Who We Help
Out-of-town owners: Your mountain home has collected years of furniture, linens and garage clutter, and you'd rather not spend a vacation week hauling it.
Families with an inherited home: A parent's house or family cabin needs to be cleared, and everyone lives in a different state. We work with the family, the estate attorney or the executor.
Short-term rental hosts: Refreshing furniture between seasons, clearing a damaged hot tub, or getting a new listing ready for photos.
Sellers and their realtors: Closing date on the calendar? We empty the house so it's ready for listing photos, showings or the final walkthrough.
Property managers: One call covers owner-approved cleanouts, tenant move-outs, abandoned items and seasonal refreshes across your portfolio.
New owners: You bought it "as-is," with the previous owner's furniture, a full garage and a shed of mystery junk. We'll clear it before your first visit.

Second-Home and Cabin Cleanouts Service Process

Text photos of each room, the garage, the basement and any outbuildings to 828-845-4046. Your property manager, neighbor or realtor can send them, or we can do a quick video walkthrough together.

Mark items to keep with a sticker, painter's tape or a simple list with photos. Anything unmarked is fair game. Not sure yet? We can photograph everything before removal so you can decide room by room.

We send a price based on how much space everything will take in our truck. We confirm it on the first visit before we load anything. If something changes, we'll text you before doing anything that affects the price.

We work with a lockbox, a gate or door code, a key from your property manager, or a realtor or neighbor who can let us in. We'll confirm HOA or gated-community rules ahead of time.

Our crew carries everything out from every room, deck, crawl space and outbuilding. We text you progress photos during larger jobs.

Usable furniture and household goods go to local donation partners whenever possible. Metals and appliances are recycled, and the rest is disposed of properly

You get before-and-after photos of every area we worked in. Pay online, with no need to be there.

Common Second-Home Jobs

Selling the mountain house
Clear everything, or everything except staging pieces, before listing photos. Timed to your realtor's schedule.

Inherited home or family cabin
Work with the family to set aside keepsakes, donate what's usable and clear the rest. We're patient, careful and respectful of what the home means to you.

Rental refresh
Out with worn-out furniture, mattresses and old hot tubs between seasons, so your property manager or new furniture delivery can take it from there.

New-owner "as-is" cleanout
The previous owner left it all behind. We clear it before your first visit, or before your contractors start work.

Storm or damage cleanup
Damaged furniture, flooring and debris after a storm or leak. If there's water damage, talk to your insurance adjuster first; we can work on their timeline.

Upfront Pricing

Second-home cleanouts are priced the same way as all our jobs: by how much space your items take up in our truck or trailer. The price includes labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no hourly meter running.

Load size Examples Price

Partial cleanout (¼–½ load) Small Bedroon $150.00 - 325.00

Full load Small Cabin $650.00

Multi Load Cleanout Full House $650.00 + Quoted from Photos or a Walkthrough

Hot Tub 4 to 6 person Standard Spa $550.00

Heavy materials such as brick, stone, concrete and dirt are priced by weight. Long carries, multiple floors and very steep access may affect price, and we'll tell you before we start.

Why Owners Trust Us With Their Homes

We treat your home like it's occupied. We plan carry routes, protect floors and door frames [confirm], and never drag heavy pieces.

You're never left guessing. Photos before, during and after. If anything is unclear, we text you before we move it.

We only take what you've approved. Anything marked "keep" stays exactly where it is.

We lock up. We confirm doors, windows and gates are secured when we leave, and put keys back in the lockbox.

We're local. We live and work in Henderson County. You're dealing with the same people from quote to final photo, not a franchise call center.

Tips for Out-of-Town Owners

A quick checklist to make your cleanout smooth:

Remove or clearly mark anything you want to keep (sticky notes, painter's tape or a photo list)
Remove valuables, important papers, firearms and medications, or ask a family member to
Leave the power and water on so we have lights and can sweep up
Let your HOA or gate staff know we're coming, if required
Share your lockbox code, gate code or property manager's contact
Tell us about tricky access: steep driveways, long stairs, low bridges or tight turns
Let us know your deadline: a closing date, guest arrival, listing photos or contractor start date

Second-Home Cleanout FAQ

Do I need to be there for the cleanout?
No. Most of our second-home jobs happen while the owner is out of state. We quote from photos, work with a lockbox, a code or your property manager, and text you photos throughout.

How do you know what to keep?
You tell us. Mark items with tape or sticky notes, or send us a photo list. Anything marked stays. If we find something that looks important, like papers, photos or jewelry, we set it aside and text you before we do anything with it.

Can you work with my property manager or realtor?
Yes. We regularly coordinate directly with property managers, realtors, executors and estate attorneys. Just give us their contact information.

How fast can you clear a house before closing?
Most second-home cleanouts are scheduled within a week, and many are finished in a single day. Larger multi-load homes may take two days. Tell us your deadline when you book.

What happens to furniture that's still in good shape?
Whenever possible, we route usable furniture and household goods to local donation partners instead of the landfill.

How do I pay if I'm not here?
You can pay remotely once the job is done and you've seen the final photos. All major crdit cards are accepted

Do you handle short-term rental refreshes?
Yes. We remove worn furniture, mattresses, hot tubs and outdoor gear between seasons, on your turnover schedule.

Is my home safe while you're working?
We treat every home like the owner is standing in the doorway. We protect floors and door frames, lock up when we leave, return keys to the lockbox, and document everything with photos.
