Home/Estate Cleanouts
Estate cleanouts in Phoenix, with care for what matters.
After a loved one has passed away, you may need help sorting belongings and clearing a home. Diane and the Double D team handle packing, donation and hauling across the Phoenix metro, including for families coordinating from out of state.
Room by room, in an order you agreed to.
We walk the property with you first, or on a video call if you are not in Arizona. You tell us what matters. Then we work through the house in the order we agreed, and everything is sorted before it is moved.
- A free walkthrough and a written price before anything is touched
- Keepsakes, documents and valuables set aside first and boxed
- Usable furniture and goods donated rather than dumped
- Photographs of the rooms as the work progresses
- Swept and ready for the agent, the lender or the family
The jobs most people would rather not look at.

Estate cleanouts
After a loved one has passed away, the house still has to be dealt with, often by someone who lives out of state and has a week to do it. We clear the whole property, set aside what the family wants, and hand it back empty and ready to list.
- 02
Foreclosure and eviction cleanouts
Properties handed back in whatever condition they were left in. Full cleanout, debris removal and a swept building for the lender, the agent or the owner.
- 03
Hoarding cleanup
Heavy build up, including homes with fire risk or vermin. We work without judgment and take the time to sort carefully.
- 04
Packing services
Boxing up a house properly, whether it is going into storage, going to family in another state, or just has to be moved out of the way before the rest is cleared. Tell us which pieces need extra care and where they are going.
- 05
Valuables and document retrieval
Deeds, titles, policies, photographs, cash and jewelry turn up inside things nobody would think to open. We look, and what we find comes back to you.
- 06
Preparing a home for sale
Cleared, swept and photograph ready for the agent. Cleaning is available if the property needs it.
- 07
Estate liquidation support
Items worth real money get identified and flagged before anything is donated or hauled, so nothing valuable leaves by accident.
Nothing leaves the house in one pile.
The part families actually worry about is not the hauling. It is the fear that a mother's things go straight into a dumpster. They do not. Every room gets sorted 5 ways before anything is loaded.
Keep
Anything the family wants held back. Boxed, labeled and set aside before the rest of the room is touched, not sorted out of a pile afterwards.
Photographs, documents, jewelry, keepsakesDonate
Furniture, appliances and household goods with life left in them go to donation when they are usable and accepted. We discuss the options with you.
Donation options reviewed with youSell
Items with genuine resale value are pulled out and identified so they can be sold rather than given away by mistake.
Told to you before anything movesRecycle
Metal, electronics, cardboard, appliances and green waste are separated and taken to the right facility.
Kept out of the trailer where it countsHaul
Everything genuinely finished. Broken furniture, rotted cushions, debris and the contents of a garage nobody has opened in 10 years.
Loaded, hauled and goneA look at the spaces we clear.
Every property is different. These rooms are from Diane's work, with household belongings removed and space for the next step.
Furniture and loose belongings removed from a room.
Open floor space with the belongings cleared away.
Nobody gets judged.
Hoarding calls are almost always made by an adult child, and almost always after years of putting it off. The house is not the problem to solve in a single afternoon and we do not treat it that way.
We work at a pace the family can handle, we recover the things that matter, and we deal with the rest. If the property has fire risk, vermin or structural damage, we will say so plainly and tell you what needs a licensed trade before we go any further.
Start with the items you want to keep, your deadline and photos of each space.
Use the cleanout planning checklistEstate cleanouts
I live out of state. Do I have to be there?
You can coordinate the cleanout from out of state. We can walk the property on a video call, agree what is being kept, and send photographs as the work goes. You get pictures of the rooms before, during and after.
How long does a full house take?
The schedule depends on the amount to remove, access and the sorting involved. Tell Diane about any closing date, travel plans or other deadline. The walkthrough is when we agree on the scope and confirm the schedule.
What if we find something valuable after you have started?
Work stops and you get a call. Anything that looks like a document, a keepsake or something with real value is set aside for the family, not sorted into a donate pile.
Can you work with the estate attorney or the agent?
Yes. We can coordinate with agents, attorneys and out of state family. Tell us who is authorizing the work and who needs the photographs.
Should I sort everything before asking for an estimate?
No. Start by identifying the items and rooms that should be kept untouched. We can discuss the remaining sorting during the walkthrough. Our cleanout checklist covers photos, access, keepsakes and the details to share before work starts.
Tell us about the property.
A free estimate, same day or next day. If you are out of state we will walk it on video and send you the pictures.
