Alex and his crew worked their magic and really came through for us. I have a friend recovering from a some health concerns and was not going to be able to return home in the condition it was in. They worked with our budget, and were prompt, friendly and professional. They certainly went above and beyond. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. BIG THANKS to Alex!Posted on Google![]()

Junk Father was one of three places I contacted. They were by far the best priced and easiest to work with. They ask what items were being moved and gave me a quote based on that. Other companies wanted pictures and more details. Alex was great communication and very very fast and moving the things out. I would definitely recommend Alex and his team to anyone who needs furniture or items removed.Posted on Google![]()

Choose the cleanout that fits your property
These pages explain the different jobs we handle. Start with the situation that sounds closest to yours. Have a little of everything? You don’t need to fit the job into a perfect category before calling.
Hoarding cleanouts
For properties with substantial accumulated belongings and a more involved sorting and removal plan. We work from your priorities and authorization. You’re in charge of what stays; we’re here to help with what goes.
Estate cleanouts
Help clearing a family property after a loss, during a move or before a sale. Tell us which belongings are being kept and which may be removed. We handle the agreed lifting and haul-away while you retain control of the decisions.
Rental property cleanouts
For landlords and property managers dealing with furniture, bags and unwanted contents left in a rental. Coordinate the authorized removal with your turnover plans so the next steps can get moving.
Garage cleanouts
A garage should offer more than a place to set the next box. Clear selected furniture, project leftovers or a larger pile of unwanted contents, with any sorting help discussed before we start.
Basement cleanouts
From a few bulky pieces to a room full of stored belongings, we handle the removal from downstairs. Need help getting the keepers onto shelves? Tell us so that work can be included in your plan and quote.
Storage unit cleanouts
Ready to stop storing things you no longer need? We can remove selected contents or clear the unit. Let us know what stays, what goes and the facility’s access arrangements, and we’ll plan the loading and haul-away.
Moving out or clearing unwanted items before the movers arrive? Our move-out cleanout service covers a few remaining pieces or a larger pickup, with deadlines and the removal list agreed in advance.
Preparing a property for listing photos, showings, or handover? See our realtor and pre-listing cleanouts for removal coordinated with the owner or authorized representative.
Reducing belongings rather than emptying the property? Our downsizing and senior cleanouts cover selected furniture, keep-and-remove decisions, and sorting help agreed in the quote.
Just a couch, a few boxes or a mixed pickup? Our general junk removal service covers smaller jobs too. For offices, shops and other business spaces, explore commercial junk removal.
A REAL BASEMENT CLEANOUT
The belongings needed a home of their own.
The homeowner had just built his dream home, but the basement wasn’t working yet. Boxes and belongings had piled up, with unwanted debris making it hard to walk through.
He didn’t need everything thrown away. He needed help organizing what he wanted to keep. Our crew stocked the new shelves with his belongings and hauled away the unwanted debris, turning a crowded room into more usable storage.
A successful cleanout isn’t always an empty room. It’s a room that works for you again.
BEFORE ORGANIZING

Boxes, bins and household belongings crowded the basement before the cleanout.
AFTER ORGANIZING & HAUL-AWAY

The belongings he kept are organized on the new shelves; the unwanted debris was hauled away.
A clear plan before the first load
01 / Show us the job
Send photos of what needs removing, your city or ZIP code and your preferred date. Mention what you’re keeping and any sorting help you need.
02 / Approve the plan
We confirm what stays, what leaves, the work involved and a workable schedule. You approve the price before we start. No guessing what the offer includes.
03 / Leave the lifting to us
Our crew handles the agreed sorting, removal, loading and haul-away. You don’t need to move everything outside or assemble a hauling crew of your own.
How much does a property cleanout cost?
Upfront pricing. No hidden fees. A garage corner and a house full of belongings are different jobs. Your quote reflects the amount and type of material, heavy items, sorting or dismantling, labor, disposal and any difficult conditions affecting the work.
Photos help us start an estimate; some properties need an in-person look before we confirm the total. You’ll know what’s included and approve the price before work begins. Extra paid work is discussed and approved before it is added.
Before the crew arrives
Confirm what may be removed and who can authorize the work. Set aside documents and valuables when practical, and let us know about chemicals, pests, water damage or unsafe areas before scheduling.
Connected equipment may need specialist preparation before removal. The JunkFather does not perform electrical work. Any required electrical disconnection must be completed by an appropriate qualified professional before removal.
Property cleanout questions, answered
Both. We can remove selected contents, clear one room or plan a larger house or property cleanout. Tell us what stays and what goes. You don’t have to empty every room to make useful progress.
Yes. Sorting and help placing kept belongings onto shelves can be included in a cleanout when discussed and quoted in advance. The basement project above is one example. This is agreed help with your cleanout, not an unlimited organizing service.
No. Our crew handles the lifting and loading from the area being cleared. Mention loose items and any sorting or bagging help when requesting your quote so the work is included. Set aside important belongings when practical; you don’t need to do the heavy lifting first.
Yes. Let us know who is arranging the cleanout and who has authority to approve removal. We’ll confirm what may be taken and how access will be arranged. Family-property projects may suit our estate cleanout service; landlords can start with rental property cleanouts.
Tell us your deadline when you call or send photos. We’ll check availability and the amount of work before confirming a schedule. Working to a tight deadline? Put that up front so we can discuss the earliest workable appointment.
Not automatically. A cleanout covers the agreed contents removal, hauling and sorting help, not professional deep cleaning, mold remediation or repairs. We also offer light demolition for suitable separate projects; any dismantling or additional paid work must be included in the approved quote.
