Moving & Estate Cleanouts in Austin, TX
Downsizing, moving on, or settling a loved one's home — we clear it room by room, donate what deserves a second life, and treat the whole job with care.
An estate cleanout isn't a junk job — it's someone's household, and often someone's memories. We work these differently: room by room, at the family's pace, with anything flagged as a keepsake set safely aside. Donatable furniture and household goods go to Austin-area charities first, and only what's truly done for heads to disposal. When the receiving charity provides receipts, we pass them along.
Moving cleanouts run the same playbook at a faster tempo: we arrive after the moving truck leaves, clear everything that didn't make the cut, and hand back a broom-clean house — ready to list, ready for the walkthrough, or just ready to be done with.
How we run an estate cleanout
- Walk-through first — in person or by photos/video call if you're out of town
- Family flags keepsakes — anything marked stays untouched
- Donation sort — usable furniture, kitchenware, and clothing routed to charity
- Haul and clear — room by room, garage and shed included
- Broom-clean finish — swept and ready for the realtor's photographer
What does an estate cleanout cost in Austin?
Partial cleanouts (a few rooms, a garage) run $245 for a quarter-to-half truck or $400 for three-quarters to a full truck. Whole-home cleanouts needing more than one load start at $500 and are planned as multi-load jobs with the total agreed upfront — you'll never discover the real price at the end. Photos of each room are enough for an honest number.
Out-of-town? We work remotely all the time
Many estate jobs are coordinated by family members in another city. Photos, a video walkthrough, and a phone call are enough to quote, schedule, and complete the entire cleanout — with after-photos sent when the house is clear. Realtors and estate attorneys are welcome to coordinate directly with us on the family's behalf.

Moving & Estate Cleanouts — FAQs
Can you handle the cleanout if I live out of state?
Yes — this is common. A local realtor, neighbor, or lockbox gets us access; you get a photo quote before and after-photos when it's done. The whole job can be managed by phone and email.
What happens to my parent's belongings?
Anything the family flags stays put. Usable furniture and goods go to Austin-area charities rather than the landfill, and we treat every room as if the family were standing in it — because usually, emotionally, they are.
How quickly can a whole house be cleared?
Most single-family homes clear in one to two days depending on contents. If there's a closing date bearing down, tell us — we're used to working against real estate calendars.
Do you work with realtors and estate attorneys?
Regularly. We can invoice clearly, schedule around showings and closings, and provide the before/after documentation the paperwork side sometimes needs.
