Thanks, Serge, for the quick, professional, and reasonably priced service. Will use you again - highly recommend!
Overview
The house has been in the family since 1978 and every closet proves it. Or the tenant left on the first and took the TV but not the couch, the mattress or the forty bags in the garage. Either way there is a date: escrow, a new tenant, a probate hearing, a lender.
We clear whole properties: lifting, loading, hauling, charity drop-offs, disposal and a final sweep, so the house is ready for the photographer, the painter or the new keys. Same-day or next-day when the date is close. Small loads start at $99; most cleanouts run a half truck to two full trucks.
(We respond fast: usually within minutes)

When a Property Feels Too Big to Handle, We Step In
Nobody searches for house cleanout services on a good day. It is the inherited home nobody has walked through in a year, the tenant move-out with every room still furnished, or the foreclosure deadline the bank set without asking.
The hard part is not the heavy furniture or the old appliances. It is the volume. A three-bedroom house holds two or three truckloads of belongings, and every one of them has to be lifted, carried and sorted before the property can move on.
For a garage or a few bulky items, residential junk removal is the better fit and the cheaper one.
House Cleanout Services We Handle
Seven kinds of cleanout we do every month. They look alike from the driveway and are different once you are inside.
Estate Cleanouts
Estate cleanouts come with a probate timeline and a family that is still grieving. We walk the house with you first, set aside the photo albums, documents and anything you flag, and only then start loading. If you are out of town, we send photos as the rooms empty.
Eviction Cleanouts
Every day a unit sits full is a day of lost rent. California Civil Code 1983 to 1991 sets the notice period: 15 days if served in person, 18 if mailed. Once it has run, we remove the leftover furniture, trash and bulk debris so repairs and showings can start. We do not touch anything before that date.
Rental Turnover Cleanouts
The turnover clock starts when the keys come back. We clear rental properties in one visit, furniture, trash, appliances and leftovers, so the cleaners, painters and maintenance crew can start the next morning. Property managers who use us regularly text photos and skip the walkthrough.
Pre-Sale Property Cleanouts
A buyer cannot see the hardwood under the boxes. We clear homes before the listing photos so the pictures show rooms, not clutter. Realtors book us between the seller’s move-out and the photographer, often with two days to spare.
Foreclosure Cleanouts
Foreclosed homes are rarely just an indoor job. The garage, the shed and the yard usually hold as much as the house. We clear all of it for investors, banks and realtors so inspections and contractors can get in, and we can do it without you on site.
Hoarder Cleanouts
These take patience and privacy, not judgment. We work room by room, set aside anything personal or valuable for you to check, and bring the truck back as many times as it takes. The goal is a safe, walkable house, not a lecture.
Downsizing and Senior Move Cleanouts
Going from a four-bedroom house to a two-bedroom apartment means about half of everything has to go somewhere. We haul what is not moving, drop usable furniture at a charity when it qualifies, and leave the rooms swept so the move itself is lighter.
Clearing a loved one’s home? Our estate cleanout service page covers probate timing, cost and what to set aside first, with guides for families and executors.
What We Remove During House Cleanouts
A house cleanout is not a few large items. It is a few large items plus everything else: the kitchen drawers, the closets, the garage shelves and the shed. Over a full house that adds up to two or three truckloads, sorted as we go.
We commonly remove:
- Couches, sectionals, recliners and the mattress from every bedroom
- Refrigerators, washers, dryers and the second freezer in the garage
- Dressers, dining sets, shelving and the piano nobody wants
- Clothing, boxed storage and decades of paperwork
- Garage overflow: tools, bikes, shelving and the lawn mower that stopped starting
- Yard debris, patio furniture and whatever is in the shed
- Old TVs, computers and broken electronics
- Tenant move-out leftovers and abandoned belongings
- Cabinets and fixtures left from a half-finished remodel
- Basement, attic and spare-room contents, down the stairs and out
How Our House Cleanout Process Works
A full property, a tight timeline and too many decisions. The process should take work off your plate, not add truck rentals and dump runs to it. Four steps:
- 01
Photos or a walkthrough
Text photos of the rooms to (916) 770-7619 and we estimate from volume, access and labor. For an estate, foreclosure, hoarder or full-home job we usually walk the property first, which gets you one firm number and lets you point out what stays.
- 02
We lift, carry and load
You do not move or sort anything. We set aside whatever you flagged, then clear room by room: furniture, boxes, appliances, garage, storage, down the stairs and into the truck.
- 03
Donation and recycling, when it qualifies
Clean, working furniture goes to a Sacramento-area charity when we can. Metal and appliances go to scrap recyclers. Charities refuse stained, broken or pet-damaged pieces, so on an older property most of the load still goes to the transfer station.
