What we do
An estate cleanout usually happens at a hard time. There's a house full of a lifetime of belongings, decisions about what to keep, and often a court process and a sale date in the background.
We work at the family's pace. We clear out what's going, set aside anything you've asked us to keep, and haul the rest away. Then we deep clean the home, which often hasn't had a thorough cleaning in years, so it's ready to list, transfer or hand over.
We work with families, executors, estate attorneys, real estate agents and property managers, and we're happy to coordinate with whoever is handling the estate.

What estate and probate cleaning includes
Whole-home or partial clean-outs
From a single packed room to every floor, basement and garage included.

How the job runs
We meet at the property, or talk it through by phone if family members live out of state. We agree on what stays, what goes and the date that matters, whether that's a court deadline, a listing or a closing.
Talk it through
On site or by phone, we agree what stays, what goes and the date that matters.
Clear with care
Room by room, setting aside what the family wants kept.
Clean and hand over
A full clean at the end, with the executor or family updated throughout.
Working with executors and attorneys
Estates often involve several people: siblings in different states, the executor, the attorney and later a listing agent. We work with whoever is the decision-maker and keep the others informed if that's what the family wants.
If a court date or a closing is driving the timeline, tell us at the start. We'll plan the clean-out and the clean so the property is ready when the estate is ready to sell.

Estate cleanouts in Fairfield and Westchester
Connecticut estates go through the state's probate courts, and a sale often has to wait for the court's go-ahead. That can leave a house sitting for months. A clean-out and clean once the timing is clear means the home is ready the moment it can be listed.
An estate home has often been in one family for decades, with a full basement and an attic to match. We budget time for those spaces so the schedule holds.
In New York, estates go through the Surrogate's Court in each county, and Westchester's sits in White Plains. Executors there often wait on the court too, so the same plan works: walk the house early, then clear and clean it once the executor can act.
