How Long Should a House Cleanout Take?

House Cleanout Service
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.

      EXTREMELY PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL! Gave them a call to remove some old furniture and assorted boxes of junk. They said the had a crew in my area the next morning and could be here at 9am. Arrived right at 9 on the dot and got straight to work. They battled through all my cobwebs and work quick and efficiently. No trouble or damage from moving some big items in narrow areas. The price they quoted was great value for all the work they did. I have already and will continue to HIGHLY recommend them.

    • 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.

      These guys are awesome! They came here when promised, were really nice and friendly, and they did what they were supposed to do in a timely fashion. The price quoted was changed because I had more “stuff” to get rid of. However, they quoted the difference before getting the rest of the things out and we agreed. I will certainly call them next time. Thanks, A+!

      This company is not just professionals at their work but also very kid and hardworking. During the scheduling the staff was very helpful and were able to work with my last minute call with no issues. I received a reminder of my appointment witch was very helpful. The team that arrived to the job took care of business before I knew it it was all done. Very respectful and hard working team. Will definitely recommend anyone and will definitely use this company on my next project.

      I got a 100% accurate estimate from the owner and he dispatched a crew to clean out my house the next day (!). The guys were professional and very nice and personable, making a tough situation much easier to handle. Moreover, they worked until the job was done way over my expectations. This company has the best prices in our area and they are complete pros. I would recommend them to anyone...don't hesitate and call A+ first! They will be my first call in the future!
