Use the questions below to prepare for a walkthrough and identify anything that needs separate handling.
What should be removed before the crew arrives?
Secure documents, medication, keys, cash, jewelry, firearms, personal photographs, and anything the family wants to keep. Mark uncertain items for review.
How is an estate cleanout estimated?
Volume, access, stairs, carrying distance, large-item handling, number of loads, and the material mix shape the estimate. A walkthrough provides the clearest scope.
Do you handle estate sales or appraisals?
The published service is cleanout, loading, and hauling. Estate sales and formal appraisals are separate professional services.
What about paint and chemicals?
Identify them before the job. Olmsted County directs residents to its Household Hazardous Waste Facility for many household hazardous materials; ordinary loads should not hide excluded items.
