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.

    • I got a 100% accurate estimate from the owner and he dispatched a crew to clean out my house the next day (!).

      I can't say enough about Sal. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to ensure my company was taken care of. I absolutely recommend anyone to use this company. They get in and out very quickly and offer a great price. They also stick to their word which is very rare now-a-days!

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! Added 3/1/2020: So 18 months later I had to clean out a 2nd floor apartment and 3rd floor attic. This attic was stuffed floor to ceiling with junk and the apartment full of furniture. Sal had a crew there within 24 hrs of my call and cleaned it out in ONE DAY! They even swept up and went through with garbage cans to completely clean the house. I value good service and A+ always delivers...I recommend them to my friends and family and have now used them 3 times. Each time the price is far less than I expected and the work is way better than I'd expect. If you have a job that you're afraid to deal with...call them!!!!! It is the best call you'll ever make! They have always come through for me. Thank you!!!!

    • I would highly recommend A+ Enterprises. Very professional staff. Fast response to my request for information. Sal is very friendly, answered all my questions and set a date for pick up, much faster than I had expected. Day of pick up was better than prompt. Joe called en-route to say he was a little ahead of schedule and could actually be at my house sooner. Great Job at a reasonable price. Would definitely refer family and friends. Thank your for A+ service!

      The 3 man crew did a fantastic job in clearing out and disposing of several large and small items that still remained after a 2 day estate sale. Items removed included beds and mattresses, 3 couches, bedroom chest of drawers, old refrigerator and electric stove, computer desk, old and very heavy television, several tools plus much more.Very courteous workers and owner was great to work with. Highly recommend and you won’t be disappointed.

      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.

      Very promote service. They came exactly on time for the appointment and I did not have to left a finger. I lost the invoice for the services and received a quick response and delivery for that as well. If you looking for reasonable priced service with a smile A+ is the way to go. Also to add I have used multiple junk companies and they by far are the best.

      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+!
