Estate Cleanout in Evanston
Estate Cleanout in Evanston
An Evanston century home doesn't get emptied in a weekend — not with a full attic, a basement that archived every project since Eisenhower, and a family scattered across three time zones trying to decide what matters. We do the on-the-ground part with patience: keepsakes stopped and photographed, furniture donated with receipts, every room broom-clean for the realtor.
Room by room, with the family in the loop
The protocol never changes: anything personal halts the line — letters, photographs, the jewelry box, the file cabinet's bottom drawer — photographed and set aside for the family's call, not ours. Then donation: Evanston houses hold furniture worth a second life, and Chicago-area charity programs take it gladly, with receipts returned for the estate file. Only then the clearing, at truck-fill rates fixed from photos before anyone lifted a chair — parlor, bedrooms, the attic under the eaves, the basement workbench. Estate-sale first? Standard sequence; we come after and clear the remainder. Executors in Denver or D.C. run the whole thing by phone, photo and a realtor's lockbox.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an estate cleanout cost in Evanston?
Flat truck-fill rates: 1/4 truck $241, 1/2 truck $431, 3/4 $587, full truck $732 — a full century home with basement and attic typically runs one to two trucks over a day or two. Photos of the rooms set the exact number first. $75 minimum.
I'm managing this from another state — is that workable?
Very — most Evanston estates we clear are run remotely. A realtor or neighbor opens the house, personal items are photographed and set aside for your decision, and you get before/after photos of every room plus donation receipts for the estate file.
Can you coordinate with an estate sale company?
Yes — the usual sequence is sale first, then we clear what didn't sell and leave the house broom-clean for the listing. We schedule around your sale dates.
