What Is a House Cleanout?
A house cleanout is the complete clearing of a residential property—not just removing a few items, but emptying entire rooms, floors, or the full home.
Unlike basic junk removal (which handles a few bulky items), a house cleanout involves clearing furniture, appliances, boxes, clothing, household goods, attic storage, basement clutter, and garage contents—all in one coordinated project.
House cleanouts are ideal for:
- Moving or relocating
- Downsizing to a smaller home
- Preparing a property for sale
- Clearing long-term accumulation
- Resetting a home after major life changes
If you're handling probate or working with an executor, visit our Estate Cleanout Services page. If you're dealing with severe accumulation, see our Hoarding Cleanout Services. For rental turnovers, visit our Apartment & Rental Cleanouts page. This page focuses specifically on complete residential house cleanouts.
House Cleanouts vs. Estate Cleanouts
A house cleanout typically involves clearing a home for moving, downsizing, or preparing for sale.
An estate cleanout is usually connected to probate, inherited property, or working with attorneys and executors after a loved one passes. If you're managing probate or legal estate matters, our Estate Cleanout Services page is the right fit. If you simply need a full home cleared efficiently and professionally, you're in the right place.
Common Reasons for House Cleanouts in Richmond
Richmond homeowners call us for complete house cleanouts during major transitions.
Moving or Relocating
Moving out of state? Downsizing from a large home to a smaller space? Instead of paying to move items you don't want, we remove them before moving day. Many Richmond real estate agents recommend clearing homes before listing—empty rooms photograph better and help buyers envision their own furniture.
Preparing a Home for Sale
Decluttered homes sell faster and often for higher prices. Buyers struggle to see potential when rooms are packed with old furniture and storage. We help sellers throughout Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield clear properties before staging or listing.
Downsizing
After 10, 20, or 30+ years in a home, belongings accumulate. Basements fill. Attics overflow. Garages become storage areas. A house cleanout helps you reset your space and keep only what truly matters.
Life Transitions
Divorce, relocation, or major life changes often require a fresh start. We handle the physical work so you can focus on what comes next.
Inherited Homes
If you've inherited a property and need it cleared before sale, we can handle the full home cleanout. For probate timelines or executor coordination, visit our Estate Cleanout Services page.
