How to choose a company in Lawrence
For sensitive jobs, ask about biohazard or hoarding experience and whether they screen for valuables and documents.
Request references or recent reviews from Lawrence-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.
