How long does it take to clean out an estate?

Most homes are done in one to three days. A small apartment can be cleared in an afternoon. Larger homes, or homes where the family wants time to look through belongings as we go, may take a few days spread out at whatever pace feels right to you.

What do you do with everything you remove?

We sort as we go. Usable furniture, clothing, and household goods are donated to Phoenix-area charities and we provide donation receipts. Metals, electronics, and cardboard are recycled. Only what truly has no other use goes to the landfill. Anything that looks personal or valuable — photos, documents, jewelry, cash — is set aside and handed to the family.

Can you clean out a house that is in probate?

Yes. We work with executors, personal representatives, and probate attorneys all over Maricopa County. We can document the process, hold items pending court or family decisions, and coordinate timing with your attorney or realtor so the property is ready to list.

We already had an estate sale. Will you take what's left?

That's one of our most common jobs. Estate sale companies typically sell 60 to 80 percent of a home's contents and leave the rest. We clear everything that remains — leftover furniture, boxes, garage contents — and leave the house broom-clean and ready for the realtor.

Do we need to be there during the cleanout?

No. Many of the families we help live out of state. After the initial walkthrough (which we can do by video call), we can handle the entire cleanout with lockbox or realtor access and send you photos at every stage.

See how it works

This is more than hauling. We know whose home this was.

Most of the people who call us have just lost a parent, a grandparent, a spouse. The house is full of fifty years of life — furniture, photo albums, a garage nobody’s opened in a decade — and there’s a deadline. The realtor wants it empty. Probate is moving. Siblings live in three different states.

We started Estate Cleanout Phoenix because families in that spot don’t need a junk crew tossing Grandma’s china into a dumpster. They need someone who will slow down where it matters, set aside the photographs and the paperwork and the ring found in the sock drawer, donate what can still do some good, and leave the house clean and ready — without the family having to make a hundred trips to Goodwill in the July heat.

Everything personal or valuable we find — documents, photos, jewelry, cash, military medals — gets set aside and handed directly to you. Always. It’s the first rule on every job.

How an estate cleanout works

Free walkthrough — in person or by video

We walk the property with you (or on a video call if you’re out of state), listen to what matters to your family, and give you one written price. No hourly meter, no dump fees tacked on later.

You flag what stays

Tag the keepsakes, or just tell us “the dining set goes to my sister in Tucson.” Not sure yet? We can stage undecided items in one room so the family can look through them.

We sort, donate, recycle, and clear

Usable goods go to Phoenix-area charities (you get donation receipts for the estate’s records). Metals and electronics get recycled. Personal items and anything valuable come straight to you.

Broom-clean and ready to list

We sweep out every room, close up the house, and send you photos. Most homes are finished in one to three days.

Questions families ask us

How much does an estate cleanout cost in Phoenix?

Most whole-house cleanouts in the Valley run between $800 and $3,500, depending on the size of the home, how full it is, and access (stairs, gated communities, distance to the truck). A packed three-bedroom with a full garage costs more than a lightly furnished condo. The walkthrough is free and the price we quote is the price you pay.

How long does it take?

A small apartment can be done in an afternoon. Most houses take one to three days. If your family wants time to look through things as we go, we’ll slow down — there’s no meter running.

What happens to everything you take?

We sort as we go: donations to Phoenix-area charities (with receipts for the estate), recycling for metals and electronics, and the landfill only for what’s truly beyond use. Personal or valuable items always come back to the family.

The house is in probate. Can you still clear it?

Yes — it’s a big part of what we do. We work with executors, personal representatives, and probate attorneys across Maricopa County, and we can document the cleanout and hold items pending decisions. More on our probate cleanout page.

We already had an estate sale. Will you take what didn’t sell?

All the time. Estate sales usually move 60–80% of a home’s contents; we clear the rest and leave the house ready to list. See after the estate sale.

Do we have to be there?

No. Many of our families live out of state. We can do the walkthrough by video, work from lockbox or realtor access, and send photos at every stage.
