How to choose a company in Boston
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 Suffolk County landfill or transfer-station fees.
Pin down the timeline — smaller Boston homes are often one day; larger estates run two to three with donation runs.
