Can you clear a Cape Coral house while we’re out of state?

Yes. Access can be a lockbox, a realtor, a property manager or local family, and we work from your photos, video, calls and texts. One decision-maker approves the work, gets progress updates and receives before-and-after photos when it's done. Text photos or call to start.

Will the city pick up the furniture for free instead?

Cape Coral's bulk pickup takes items set within 3 feet of the road, each under 150 pounds. If someone can carry it out, that's an option. If not, we carry it out and haul it away.

Estate Cleanouts in Cape Coral, FL

About four in five Cape Coral homes are detached houses (U.S. Census), so an estate cleanout usually means a full house plus a garage, a lanai and sometimes a pool cage. We clear the rooms your family is ready to let go of and leave the rest until you decide. Text photos of each room, call, or use the free estimate form.

A whole house, not just a few rooms

With 79% of Cape Coral homes detached and about 96,000 homes in the city, most estates here include a garage as well as the house. Photograph the garage from the door and from the back if you can, since the first row of boxes rarely shows how deep it goes. Patio furniture, an old hot tub or a screen enclosure can be part of the same visit. The estimate lists exactly which areas are included, from the house and garage to the lanai, pool cage or shed, so nobody is assuming. Text photos of every area, call, or use the free estimate form.

What the city will and won’t take

Cape Coral’s bulk pickup runs on your garbage day for items within 3 feet of the road and under 150 pounds each, and appliances can be scheduled with Waste Pro. That works for a chair or two set out by the family. It doesn’t carry a dresser down the hall or clear a packed garage, and anything heavier than 150 pounds stays put. The Cape Coral pickup guide has the details. When the curb won’t work, text photos or call and our crew carries it out.

Families who live elsewhere

About a quarter of Cape Coral’s residents are 65 or older, and the family member settling an estate often lives out of state. You don’t have to fly in: a lockbox, a realtor, a property manager or local family can give the crew access, and photos, video, calls and texts cover the decisions. Name one person who approves the work; that person hears from us as the rooms clear and gets before-and-after photos at the end. Text photos of each room, call, or use the free estimate form to start.

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.
