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 is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?

Go slowly and begin with safety and paperwork. Secure documents, jewelry and photos first. Then work room by room, and ask a team to help with lifting, hauling and cleaning. Take breaks. Nothing says the whole house must be done in one weekend.

Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?

Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.

Does insurance cover an estate cleanout?

Insurance may help with biohazard cleanup after a death in the home, depending on the policy. It is less likely to pay for sorting and hauling belongings. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
