When Mom's House Becomes Your Project

Last Tuesday I got a call from a woman in Bellevue who’d just flown in from Denver to clear out her mother’s house on Mercer Island. Realtor wanted listing photos Friday. Four bedrooms. Forty-three years of stuff. She had two days off work.

That’s a normal week for us.

Most Seattle property cleanouts start the same way — a key, a stack of mail, and four bedrooms full of someone else’s life. Maybe it’s a parent who passed, an aunt who moved into memory care, a tenant who left ahead of an eviction, or a flip you just closed on in Ballard or West Seattle. Whatever brought you here, the work is the same: every closet, every drawer, every garage corner.

For distressed homes with severe clutter, see our family-supported hoarder cleanout service.

What This Job Actually Looks Like, Solo

Most people quote it out before they take a swing at it themselves. Here’s what the do-it-yourself path actually costs — and what one call gets you instead.

Doing it yourself

Two weekends. Four dump trips. A sore back.

  • 2 days of PTO — minimum
  • A pickup or rental truck (and gas, and parking)
  • 4–6 trips to the transfer station
  • Per-load dump fees you didn’t budget for
  • Hazardous waste turned away at the gate
  • Donations still in the basement Friday morning
Calling Junk B Gone

One walkthrough. One quote. One day.

  • A free on-site (or FaceTime) walkthrough
  • A firm, all-inclusive quote before we touch a thing
  • One crew, one truck, one day for most full-house jobs
  • Donations sorted on-site to charitable organizations like Second Spark
  • 100% of appliances recycled through our private partners
  • Floor swept before we leave

We Know Seattle Property Cleanouts

We sort, donate, recycle, and haul. Your house gets emptied — and where items can be reused, they go to charitable organizations like Second Spark instead of the landfill. We sweep before we leave.

Estate Executors

Cleared a 3-bedroom Magnolia estate on a Thursday so the realtor could shoot Friday morning. Donations sorted on-site, appliances recycled, family heirlooms boxed for the kids.

Foreclosure & Trust Agents

Most 30-day-clock cleanouts wrap in a single visit. We’ve worked with several of the big trust firms across King County.

Landlords & Property Managers

Apartment turnover Friday? Even hoarder situations clear in a day. We handle the dump fees, you collect rent Monday.

Adult Children Flying In

FaceTime walkthrough Saturday, cleanout Sunday, you fly home Monday. We’ve done this hundreds of times.

Downsizers

Forty years in the same house. We move at your pace, not ours.

What We Haul During Property Cleanouts

From three-bedroom estates to apartment turnovers and hoarder cleanouts, here's what Seattle property owners call us for most:

Furniture

Couches, mattresses, dressers, desks, dining sets — assembled, broken, or mid-collapse.

Appliances

Fridges, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, water heaters. We disconnect and haul.

Garage Junk

Tools, paint, batteries, oil, holiday boxes, the bike from college, the workbench nobody used.

Yard Debris

Old fence panels, lumber piles, overgrowth, rotted decking, the swing set the kids outgrew.

E-Waste

CRTs, flat-screens, computers, monitors, printers — routed to certified e-waste recyclers.

Boxes & Paper

Decades of files, magazines, books, photo albums. We can shred sensitive paperwork on request.

Clothes & Linens

Closets full of clothing, linens, kitchenware. Reusable items go to charitable organizations like Second Spark.

Hot Tubs, Sheds & Pianos

Yes, we move those too. Even the upright that's been pinning down a corner of the basement since 1978.

Hazardous Items

Paint, automotive fluids, household chemicals — separated and routed to proper disposal channels.

Senior Downsizing Help — At Mom and Dad's Pace

When the family home is too much, the move-out is more emotional than the move-in. Forty years of belongings need to be sorted into “keep,” “share with grandkids,” “donate,” and “let go” — and most adult children are doing it on a weekend visit between work and their own families.

We work alongside your parents, not around them. Heirlooms get set aside. Donations go to charitable organizations like Second Spark. The rest leaves the same day. The pace is whatever feels right for the family — and we’ve done this enough to know that pace isn’t “fast.”

What we handle:

Family member and estate professional carefully sorting through keepsakes and photo albums

How a Property Cleanout Works

Three steps. We do the heavy lifting — and the sorting, and the cleanup.

01

Free Walkthrough

We tour the property with you — in person or by FaceTime if you’re out of state. We tag what’s going, talk through donations, and answer every “can you really take that?” question.