- 04
Final sweep
When the last load is on the truck we sweep every room and the garage. Contractors can start the next morning, the realtor can shoot photos, and the family can hand over the keys.
What Families & Property Managers Say After a Cleanout
Cleanouts come with deadlines, property access and a lot of trust: you are handing us the keys to a full house. The reasons people give for calling us read better in their own words. From Google and Yelp, unedited.
“We were moving out of our home and had a ton of leftover stuff to haul away. Serge was very professional and responsive, showed up on time, and did a fantastic job cleaning everything. We would definitely recommend him to others.”
Da Ar, Google“I had a truck load (literally) of trash after cleaning out a rental and was looking for a quick turnaround. I texted pictures to Serge, he responded quickly, gave an accurate estimate and was flexible with his availability.”
Will Gay III, Google“Serge was very helpful during a stressful situation of clearing out a family member’s home. He got the job done quickly and efficiently. The pricing is very fair and the best out there.”
Ashley Weltz, Google“Needed a quick removal of leftover estate-sale items and these folks were there within 2–3 hours and hauled away the items we requested! Quick & easy process.”
Megan Spencer, GoogleOut of state? Many of our estate and vacant-rental clients never see the job. We work from a lockbox or gate code, send photos before and after, and you can pay without being there.
When Full-Service Cleanouts Make More Sense Than City Pickup
City of Sacramento residents with city trash service get free appointment-based bulky pickups, a few items at a time. For one couch, use it. A full house is a different problem: a three-bedroom home holds two or three truckloads, the city takes a handful of items per appointment, and inherited homes, rental turnovers, foreclosures and estate cleanouts all come with a date.
A full-service cleanout makes more sense when:
- the property has to be empty by a date, not eventually
- heavy furniture and appliances are upstairs or in a basement
- the garage, shed and storage rooms are packed too
- the job runs to more than one truckload
- you are managing it from another city
- you do not want to sort, lift or make dump runs
House Cleanout Pricing in Sacramento
The first question is always how much a house cleanout costs. The honest answer is that it depends on truckloads, and we can usually tell from photos:
| Load | Typical price | What that looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Half truck | $320 to $480 | A lightly furnished one-bedroom, or a garage |
| Full truck | $850 to $1,000 | A furnished two-bedroom, or a three-bedroom with little in the garage |
| Two or more trucks | Quoted as one project | A full three-bedroom with a packed garage, or a hoarder-level house |
The number is confirmed before we start, and it does not change after the truck is loaded.
What Affects Pricing
Volume first. Then weight: the transfer station charges by the ton, so a garage of tile and concrete costs more to dump than a garage of boxes. Then access and labor: stairs, long carries, a basement, a house we have to dig through. We tell you which of these applies when we quote.
What Your Quote Includes
Lifting, loading, hauling, dump and recycling fees, donation drop-offs when items qualify, and the final sweep. No separate labor charge, no fuel surcharge, no dump fee added later, and no tip expected. Book online and we take $20 off.
Fastest Way to Get a Quote
Text photos of each room, the garage and the yard. We can usually quote a cleanout from photos the same day. For estates and foreclosures we come and walk the property, which also lets you point out what stays.

Very Prosfessional and accommodating will definitely call them again and tell my friends and family to do the same. Thank you TCJ Hauling!
Frequently Asked Questions About House Cleanouts
Do I have to be on-site?
No. Many of our estate and vacant-rental clients are in another city or state. Give us a lockbox or gate code, tell us what stays, and we send photos before and after.
How fast can you start?
Usually within a day or two, and the same day when the schedule allows. Move-outs, turnovers and foreclosure deadlines get priority. Text photos to (916) 770-7619 to get on the calendar.
Can You Handle Multiple Truckloads?
Yes. A full three-bedroom house with a garage is usually two to three loads. Multi-load cleanouts are quoted as one project with one price, not load by load.
Are Cleanouts Handled Discreetly?
Yes. We work from the inside out, set aside anything personal or valuable for you to check, and keep the details between you and the crew.
Do You Donate or Recycle Items?
Metal and appliances go to scrap recyclers. Clean, working furniture goes to a Sacramento-area charity when we can. We do not promise to sort every item for donation: on an older property most of it is not resellable, and charities turn away stained, torn or broken pieces. What we can divert, we do.
Can You Work With Realtors or Probate Attorneys?
Yes. Realtors book us between the move-out and the listing photos. Probate attorneys and executors use us once the estate can be cleared. Property managers send photos and skip the walkthrough.
