How Long Should a House Cleanout Take?

House Clean Out Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

When you have a house that needs to be cleaned out, there are many options to consider. There are many junk removal services that claim they can clean out entire homes, but few truly are capable of handling it.

Hiring a House Cleanout Service

Below is a checklist that every person should ask before hiring a house cleanout company:

  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • Do you have references?
  • How many trucks and employees do you have?
  • Are your employees properly insured?
  • What size are your trucks?
  • How quickly can you clean out a home?

As you can see, not all house cleanout services are equal. A common mistake customers make is shopping junk removal companies based solely on price. While comparing junk removal prices is important, evaluating a company’s capabilities and track record is infinitely more important.

House Cleanout Timeframe

Often-times when customers are ready to have a house cleaned out, they want it done as soon as possible. Most junk removal companies are able to have a crew out for an estimate within 24 hours of calling. After the estimate is completed, they will schedule you for the job if you accept their price estimate.

Most junk removal companies use either pickup trucks & trailers, or dump trucks to clean out junk. These junk haulers can haul approximately 15 cubic yards of debris in one load. The typical junk removal crew is 2-3 employees, but can vary based on the size of the project. Most junk removal companies claim they can clean out most houses in 1-2 days, but large cleanouts can take longer depending on the amount of items to be removed.

House Cleanout Estimate

When most junk removal companies give estimates for house cleanouts, they estimate the amount of loads your cleanout will be and give you a price per load. If the amount of loads goes over the estimate, the company will charge you for the overage. Ask if the house cleanout company gives “estimates” or true price quotes that will not change to avoid this problem.

      Kyle and Joe were wonderful! Very efficient process. I called and gave brief information to a very professional person. They came out the next day. Wiped their feet, quoted me a very fair price, and removed my furniture. I’m very pleased with their service and friendliness. I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends! Meredith R. They did such a good job yesterday that I called them back again today for more revival. They’re very fast, efficient, easy to work with and professional. Joe and Kyle came both days and we’re incredibly polite and thoughtful in what was a hard situation for me. Bravo A+ Enterprises! Repeat business speaks for itself. Meredith R.

    • Sal and his team were fantastic to work with. They were professional and arrived on time. Our scope of work was larger than originally estimated and they immediately dispatched an extra truck to finish up our job in record time. I would highly recommend them for all your removal needs.

    • Fantastic customer service. Sal was on time, very responsive to messages and professional. The price for the dumpster was very reasonable also. I have had issues with other junk removal companies in the past and wish I had found them sooner. I will definitely use them again in the future.

      Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended! I recently moved to Pennsylvania and purchased a fixer upper in Luzern County. I had a large pile of debris from the house that I needed to get rid of. I called A+ Junk Removal and spoke with Sal. He was extremely professional and very personable. He was able to work with my schedule which was greatly appreciated. Sal also contacted me through text to remind me of my scheduled appointment. Joe and Andrew showed up on time to give me an estimate for my junk pile. They gave me a great price and got right to work. Both Joe and Andrew were very polite and extremely professional. Very friendly as well. They did an amazing job! I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to come and do this job for me. I am extremely appreciative for Sal, Joe and Andrew. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again on the future. Thank you so much A+ Enterprises!
