Estate Cleanout Services in Hamilton

Clearing out a home after a loved one has passed is one of the harder things a family goes through, and it usually comes with a deadline attached. Junk2Go handles estate clean outs across Hamilton with care, discretion, and efficiency. We take the physical work off your hands so you can focus on the parts only you can do.

When Families Call Us

-After the passing of a parent or relative, when the house has to be cleared before it can be sold or transferred
-When an executor needs a property emptied to close the estate
-When a parent moves into a retirement home or long-term care and the family home has to be downsized
-When a home is going on the market and the realtor needs it empty and clean
-When there’s no family nearby and someone has to handle it from out of town

If you’re the one who ended up responsible for this, you don’t have to do it alone.

We Watch for the Things That Matter

Important things turn up in estate cleanouts constantly — in coat pockets, taped under drawers, inside books, in the back of a closet. Before anything leaves the property we keep an eye out for:

-Cash, jewellery, coins, and collectibles
-Photographs, letters, and family records
-Wills, deeds, insurance policies, and financial documents
-Military medals and memorabilia
-Anything specific you’ve asked us to find

Give us a list before we start. If we find it, you get it.

How an Estate Clean Out Works

Tell us about the property.

Call or text 289-456-8076. Let us know the size of the home, roughly how full it is, and your timeline.

We look at it.

For a full-house cleanout we’ll come out and walk through it with you so the quote is accurate and we bring the right equipment.

You mark what stays.

Before we lift anything, you tell us what’s being kept, what’s going to family, and what’s going. Take your time with this part — it’s the step that matters most.

We clear everything else.

Furniture, appliances, clothing, boxes, garage, shed, basement, attic. All of it, carried out by our crew.

Usable items are donated.

 We’d much rather see a good couch go to a family that needs one than to a landfill. We donate, recycle, and repurpose whatever we can.

The property is left clean.

Broom-swept and ready for the realtor, the new owner, or the next chapter.

Estate Clean Out FAQ

What happens to items that are still in good condition?

We donate, recycle and repurpose whatever we can. Usable furniture, appliances and household goods are kept out of the landfill wherever possible. Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Mission Services of Hamilton, Salvation Army, Diabetes Canada, and St. Vincent de Paul are all places we use to donate items and furniture.

What if you find valuables or important documents?

We watch for them and set them aside for you. Cash, jewellery, photographs, deeds, wills, passports and financial records turn up in estate cleanouts constantly. Give us a list of anything specific you're hoping to find before we start.

Can you work with an executor or realtor if I'm out of town?

Yes. We regularly work with executors, estate lawyers, realtors and out-of-town family. We can quote from a walkthrough and photos, coordinate access, work to a firm closing date, and send you photos when the job is complete.

How long does a full estate clean out take?

Most full-house cleanouts are completed in one to three days depending on the size of the property and how much is in it. We'll confirm the timeline with you before we begin.

Do I need to be there while you work?

No. Plenty of our estate cleanouts are done with nobody on site. We just need access and a clear understanding of what stays and what goes, a walkthrough beforehand, a marked list, or coloured tape on the items being kept all work. We'll send photos when we're finished or a walkthrough afterwards.

How much does an estate clean out cost in Hamilton?

Every property is different, so we quote each one individually. The price comes down to how much volume is being removed, the size of the home, how many stairs are involved, and how accessible the driveway and doors are. Smaller partial cleanouts — a basement, a garage, one room — start around $199. A full-house cleanout is usually quoted after a walkthrough so the number you get is the number you pay. Quotes are free and there's no obligation.

Do you clean the property afterwards?

We leave the property clear and broom-swept, ready for a realtor, buyer or new tenant. For deep cleaning beyond that, we can arrange this as well if required. This would leave the property in a move-in condition. 

Is there anything you can't take?

We handle almost everything found in a home, including furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, clothing, paperwork and yard debris. There are a few items we can't put in a truck under Ontario regulations — things like propane tanks, wet paint, motor oil, solvents and other hazardous household waste. Ask us when you call and we'll tell you where those need to go.

What We Remove

Everything. Full house cleanouts, garage and shed clearing, basements, attics, crawlspaces, sheds, and yards.

Furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, clothing, dishes, books, tools, decades of paperwork, garden equipment, and the boxes nobody has opened since 1994. We bring the right size of equipment for the job, from a 6.5 ft pickup for a small load up to 12 to 40 yard bins for a full property.
