How to choose a company in University Place

  • Pin down the timeline — smaller University Place 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 University Place-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.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • How many crew members, and how long will the University Place job take?
  • 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?

Many University Place providers also handle estate planning attorneys, estate sales and elder law attorneys.
