Define what leaves
List approved contents by room or area. Mark kept belongings and undecided items separately. Standing decks, fences, sheds and installed materials need their own assessment alongside loose contents.

Portland metro · Property cleanouts & removal planning
Make a plan for the whole removal project.
Start with the space you need back and the deadline you are working toward. We review what leaves, what stays, access and a useful order of work—from a staged house cleanout to a shed or outdoor removal before replacement. The onsite removal estimate is free. Broader coordination and outside services have separate scopes and prices.
Free onsite removal estimates. Broader coordination and outside services are scoped and priced separately.
For broader property planning, scheduling and company coordination, explore Miller Estate Solutions. Agree on the management scope and price separately from removal.
More than a pickup
Choose the result before choosing the pickup.
A house ready for cleaners, a garage bay you can use or an old fence out of the replacement crew’s way: each needs a different finish. List the rooms, outbuildings and outdoor areas involved. For properties around Canby, Aurora, Woodburn and Wilsonville, include separate buildings, gate access and the route from each area to truck parking.
Choose a useful first phase
Tell us your priorities and budget before work starts. Ask for a defined phase that creates usable space, with its complete scope and price. Later visits require their own timing and approval; dividing a job does not guarantee a lower total.
Prepare the next handoff
Ask the cleaner or replacement contractor what must be ready. Agree on the items, bases or supports left in place, practical cleanup and who checks completion. Cleaning, repairs and outside work are scoped separately.
Walk the complete project
Show included rooms, storage and outdoor areas from safe positions. Name the authorized contact and the result you need.
Separate the decisions
Record approved removal, retained and undecided items. Identify utilities, unfamiliar materials, heavy equipment and attached structures for assessment.
Set priorities and dependencies
Choose what needs to happen first. Record the budget, access restrictions and readiness dates for cleaners, deliveries or contractors.
Approve each phase
Confirm the complete price, included work, exclusions and schedule before work begins. A walkthrough or arrival window does not set the project’s completion time.
Check the handoff
Compare the finished area with the agreed scope. Discuss changed conditions before adding work, and confirm the next phase separately.
The people. The work. The result.
A clear boundary makes a better handoff.
In this real shed project, the old wooden structure was removed and the neighboring shed remained. Your own plan should be equally specific about what leaves, what stays and the condition the next person needs.

Agree on the whole scope.
The free onsite estimate covers our proposed removal work. Any broader coordination, third-party services or additional project work is scoped and priced separately. Licensed trades, permits and specialist services remain the responsibility of the appropriately qualified provider.
Before we get started
A few useful answers.
Can you help when there is more than junk removal involved?
Yes. Describe the whole situation. We can discuss the sequence and handoffs around our removal work, and whether a broader coordination scope is practical. Outside services and fees need separate agreement.
Can you coordinate with a realtor or an out-of-town family member?
We can discuss a designated contact, clear approval steps and updates for the removal project. Confirm property access and who has authority to approve work before scheduling.
Do you provide cleaning, repairs and staging yourselves?
Our cleaners can come in after the cleanout when you include follow-up cleaning in the plan. Cleaning is scoped and priced separately. Repairs and staging need their own arrangements; confirm the provider, scope and charges before committing.
Can you help decide what to keep, donate or remove?
We can help organize the removal plan around your decisions. You approve what leaves. Donation depends on item condition and acceptance; no resale value or donation placement is guaranteed.
Is the planning service included in the pickup price?
Planning needed for the approved removal is discussed with that quote. Ongoing project coordination or outside work must be separately agreed. There is no automatic monthly contract.
Can we start with one phase because of the budget?
Yes. Typical garage cleanouts range from $325–$700, and property cleanouts typically range from $700–$1,325, depending on size and volume. Larger projects, multiple loads or special handling can cost more; coordination, cleaning and demolition are scoped separately. Ask us to review a defined first phase that meets a useful goal. Approve that phase’s included items, price and finish before work starts. Separate visits can add travel and setup, so staged work is not automatically cheaper than one agreed project.
Can removal be planned around a replacement deck, fence or shed?
Yes. Show the standing structure, contents, supports, attachments and access. Agree with the replacement contractor on what must remain or be removed. Dismantling, posts, footings, slabs, utility preparation and site repairs need specific review rather than being assumed part of ordinary hauling.
Does a walkthrough request reserve the removal work?
No. We confirm the walkthrough with you, then review scope, price, preparation and work dates. The worksheet does not send a request; copy your notes before leaving the page. Larger or phased work needs a completion plan agreed separately from an arrival window.
