Organize the scope by room

Photograph bedrooms, living areas, basement, attic, garage, and yard separately. Note whether the cleanout covers everything or only selected groups.

For an estate, protect documents, valuables, keepsakes, and items reserved for family before marking the removal pile.

  • Room or area name
  • What stays
  • What goes
  • Heavy or unusual items

Confirm driveway and property access

Tell us whether the truck can enter the driveway and whether gates, low branches, parked vehicles, or landscaping affect the route. Show basement or attic stairs and any narrow doors.

A short driveway carry can differ significantly from moving items from a rear yard or lower level.

  • Driveway availability
  • Closest safe entrance
  • Stairs and doors
  • Garage or yard route

Work backward from the property deadline

Moves, sales, and closings create firm dates. Leave time for family decisions, donation attempts, and a second phase if the property is large.

Share the ZIP code and final deadline in the first request so route and capacity can be reviewed together.
