House, Basement & Garage Cleanouts in Southern NH

Whole house cleanouts

A whole house cleanout means every room, the basement, the attic and the garage, emptied in one job. Most of these calls come from families clearing a parent's home or an owner who needs the house empty before it is listed or sold. What makes it different is the volume and the decisions: forty years of furniture, boxes and keepsakes, and someone who is overwhelmed by it. Tyler walks the house with you first, you set aside what the family is keeping, and the crew takes everything else. One reviewer's parents' house "had been filled with junk for over 40 years and the task of cleaning it out seemed impossible," and when her father tried to cancel, Tyler "put his mind at ease and assured him they could get the job done as stress free as possible and that is exactly what happened!" (Catherine Cormier, Google review).

Basement cleanouts

Basements fill up with the heaviest things in the house: old furniture, appliances, boxes of books, a workbench, a treadmill. Everything has to come up a narrow stairway, through a bulkhead or out a walkout, which is the part homeowners dread and the part the crew is built for. A basement cleanout takes the stairs and the route to the truck into account, and the quote covers the lifting. Reviewers describe basements of "50 years of junk" cleared in under two hours (Cheryl Durkee, Google review) and a "900 sq foot basement" emptied "in under 2 hours" (Keith Murphy, Google review). If a previous owner left the basement or crawlspace packed, see hoarder cleanouts for situations that need sorting room by room.

Garage cleanouts

A garage cleanout is usually about getting a car back in. The difference from a basement is that most garages mix things you want gone with things you want kept: the lawn mower stays, the broken one goes, the bikes stay, the boxes from the last move go. Walk through with Tyler before the crew starts and point out the keepers, or tag them. Only what you point out leaves, and the crew sweeps up behind themselves on the way out. One reviewer's crew "cleared out a two car garage full of a whole house's worth of stuff in well under an hour and a half" (James C, Google review); another called his "messy garage" cleanout "more affordable than local competitors" (Ken Duquet, Google review).

Move-out and moving cleanouts

Moving is the second most common reason people contact Trash King. A move out cleanout is the furniture you are not taking, the stuff you never unpacked from the last move, and whatever is left in the garage and basement, hauled away so the house is empty on the day it has to be. The difference here is the deadline: a closing, a lease end, a landlord's walkthrough. Tell Tyler the date and what is leaving, and the crew clears it in one trip whenever the volume allows. One reviewer had "several pieces of furniture we wanted to get rid of before we move" taken care of, with Tyler responding "very quickly" and keeping her "informed throughout the process" (Kimberly Bove, Google review). Another was "referred from my realtor" and had an apartment cleaned out "fast" (Timothy Kyrousis, Google review). The cleanout covers what leaves for good. Some customers have also had the crew help with a small move; that is a separate conversation with Tyler, not part of the cleanout quote.

Who calls Trash King for a cleanout

• Families clearing a parent's home. Decades of belongings, often with a sale or a move to assisted living behind it. This is the single most common cleanout in Trash King's reviews.
• People moving or downsizing. Furniture that will not fit the next place, boxes from the last move, a garage that has to be empty by closing day.
• New owners who inherited a full basement, garage or crawlspace. The previous owner left it; you want it gone before you move in.
• Landlords between tenants. A unit or a basement left full after a move-out.
• Realtors and executors before a listing or a closing. Several reviewers were sent by their real estate agent.

How a cleanout works

1. Call or send photos. Tell Tyler the town, which rooms, roughly how much, and any stairs or heavy items. He answers the phone himself.
2. Get a free quote. One price for the job, before anything is loaded.
3. Point out what stays. Walk through with the crew, or tag the keepers. Anything they are unsure about is set aside for you to decide.
4. The crew loads, hauls and disposes. You do not lift anything. They sweep up and leave the space ready for whatever comes next.

What drives the quote

Four things: how much there is, how many rooms or areas, how hard it is to get to the truck (basement stairs, a third-floor apartment, a long driveway), and whether there are special items like a piano, a hot tub or an old appliance. Trash King does not publish a price list because no two cleanouts hold the same amount; the quote is free and covers the whole job. Our junk removal cost guide explains what moves a quote up or down, and the before-and-after gallery shows what a cleared basement or garage looks like.

What is handled separately

A full estate cleanout for an executor or a family settling a loved one's home has its own page, and so does a bank or agent's foreclosure cleanout. If the house is a hoarding situation that needs sorting room by room, start with hoarder cleanouts. For one couch, one mattress or one appliance rather than a whole space, see mattress, furniture and appliance pickup. Paint, chemicals, propane, fuel and anything you are unsure about: tell Tyler before the job so he can say what the crew will handle.
