1. Starting with photos

For families who live far away, the team shares photos or video of each room so decisions can be made by phone.

3. Heavy lifting

Furniture, appliances and boxes are carried out and hauled. The family does not need to lift anything.

The house is cleaned, locked up and the keys are returned to whoever is managing the estate.

Common Questions About Estate Cleanup in Paces, Atlanta, GA

Can the house be sold after a cleanout?

Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.

What if the death was unattended and the home needs biohazard cleanup first?

Then biohazard cleanup comes before sorting. A team removes affected materials, cleans, disinfects and treats odor. After that, the home can be sorted safely. Many teams can do both parts, so ask when you call.

What happens to the items that are not kept?

They are sorted into donate, recycle and dispose. Usable items can often be donated, and the rest is hauled away. Hazardous items such as chemicals and old medicines are handled safely. Ask the team how each category is handled.

Can a cleanout team clean the house too?

Yes. Many estate cleanout teams sweep and clean floors, kitchens and bathrooms after the contents are gone. If biohazard work is needed, ask whether the same team can do it, so access and timing stay simple.

Who pays for an estate cleanout?

In many cases the cost is paid from the person's estate, by family members or by the person named to handle the estate. Insurance may help with biohazard cleanup but is less likely to pay for sorting and hauling. Questions about authority and payment are best answered by an attorney.

Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?

Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.
