Estate Cleanouts in Alva, FL

Alva is a year-round place: fewer than 2% of its homes are seasonal, about a third of residents are 65 or older, and about a third of homes were built before 1980. About a quarter are mobile homes. An estate here often means a long-held house or mobile home plus the sheds, carports and outbuildings around it. Text photos of the house and the property, call, or use the free estimate form.

Mobile homes and what’s around them

About 24% of Alva’s homes are mobile homes. With a mobile home, the home itself is often not the biggest part of the job: carports, sheds and outside storage can be packed full too. If the home is being sold, tell us the date, and if it sits in a park, ask the office where a truck can park. Photograph the carport and every shed, then text the photos or call.

Send photos for a free estimate. Show each room or area that’s going, what stays, and the path to the door.

Long-held houses and outbuildings

About 76% of Alva’s homes are detached houses, and a third predate 1980. Decades in one place can fill a workshop or barn as full as the house. The estimate lists exactly which buildings are included, and anything that looks personal or valuable is set aside for the family. Send photos of each building through the free estimate form, or call.

How we handle an estate

  • Your family doesn’t have to be here. A lockbox, realtor, property manager or local family member can handle access, and photos, video, calls and texts cover the decisions.
  • One decision-maker approves the work. Start by marking the definite keeps with colored tape, sticky notes or one keep room the crew leaves alone.
  • Start with the rooms that are ready. Rooms the family hasn’t decided on stay out of the job, and we come back for them as a separate visit when you’re ready.
  • Cash, jewelry, photos, papers and keys are set aside for the family. Medications are kept separate, and if we find a gun or ammunition, we stop and call whoever is in charge of the estate.
  • Usable things go to local donation outlets that accept them, metal and appliances are recycled, and the cleared areas are left broom-clean.
  • You get the price before anything is loaded, progress updates as we work, before-and-after photos when they’re needed and a clear invoice.
