How to choose a company in Decorah

  • Request references or recent reviews from Decorah-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.
  • Understand what drives the price: total volume, stairs, heavy items, and Winneshiek County landfill or transfer-station fees.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • How many crew members, and how long will the Decorah job take?
  • Can you handle appliances, pianos, safes, or other heavy items?
  • Do you recycle or dispose of electronics and hazardous materials properly?
  • 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?

Many Decorah providers also handle estate planning attorneys and estate auctions.
