Property Cleanouts
Clearing a parent's or relative's home is hard enough without the heavy lifting. We work at your pace, set aside paperwork and keepsakes, donate what can be used, and haul the rest, so the house is ready to sell, rent or hand back.
An estate cleanout clears a loved one's home after the family has kept what matters. Pacific Haul & Wash walks the home with you or your agent, sets aside paperwork, photos and keepsakes, donates usable furniture when possible, and hauls the rest. Executors and realtors can approve the estimate by text.
If the home has antiques, collectibles or quality furniture, consider an appraiser or estate sale company first, then book the cleanout for whatever remains. We are haulers, not appraisers. Usable leftovers can still go to Goodwill San Diego or Father Joe's Villages instead of the landfill.
Estate cleanouts often involve several decision-makers in different cities. We send the estimate by text or email, work from lockbox access when family can't be there, and send after photos when the home is empty.
If anything might have resale value, we recommend an appraiser or estate sale company first. We come in afterward and clear whatever is left, room by room.
Text photos of each room, the garage and yard to (619) 972-3798, along with your timeline.
Tag or move keepsakes, paperwork and anything family members are taking.
We donate usable items when possible, haul the rest, and leave the home broom-clean.
