Getting an estate ready to sell can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help. Our team handles everything from clearing out furniture and household items to tidying up outdoor spaces, making the property clean and presentable for potential buyers.
A client needed a full cleanout of a four-bedroom acreage located 20 minutes outside of Edmonton. The job included removing all items inside the home, such as appliances, furniture, mattresses, shelves, clothing, books, kitchenware, and even carpets and damaged hardwood flooring. We also took down old curtains to create a fresh, open feel.
The second stage of the cleanup focused on the exterior. We cleared out yard equipment, workshop contents, and large machinery. The property was also cleaned up to look well-maintained—gutters were cleared, weeds removed, pet waste cleaned up, and random debris like bricks were taken away. Grass was trimmed, trees were cut back, and everything was left looking neat and inviting.

Estate cleanouts are often needed in situations where a property needs to be emptied quickly and efficiently. Whether due to a major life change or simply preparing a home for sale, hiring professionals can make the process much easier. Here are some common reasons why an estate cleanout might be necessary:
Before putting a house on the market, it’s important to make it look clean and inviting to potential buyers. Removing old furniture, personal belongings, and clutter helps create a fresh, open space that makes the home more appealing.
When a loved one passes away, sorting through their belongings can be an emotional and time-consuming task. An estate cleanout helps clear the space while ensuring that valuable or sentimental items are handled with care.
When moving to a smaller home, senior living facility, or another location, a cleanout can help simplify the process. Removing excess items ensures that only necessary and meaningful belongings are kept.
If a rental property has been left full of belongings after a tenant moves out, a professional cleanout service can help remove unwanted items and prepare the space for new renters.
If major renovations are planned, removing furniture, old flooring, and fixtures ahead of time can speed up the process. A cleanout ensures that contractors have a clear space to work.
Estate cleanouts involve more than just removing junk. The process can include:

The timeline for an estate clean-out project can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size of the estate, the number of items to be sorted through, the preferences of the family or estate administrators, and any legal requirements that may apply. We will typically come in toward the end of the project to remove and dispose of unwanted items. The timeline for this stage will depend on the number of items to be removed. It’s important to note that estate clean-outs often involve a range of tasks beyond just the removal of unwanted items, such as sorting through and organizing personal belongings, packing and moving items to new locations or storage facilities, selling or donating unwanted items, and disposing of any remaining items that are no longer needed. The specific timeline for an estate clean-out will depend on the unique circumstances of the project.
