Estate Cleanout & Probate Property Care in St. Louis
A difficult season, handled with care and a clear timeline.
Settling a loved one's estate is hard enough without also coordinating a full property clearance. Our crews handle estate cleanouts, sorting and donation coordination, and full clearance work across St. Louis — whether you're local and overwhelmed, or managing everything from out of state. Transparent hourly pricing, $2M liability coverage, and the option to leave the property market-ready when we're done.
Estate Property Care, Start to Finish
Every estate is different, but the goal is the same: a property that's cleared, cared for, and ready for its next step — without adding to an already heavy load.
Full Property Clearance
Respectful, systematic clear-outs of an entire home — every room, closet, garage, basement, and attic, at a pace that respects what the family needs to review first.
Sorting & Donation Coordination
We sort into keep, donate, and haul-away categories as we go, and can coordinate donation drop-off or pickup for usable furniture and household goods.
Deep Cleaning After Clearance
Once the property is cleared, our Certified Cleaning Specialists can detail every room to an inspection-ready baseline before a showing or handover.
Market-Ready Property Prep
Cleanout, deep clean, and — where needed — exterior washing and window cleaning, coordinated as one project so the property is ready for photos on schedule.
Out-of-State Executor Support
Photo and video walkthroughs before we start, a clearly agreed scope by phone or email, and a final walkthrough sent after completion — manage the whole process without traveling in.
Estate Sale Coordination
Working alongside estate sale companies on timing, so the sale happens before final clearance and nothing gets hauled away that should have gone to the sale.
Coordination Support for Executors, Attorneys & Realtors
Dedicated coordination and scheduling support for executors, probate attorneys, and realtors managing an estate property — clear timelines, itemized invoicing for the estate's records, and a single point of contact for the duration of the project.
For Executors
One point of contact, clear scope agreed up front, and itemized invoicing you can hand directly to the estate's records or your attorney.
For Probate Attorneys
Reliable scheduling and documentation your clients can rely on, so property clearance doesn't become a bottleneck in settling the estate.
For Realtors
Coordinated cleanout, deep clean, and exterior prep timed to your listing schedule, so the property is photo-ready when you need it.
How an Estate Cleanout Works
A clear four-step process from the first call to final handover — no surprises along the way.
Initial Walkthrough
In person or by photo/video for out-of-state executors. We scope the property, flag anything requiring special handling, and agree on a timeline.
Sort & Coordinate
We sort keep, donate, and haul-away as we work, coordinating with an estate sale company first if one is involved.
Full Clearance
Every room cleared to the agreed scope, with haul-away and disposal handled by our truck-enabled crews.
Deep Clean & Handover
Optional deep clean to an inspection-ready baseline, followed by a final walkthrough — in person or sent by video — before you hand over the keys.

Estate cleanouts are quoted the same way as our post-construction work — a straightforward hourly rate, no mystery line items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays for cleanouts during probate?
Cleanout costs are typically paid from the estate itself, as an administrative expense of settling the property — the same way you'd pay for utilities or repairs before a sale. We invoice the estate or the executor directly and can provide an itemized receipt for the estate's records. If you're unsure how this applies to your situation, your probate attorney can confirm what the estate can reimburse.
Can you manage out-of-state cleanouts remotely?
Yes. We regularly coordinate entire cleanouts with executors who live outside St. Louis — walkthrough photos and video before we start, a clear scope agreed by phone or email, and a final walkthrough sent after completion so you can confirm the property is ready without traveling in. Call (314) 888-5325 to talk through your specific timeline.
What happens to items we don't want to keep?
We sort items into keep, donate, and haul-away categories as we go, and can coordinate donation drop-off or pickup for usable furniture and household goods. If the family is working with an estate sale company, we coordinate scheduling so the sale happens before the final clearance — nothing gets hauled away that should have gone to the sale.
How much does an estate cleanout cost?
Estate cleanouts are quoted hourly: $75 per specialist per hour with a 3-hour minimum, the same transparent structure as our post-construction work. Haul-away and disposal fees are quoted per job based on volume and material — never a flat guess. Call (314) 888-5325 for a firm quote after a walkthrough.