02

Firm All-Inclusive Quote

Flat number, before we touch a thing. No fuel surcharge, no per-item fees on furniture or appliances. The quote we give is the price you pay.

03

Haul, Sort, Sweep

We load the truck (sometimes two), sort donations on-site for charitable organizations like Second Spark, and sweep up. Most three-bedroom homes wrap in a single day.

Basement Cleanout — Even the Stuff You Forgot You Had

If your Seattle house has a basement, you probably have an unfinished space full of decisions you’ve been putting off — the crib three kids used, paint cans from the previous owner, the box marked “tax 2014.”

We do basements. Tight stairwells, low ceilings, narrow hallways — that’s most of what we’re trained for. The crew brings the right gear, sorts as we load, and the basement comes back as a usable space. Same day for most jobs.

What we haul out:

Why Seattle Trusts Us With Their Cleanouts

Junk B Gone team members standing by the branded junk removal truck

Our oldest customer right now is the granddaughter of a woman we cleared out for in 1991. That’s the part of doing this for 35 years that doesn’t show up in the Yelp reviews. Property cleanouts are mostly about trust — you’re handing strangers the key to a house full of someone’s life, and you’re hoping they’ll treat the family photos and the broken lamp with the same care.

We sort. We donate where it makes sense, to charitable organizations like Second Spark. We recycle 100% of appliances through our private partners. We don’t just dump everything into a transfer station and call it a day. And when an executor or out-of-state child needs documentation for the estate file, we send before/after photos, weight tickets, and a list of what went where.

We’re not a franchise with an 800 number. We’re your neighbors — a local Seattle company since 1989 with crews you’ll see every time. Our pricing is transparent: the quote we give covers labor, sorting, hauling, recycling, and a basic sweep. No surprise fees, no per-item line items, no fuel surcharge.

Call (206) 722-4285 or text us a photo for a quick quote.

Time-Sensitive Cleanouts

On a Deadline? We Can Be On-Site in 48 Hours.

If you’re cleaning out for a sale, the listing agent has a date. If it’s for a refinance, a move-out, or a closing — so do you. We can usually have a crew at the property within 48 hours, same day if you call before 11 a.m., and most full-house jobs wrap in a single visit — even four-bedrooms with packed garages.

Text us a photo of any room and we’ll text you back a number. Out of state? FaceTime works for the walkthrough.

Why Our Prices Are Better

Same Job. Half the Trips. Cheaper Price.

Most junk removal companies show up with a trailer hitched to a pickup or a small 10-yard dump truck. Our fleet runs full-size 20-yard trucks with a 16×12-foot bed — 60% more room than the competition.

More capacity means your whole project fits in one load. No second trip charges, no "we'll have to come back tomorrow." You get the same work done for less.

Property Cleanout
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We’ve done houses with 18-inch paths between piles, garage attics packed to the rafters, and basements that haven’t been opened since 1994. We start with a free walkthrough — no judgment, no surprise pricing — and we work with social workers, family members, and adult children to plan the day in a way that respects everyone involved.

FaceTime walkthroughs work great. We do them every week with executors and adult children who can’t fly in. You unlock the door remotely (lockbox, neighbor, or listing agent), we send before/after photos and disposal documentation when we’re done, and you get the property listing-ready without leaving your house.

No. Tag what’s staying, point at what’s going, or just hand us the key and say “everything.” We’ll work whichever way is easiest for you. If you want us to set aside personal documents, photo albums, or specific items, just say the word and we’ll boxed them up for you.

Yes. We donate to charitable organizations like Second Spark. Furniture in good condition, working appliances, kitchenware, books, clothing — sorted on-site and dropped off, not dumped. You’ll see the donation list in our wrap-up notes.

We separate paint, automotive fluids, batteries, and household chemicals and route them to the proper disposal channels. No surprise fees. No risk of someone fishing them out of a curbside bin.

Most three-bedroom houses wrap in a single day — usually under six hours. Larger estates with packed garages, basements, sheds, or hoarding situations can run two days. We give you a firm time estimate during the walkthrough so the listing agent and the closing schedule both know what to plan around.

Pricing is based on volume, weight, and access — flat all-inclusive quotes, no fuel surcharges, no per-item fees on furniture or appliances. The minimum is $99. Everything beyond that is a free on-site (or FaceTime) estimate before we touch a thing — the number we give you is the number you pay.
