Estate cleanout
in Miami.
An estate cleanout in Miami-Dade works by photos with JunkZipp, even if you are out of town: send photos of the house, approve one price for the whole job, and a hauler with license and insurance on file with us clears it. A house has to be cleared after a death, a move to assisted living, or before a closing, often on a schedule the family did not set.
We are opening Miami-Dade one area at a time. Leave your email and your zip, and we will tell you the moment we are taking pickups where you are.
Estate cleanout in Miami-Dade, how it works
An estate cleanout usually starts with a decision nobody wanted to make yet: a house is going on the market after a death in the family, a parent is moving into assisted living and giving up a place they have lived in for decades, or a family split between Miami and somewhere else needs a house empty before closing. The furniture, the decades of belongings, the garage nobody has opened in years, all of it has to be dealt with on a schedule that is usually set by a realtor, a closing date, or a facility move-in, not by how ready anyone feels.
Families dealing with an estate are often not all in Miami-Dade at the same time. One sibling might be local, another flying in for a weekend, another handling things by phone from out of state. You do not have to be standing in the house to get a price: send photos room by room, or have whoever is local send them, and we price the whole house from that. Nothing gets scheduled or touched until someone with the authority to approve it does.
If the house is going through probate, check with the estate's attorney about what can be removed and when, since that is not something we can advise on. Once you have the go-ahead, tell us if a realtor needs the house cleared by a specific date so the timeline is clear from the start. Older Miami-Dade homes in places like Coral Gables and North Miami often mean decades of furniture, appliances, and stored belongings in a single cleanout, not just a few rooms.
Send photos of what is leaving, room by room if it is a full house. A real person prices the whole job and sends back one number to approve before anything is scheduled. A licensed, insured independent hauler does the loading, and you pay JunkZipp once the house is clear, not the crew, and not before you approve the price.
What we take
- Full households of furniture
- Kitchen and laundry appliances
- Decades of stored belongings
- Garage and shed contents
- Mattresses and bed frames
- Clothing and household goods
- Yard and patio items
If the property is in probate, confirm with the estate's attorney what can be removed before you book. Tell us if a realtor or closing date sets your deadline, since photos from a family member out of town work fine. Set aside papers, photos and anything the family wants to keep before the crew arrives.
Questions people ask
- How much does an estate cleanout cost in Miami-Dade?
- A person prices the whole house from your photos: how much is there, how heavy it is, stairs and access, and items that cost extra to dispose of, like fridges, mattresses and paint. You approve one price before anything is booked.
- Do I need to be in Miami to arrange an estate cleanout?
- No. Send photos of the house, or have a family member local to Miami-Dade send them, and we price the whole job from that. You can approve the price and the pickup remotely. Someone does need to let the crew in, so tell us who will open the door or where a lockbox is.
- Can you work with our realtor's closing date?
- Yes. Tell us the date the house needs to be clear and we plan around it once you approve a price. The sooner you send photos and confirm a date, the more room there is to schedule it properly.
- Is an estate going through probate a problem for scheduling a cleanout?
- It can affect what can legally be removed and when, so check with the estate's attorney first about what you are cleared to do. Once you have that answer, we work around whatever timeline the estate allows.
- What if some family members want to keep certain items and others want everything gone?
- Set aside anything anyone wants to keep before you send photos, since we only price and remove what is in the photos. It is easier to separate those items first than to try to stop a crew mid-job.
- Do you clear out the whole house, including the garage and attic?
- Yes. A full estate cleanout usually includes the garage, attic, shed, and any stored belongings, not just the main living areas. Send photos of every space so the price covers the entire property, not just what is visible from the front door.
