How to choose a company in Walnut Creek
For sensitive jobs, ask about biohazard or hoarding experience and whether they screen for valuables and documents.
Request references or recent reviews from Walnut Creek-area jobs, and check how the company responds to criticism.
Confirm the company is licensed and insured — ask for a certificate before any crew enters the home.
Get an itemized written estimate, not a phone ballpark; walk-throughs surface hidden volume (attics, garages, basements).
Ask how they handle donations and consignment — a good crew offsets your cost by rehoming or reselling usable items.
Questions to ask before you hire

Do you donate or consign usable items, and do I get receipts for donations?
Are you insured, and what happens if something is damaged?
How many crew members, and how long will the Walnut Creek job take?
Can you handle appliances, pianos, safes, or other heavy items?
