Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.
How much does an estate cleanout cost?
It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings, stairs and access, and whether biohazard cleanup is needed. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Ask what the range includes.
What should I ask an estate cleanout company before hiring?
Ask how it protects papers and valuables, how it deals with hazards and where items go. Ask what the price includes, whether it can start with a photo walkthrough and what happens if the work runs long.
Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?
