Whether you own a home or rent an apartment, at some point you will need to dispose of items you no longer want. There are many options to consider – renting a dumpster, donating items, hiring a house cleanout service, or doing everything yourself. There are pros and cons to each of those options, whether it is time saving or money saving.
Regardless of the type of home lived in, we all use basically the same furniture, the same kitchen and laundry appliances, have full wardrobes of clothes, and own various electronic, utility, entertainment, storage, sentimental and décor items. So what steps and challenges might be involved when cleaning out your living space, and an apartment in particular?
Reasons for Cleaning out a House:
- Moving to a new home. You need to dispose of old furniture & possessions to make room for new items.
- You are downsizing & remodeling. When remodeling their home, many people choose that time to upgrade their furniture & appliances.
- A family member or loved one has a hoarding problem, and you are involved with helping them dispose of items that are unnecessary.
- A loved one has passed away and it is time to clear out their home to prepare for sale.
You Are Moving
When moving into a new home or apartment, many people often-times need to dispose of old items, furniture, and appliances because they will be purchasing new ones for their new home.
There are many options for getting rid of old items from your home due to you moving. Renting a dumpster is the most common option, but requires space to leave a dumpster and requires the customer to do all the work.
Dumpster rental costs average between $350-$800 depending on size and what it is loaded with. Another option is donating items to services such as Goodwill or The Salvation Army.
Donation services are very picky in the items they accept, and are often booked out for weeks. The most popular & time saving option is hiring a junk removal service such as A+ Enterprises Junk Removal.
Most people are on a short timeline when moving, and need their items removed ASAP. A+ Enterprises Junk Removal same-day house cleanout service, and is 20% less expensive than large national franchises.
Downsizing or Remodeling
When downsizing or remodeling, people often-times have appliances & construction debris to be disposed of. While we previously went over the pros & cons of alternative options, hiring a junk removal service can be one of the best options.
If you have an entire home to clear out, the amount of time & effort it would take a single person would be substantial. Hiring a house cleanout service will allow you to remove all the items you would like gone in less than a single day – all at a great price!
Hoarding
Hoarding is a condition that affects millions of people across the United States. If you have a family member or loved one that has a home or apartment full of items that were hoarded, you know how daunting of a task it is to clean out their residence.
To clean out a hoarders home yourself will require taking over a week off from work, renting & scheduling dumpsters, and a lot of hard work. A+ Enterprises Junk Removal specializes in hoarding cleanout services, and has completed hundreds of hoarding cleanup projects. Most hoarding cleanout projects can be completed in less than a single day.
Estate Cleanout
When a loved one passes, it is a very difficult time emotionally, especially considering funerals, estate planning, etc. One of the last things the family members want to deal with is cleaning up the loved one’s home of the items & furniture they collected over the years.
When calling a house cleanout service, it is important to ensure that they have the capability of cleaning out the home quickly, safely, and efficiently.
Screening House Cleanout Services
After reading the reasons to hire a house cleanout service, now it is time to call and hire one! Unfortunately, not all house cleanout companies are the same. Below are some questions to ask a junk removal service:

Incredibly professional and responsive to all of my questions. Each time I called I spoke directly with sal. No need to leave a voicemail and wait for a call back. Sal, Shawn and Mackenzie have been amazing to work with. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for dumpster rentals.

May 17, 2020Awesome 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.

Contacted Sal to have some old boxes removed, called me the next day to set up a time to estimate the work. Came first thing the next morning and gave me a great quote. We agreed on a wonderful price and literally 15 minutes later he was here with his truck cleaning out our boxes. He was done quickly and efficiently! Very nice man, We will be contacting him again in the near future! My family and I highly recommend!

October 17, 2020Very 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.

August 21, 2020I 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! 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!!!!
