How to choose a company in Bellingham
Pin down the timeline — smaller Bellingham 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.
For sensitive jobs, ask about biohazard or hoarding experience and whether they screen for valuables and documents.
Request references or recent reviews from Bellingham-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.
