Estate Cleanouts Across Connecticut

Four different people call us about estates, and each one needs something different. Find yourself below.

If You Are The Son Or Daughter

You are grieving and you have a deadline, which is an unfair combination.

The part that matters to you is what we set aside. Photographs, letters, jewelry, medals, documents, anything with a person attached to it goes into a box for the family. Always, without being asked. We have handed back wedding rings found in a coffee tin and deeds found under a mattress.

Many of you are driving in from New York, Boston or Florida with four days off. We can work with you standing there, or work while you are home and photograph anything questionable before it moves.

If You Are The Executor Or Attorney

Give us the date. We will tell you plainly whether it is reachable rather than agreeing and disappointing you later.

You get itemized documentation for the estate file as standard, including donation values and photographs. If probate is contested or heirs disagree, tell us at the start and we will hold everything questionable rather than making judgment calls that end up in a hearing.

If You Are The Landlord Or Property Manager

An occupied-looking unit earns nothing. We empty properties across Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford and the smaller towns, then leave them broom-clean or fully cleaned for re-listing. Most take a single day.

Connecticut has real rules about a former tenant’s abandoned property. Tell us the situation and we will work to whatever your attorney advises rather than guessing.

If You Are The Realtor

You need it empty, clean and photographable by a date. That is a straightforward job for us and we do a lot of them.

One caution worth raising with your seller: if the house has real antiques in it, get an appraiser through before we start. Connecticut houses hold genuine value in furniture, tools, books and silver, and once something is in a truck the conversation is over.

Two Things That Come Up Here A Lot

Houses held by one family for generations. The attic is not clutter to them, it is a record. We slow down in those and set aside anything that might carry weight.

Houses that sat through a winter. Expect odor, pests or burst pipes. We handle all three. See hoarding cleanup and biohazard cleaning.
