What to know before we come out
Keep family decisions separate from the hauling schedule
Create protected areas for records, keepsakes and belongings reserved for relatives. Set collection deadlines before those rooms are approved for removal. When several people are involved, name the person who can approve the final scope and price. A remote family contact can coordinate decisions, but unresolved belongings remain outside the hauling list. Staged work can fit rooms that become ready at different times.
Access for your West Linn pickup
Identify stairs, lower-level storage, driveway grade and narrow entries at the West Linn property. Mark rooms still under family review and explain any entry restrictions. Agree on who provides access and how the authorized contact will approve changes so the crew can inspect all included areas before pricing the project.
Protect decisions, documents and keepsakes
Have one authorized contact approve the removal list. Set aside documents, jewelry, medications, photographs and belongings reserved for family or buyers. Include every room and storage area in the walkthrough. Sorting, sale coordination, detailed cleaning and repairs require their own agreed scope.
Plan the next step
Share the cleaning, listing-photo or sale-handoff dates alongside family collection plans. Request completion photos in advance if relatives are coordinating remotely. Decide on the priority rooms and protect anything still undecided. A multi-load estate receives an agreed schedule after scope review; the walkthrough window alone does not determine how long the whole property takes.
Your free estimate and complete price
An estate quote covers the complete approved project, which may require several loads or visits. Household-junk truck-space references are $325 for a quarter load, $575 for a half load and $995 for a full load within material and weight limits. Access, labor and special disposal can affect the total. The walkthrough estimate is free; approve the price and work schedule before removal.
