How to choose a company in Union

  • Understand what drives the price: total volume, stairs, heavy items, and McHenry County landfill or transfer-station fees.
  • Pin down the timeline — smaller Union homes are often one day; larger estates run two to three with donation runs.
  • Ask whether they do light cleaning and a broom-swept finish after the haul-out, or just removal.
  • For sensitive jobs, ask about biohazard or hoarding experience and whether they screen for valuables and documents.
  • Request references or recent reviews from Union-area jobs, and check how the company responds to criticism.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Will you sweep and tidy the property when the cleanout is finished?
  • Can you work around a probate timeline or a realtor's listing date?
  • Is the quote all-in, or do dump fees and labor get added later?
  • Do you donate or consign usable items, and do I get receipts for donations?
  • Are you insured, and what happens if something is damaged?

Many Union providers also handle estate auctions.
