2–3 bedroom full-house cleanout$1,500–$3,500

How to choose a company in Mediapolis

  • For sensitive jobs, ask about biohazard or hoarding experience and whether they screen for valuables and documents.
  • Request references or recent reviews from Mediapolis-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

  • 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 Mediapolis providers also handle estate auctions.
