What it looks like
What it costs
How this gets priced
Property cleanouts are priced by volume, and the honest thing to say is that they’re hard to quote from a single photo — a unit that looks half-full usually isn’t, and closets and cabinets rarely make it into the picture. For a single unit we’ll quote from photos with a stated range. For anything larger, or for a recurring relationship, a walkthrough gets you a firm number.
| Job | Priced by | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single apartment turnover | Volume | Quoted from photos with a range |
| Whole-house foreclosure | Walkthrough | Interior, garage, and exterior debris |
| Eviction cleanout | Volume | Documented with photos throughout |
| Recurring landlord work | Standing rate | Set up once instead of quoting every unit |
We don’t publish flat rates, because a hauler who quotes you a price before seeing the job is either padding it or planning to renegotiate in your driveway. Here’s exactly how we build a number ›
For property managers
How we keep you covered
Everything gets photographed. Before we touch anything, as we go, and after the unit is empty. If a former tenant later claims something of value was thrown out, you have a record. That’s the single most useful thing a hauler can give you on an eviction, and it costs nothing.
If there’s a legal hold on the contents — and in some jurisdictions there’s a required storage period after an eviction — tell us and we’ll work to whatever the order actually says. We aren’t lawyers and we won’t guess at it. Where a storage requirement applies, we can move the contents instead of dispose of them.
Billing goes to the company, not the tenant, and we invoice same-day. If you turn units regularly we set up a standing rate so you aren’t getting a fresh quote every time — you send an address and a lockbox code and we send back a day and a price.
And you don’t have to be there. Most of the turnovers we do, nobody from the management company ever meets us on site. Access, then photos and an invoice.
Squatters
The ones nobody warns you about
A squatter cleanout isn’t an eviction cleanout with a different name. The property has usually been occupied without power or water for weeks, which changes what’s in it and how it smells before you open the door.
Two things have to happen before we arrive. The property must be legally clear — police or sheriff involved, occupancy resolved, the paperwork done. And somebody has to have looked inside recently enough to know whether there are needles, human waste or standing water, because that’s a licensed remediation job and not ours.
Once it’s clear and clean enough to be a hauling job, we handle it like any other: photographed, cleared to bare floor, invoiced to you.
Scheduling and paperwork
A real date, and a photo record
It’s two of us running our own trailers, so we book jobs as they come in. We don’t keep a crew sitting around waiting on a lockout. Tell us your date and you’ll get a real one back instead of a promise we can’t keep. Book ahead and we’ll hold the day. Once we’re there, most single units are done inside a day.
You don’t need to be there. A lockbox code or a key left somewhere sensible is enough, and you get photos and an invoice when it’s done.
Every job comes back with a date-stamped photo set: each room before we touch it, each room after. That record exists because deposit disputes, insurance claims and court filings all tend to arrive months after the trailer has gone. If you need something specific in it — a meter reading, damage behind an appliance — say so when you book.
We work to whatever schedule your attorney or the sheriff has set. We don’t decide what counts as abandoned and we don’t remove anything before you tell us it’s clear to go. That call is yours, and the rules aren’t the same in Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Property Cleanouts questions
Before you book
Do you document the work?
Yes — before, during, and after photos on every property job, sent with the invoice. On an eviction that record is the most valuable thing we hand you.
Can you invoice the management company directly?
Yes, and we prefer to. For regular volume we’ll set up terms and a standing rate instead of quoting each unit cold.
What if there’s a legal hold on the contents?
Tell us and we work to the order. Some jurisdictions require a storage period after an eviction instead of immediate disposal. We can move and store contents instead of hauling them, but we need to know before the day — we won’t interpret the order for you.
Do I need to be there?
No. Give us access — a lockbox code, an unlocked garage, whatever works — and we’ll do the job and send you photos and an invoice the same day.
Is this the same as an eviction cleanout?
Overlapping but not identical. Overlapping enough that they share this page. Evictions, squatter properties, rental turnovers, foreclosures, REO and pre-listing work all get the same treatment: photographed, cleared to bare floor, invoiced to the company.
How fast can you clear an evicted unit?
We schedule jobs as they come in instead of keeping a crew standing by, so the honest answer is: tell us the date and we’ll give you a real one back. If you know a lockout date in advance, book it and we’ll hold the day. Once we’re on site, most single units are cleared inside a day.
Do you handle squatter properties?
Yes, once the property is legally clear and somebody has confirmed there are no needles, human waste or standing water. Those need a licensed remediation contractor first. We’ll say so before quoting instead of after.
Can you invoice the management company instead of take payment on the day?
Yes. That’s how most of this work runs. Invoice to the company when the job is done, and net terms once we have done a few jobs for you.
Do you clean as well as clear?
We clear to bare floor and sweep. We aren’t a cleaning company — if the unit needs carpets shampooed or a bathroom scrubbed before a showing, that’s a different trade and we can tell you who we’d call.
Several units in the same week — is that cheaper?
Yes, meaningfully. Tell us up front and we’ll block the days instead of fitting them in one at a time. Repeat accounts get a better rate than one-off jobs.
