Estate & Downsizing Cleanouts
One call clears the home — and anything worth selling gets sold for you, not hauled to the dump. Serving Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta & Carpinteria. Insured, 5-star rated, flat quote before any work starts.
How it works
Free walkthrough
In person or from photos. You get one flat quote in writing — labor, haul-away and disposal fees itemized, no hourly meter running.
Sort, pack, haul
Keepsakes are set aside first. The rest is sorted into sell, donate and dispose — then packed, loaded and hauled, rooms left broom-clean.
Sellables get sold
Furniture, electronics and household goods worth selling are listed and sold through our resale channels. You receive 50% of the net after selling fees and shipping, with an itemized statement.
What a cleanout costs
Sort & pack help
An extra pair of hands for sorting, packing and staging — family keeps control, we do the heavy work. 2-hour minimum.
Partial cleanout
A studio or 1-bedroom, a garage, or a few rooms. Most land between $360 and $700 depending on volume and haul-away.
Full-home cleanout
Whole-house clear-outs, broom-clean, ready for listing or handover. Final flat quote after the walkthrough — the price does not move mid-job.
Disposal and dump fees are passed through at cost and shown in the quote up front. Downsizing moves can combine cleanout days with packing and move-day help at the same flat $60/hr.
Or reach out directly — text or email photos of the home for a first estimate.

Cleanout questions
How does the resale split work?
Sellable furniture, electronics and household goods are photographed, listed and sold through our existing resale channels. You receive 50% of the net proceeds after selling fees and shipping, with an itemized statement — no extra work for the family. Items that do not sell within an agreed window are donated or disposed of, as you direct.
How fast can a home be cleared?
Most partial cleanouts are done in one visit. A full home usually takes one to three days depending on volume, and the schedule is set in writing in the flat quote before work starts — estate and listing deadlines are planned around, not discovered late.
What happens to items the family wants to keep?
Keepsakes are flagged first, before anything is moved. Marked items are set aside, packed separately and never enter the donation or resale stream.
What do you not take?
Hazardous materials — paint, chemicals, fuel, asbestos-suspect debris — cannot be hauled. Everything else, including large furniture and appliances, is fair game, and donation-worthy items go to local charities rather than the landfill when possible.
