How to choose a company in Ship Bottom

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

  • Do you donate or consign usable items, and do I get receipts for donations?
  • Are you insured, and what happens if something is damaged?
  • How many crew members, and how long will the Ship Bottom job take?
  • Can you handle appliances, pianos, safes, or other heavy items?
  • Do you recycle or dispose of electronics and hazardous materials properly?

Many Ship Bottom providers also handle estate cleanout and estate planning attorneys.
