Garage Clean-Outs

Get your garage back

For a lot of homes in our area, the garage becomes the place things go "for now," and then stay for years. Boxes from the last move, broken tools, old furniture, exercise equipment nobody uses and bags of things to donate someday. If you can't park in your garage anymore, you're not alone, and we can help you get it back.

How a garage clean-out works

You decide what stays and what goes. We do everything else. Many customers like to work alongside us for the first few minutes, pointing out what to keep, and then let the crew take it from there. Others mark the keep pile ahead of time with tape or move it to one side. Either way works.

Once you've decided, we load everything that's going, haul it away and sweep the floor so you can see what you're working with.

What we commonly haul from garages

• Old furniture, mattresses and rugs
• Boxes, bins and bags of clutter
• Broken tools, lawn equipment and bikes
• Exercise equipment, like treadmills, benches and weights
• Old shelving, cabinets and workbenches
• Appliances, such as spare fridges and freezers
• Renovation leftovers, like lumber, flooring and drywall scraps

What we can't take

Half-empty paint cans, old gas, weed killer and pool chemicals are common garage finds, but they're hazardous and can't ride in our trailer. Set them aside and we'll leave them where you want them. Local households can take them to the county's free Saturday drop-off on Burns Drive.

Tips before we arrive

• Make a keep pile. Move or mark anything you're keeping.
• Check boxes for important papers or photos before they go.
• Think about what's next. If you want shelves or storage afterward, it's easier to plan once the garage is empty.

How pricing works

What you pay depends on how much of the garage is going and how heavy it is. A few boxes and a broken treadmill cost far less than a floor-to-ceiling clear-out. Snap a picture from the driveway with the door open and we can usually quote a range on the spot. Most one- and two-car garages are done in an afternoon.

Turning the space into something useful

Once the floor is clear, a lot of customers finally do the project they've been putting off: a home gym, a workshop, a play area, or simply room to park out of the summer sun. It's much easier to plan shelving, cabinets or an epoxy floor when you can see the whole space. Start there, and the rest gets a lot simpler.

Moving, downsizing or selling?

Garage clean-outs are one of the most common jobs we do before a move or a home sale. A clear garage makes moving day easier and helps a home show better to buyers.
