How to choose a company in Columbia
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 Boone County landfill or transfer-station fees.
Pin down the timeline — smaller Columbia 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.
