be there. Either way works. We agree up front on what to look out for and what should be set aside, then work on your behalf and keep you in the loop.

What happens to everything in the home?

Every item gets a direction: kept by the family, donated, sold, or disposed of. Usable furniture, housewares, and clothing go to local charities and donation centres, items with resale value are sold, and the rest is hauled away and disposed of responsibly, with recycling wherever possible.

Do you handle hoarding situations or heavily cluttered homes?

Yes. We help with homes where belongings have built up over many years, and we do it without judgment. We work at a pace that suits the person and the family, and we keep things discreet.

Do you do cleanouts that aren’t estates, like rental turnovers or clearing before a sale?

Yes. We clear out whole homes for many reasons: getting a house ready to list, clearing what’s left after a move, and rental turnovers for landlords and property managers when tenants leave belongings behind.

Can you clean the home once it’s empty?

Yes. We can arrange a final clean so the home is ready for listing photos, new tenants, or handing over the keys.

How much does an estate cleanout cost?

Every home is different. The size of the property, the volume of belongings, and how much will be donated, sold, or hauled all affect the scope. We start with a walkthrough and give you a free, comprehensive estimate, so you know what to expect before anything begins.

What areas do you serve for cleanouts?

We handle cleanouts across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, including Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North and West Vancouver, New Westminster, the Tri-Cities, Surrey, White Rock, Delta, Langley, Abbotsford, and surrounding communities.
