- Cleaning of rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and floors after the contents are gone
- Photos or video walkthroughs for family members who live far away
- Sorting of belongings into keep, donate, sell and dispose piles with the family

Estate Cleanout Frequently Asked Questions in Lone Mountain, San Francisco, CA
What not to do after a parent dies?
Do not rush to clear the house, and do not throw anything away before checking for papers, valuables and keepsakes. Do not make large decisions in the first days. Ask for help, and ask an attorney before disposing of anything with legal weight.
What happens to the items that are not kept?
They are sorted into donate, recycle and dispose. Usable items can often be donated, and the rest is hauled away. Hazardous items such as chemicals and old medicines are handled safely. Ask the team how each category is handled.
Can a cleanout be done while the family lives far away?
Yes. Many families work from photos, video calls and phone decisions. Ask the team about keys, access and one point of contact. A relative or a friend nearby can meet the crew if you prefer.
How much does an estate cleanout cost?
It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings, stairs and access, and whether biohazard cleanup is needed. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Ask what the range includes.
Can the house be sold after a cleanout?
Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.
Who decides what is kept and what is removed?
The family or the person handling the estate decides. The team follows those directions and should confirm them with one point of contact. For legal questions about authority over a home and its contents, ask an attorney.
