How to choose a company in Sturgis

  • 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 St. Joseph County landfill or transfer-station fees.
  • Pin down the timeline — smaller Sturgis 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.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • 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?
  • Is the quote all-in, or do dump fees and labor get added later?

Many Sturgis providers also handle estate auctions and junk removal.
