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.

    • Top notch. I called and spoke with a Guy named Sal. Very friendly and excellent Customer Service, 100%. I was set up in minutes. The pricing was great. Delivered it next day. When it was time for pick up I advised that I would be working and not able to hear the door so just knock hard. I went out on my Lunch break wondering what the heck? And the Dumpster was gone. Great service. Great Price. I called about 6 Dumpster Rental places and of all of them, A+ Was definitely the best and Props to Sal. Great Service. Truly is A+

      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.

    • Hard working guys got the job done in one day. I recently bought a foreclose property and have A+ Enterprises help do the clean up. Its a 3 bedroom house full of junk, and everything was gone at the end of the day. Image a house hoarders live in, 3 bedrooms, each with bed, dressers, night stand, TV and many other trash, you do not want to be in the room more than 1 minute. Kitchen full of dirty dishes, appliances and dining table with chairs. At the end of the day, whatever not bolted down was gone, including most of the nasty carpet. I will definitely use their service again. Great service and the hard working people.

    • Awesome company! My uncle passed away, and we were cleaning out his house. We had a lot of items to donate to the Salvation Army. I called the Salvation Army but they couldn’t pick up for a month. I called A Plus & they came two days later. The Two young men who came to pick up were polite, respectful & very efficient. The price was reasonable too. I will definitely use A Plus 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!

      Fast service, excellent price. Picked up on the same morning that we called. Will definately recommend and call again. Sal was very professional. Guys who showed up at our home were professional as well. We prefer to use local companies and this is one we expect to keep on our list.

    • 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.
