Estate Cleanouts on Captiva, FL

About seven in ten Captiva homes are held for seasonal use, and about 40% are in buildings of 10 or more units. That makes an estate here a closed-up vacation home or condo, usually settled by family who live elsewhere, a long way from the county’s drop-off sites. Text photos of the home, call, or use the free estimate form, and we’ll plan it as one trip.

Settling a seasonal home from away

With most Captiva homes empty much of the year, the person settling an estate is often not on the island. The building manager, a realtor, a lockbox or a local contact can handle access, and photos and video from the last visit are enough to start. Name one decision-maker; that person gets updates while we work and before-and-after photos at the end. Call or text to set it up.

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

Condo buildings

About 40% of Captiva’s homes are in buildings of 10 or more units. Elevators, reserved loading times and long carries to the truck shape the day, so with your authorization we settle the building’s requirements with the manager ahead of time. If your building or property manager requires a certificate of insurance, tell us when you book and we’ll arrange it. Text the building’s vendor rules with your photos.

One planned haul

Captiva is unincorporated Lee County (ZIP 33924), collected by WM. Lee County’s Topaz Court facility is about 21.5 miles away, so household chemicals and electronics from an estate are worth gathering in one place for a single drop-off, and our crew hauls the rest in one planned visit. Call or text with your dates.

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.
