Property Cleanouts in Los Angeles, CA

Property Cleanouts · Los Angeles, CA

Whole properties emptied and left broom-clean

Property cleanouts have been steady work for us in Los Angeles since the 90s. A cleanout means the whole property gets emptied, from the back bedroom to the garage. Our crew works room by room, sorts what is inside, and loads it into our own trucks. When the last truck pulls out, the place is broom-clean and ready for whatever comes next.

We have been doing this since 1994, and for 20 years we held City of Los Angeles contracts. The job was clearing out foreclosed, vacant and abandoned properties across the city. Our crews opened doors on full houses with no idea what was behind them, always on a deadline. That is the same work a family faces after a death, or a landlord faces after an eviction.

Estate, Garage, Foreclosure, Eviction and Hoarding Cleanouts

An estate cleanout usually starts with a call from a son or a daughter. A parent has passed or moved into care, and the house holds a lifetime of belongings. We offer estate cleanout services at whatever pace the family needs, one room or the whole house. A hoarder cleanout runs the same way, in layers, with nothing loaded until you say go.

Other jobs are about getting a property back to work. A landlord needs an eviction cleanout before the unit goes back on the market. Banks and agents call for a foreclosure cleanout when a house has sat empty. Sellers book a real estate cleanout so listing photos show clean rooms, and a garage cleanout often comes with it.

How Does a Property Cleanout Work?

It starts with a free estimate, and there is no charge to have us come out. Greg or a crew lead goes through every room, plus the garage, the attic and the yard. Access counts as much as volume, so we check the driveway, the gate width and where a truck can sit. You get one price for the whole job before anyone starts loading.

On the day, the crew clears one room at a time, and anything you flagged is set aside first. The rest gets sorted into what can be donated and what has to be hauled off. Boxes go out by hand, and a skid steer handles the heavy loads. We sweep out before we lock up, so the property is ready to show or hand over.

Cleanouts Across the Westside and the South Bay

Our truck yard sits in the South Bay, so most of our work is close to home. We cover Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and San Pedro, and we run down into Long Beach. On the Westside we work in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air, Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades. We ran cleanup crews in the Palisades after the fire, on streets we already knew.

Westside homes bring narrow driveways and hillside stairs, so we plan the truck spot and carry route ahead of time. Some of the homes we clear are high profile, and plenty of our jobs run under an NDA. Our trucks have carried the same slogan since the 90s: It's All About Service.

FAQ

Property Cleanouts Questions, Answered

Common questions about property cleanouts across the Westside and South Bay. Don't see yours? Give us a call and ask.

Call (310) 546-4855

How much does a property cleanout cost?
Price depends on volume, access and what is inside. A packed four-bedroom estate takes more truck loads than a garage cleanout. Stairs, a narrow driveway or a long carry add labor. Heavy items like safes and appliances change the load too. We look at the property first and quote the whole job free.
What happens to items of value or family keepsakes?
Nothing leaves until you say so. Before we start, you point out what stays: photos, documents, jewelry, tools, anything with meaning. We set those aside in one spot for you. Usable furniture and household goods in good shape go to a local donation center when we can. The rest is recycled or dumped.
How long does it take to clear out a whole house?
Most single-family homes take one to three days. A garage or a small apartment is often a single day. Hoarder cleanouts and packed estates can run a week, since sorting takes longer than loading. Access sets the pace too. After we see the property, we give you a day count and we hold to it.
Do you handle foreclosure and eviction cleanouts for landlords and banks?
Yes. We spent 20 years on City of Los Angeles contracts clearing foreclosed, vacant and abandoned properties. Some had sat empty for months, so we plan for the unknown. Banks, agents and property managers call us for the same work today. We can meet a lockout date and leave the unit rent-ready. Call 310-546-4855 for a free estimate.
What if I only need a few items taken away?
Then you want <a href="/junk-removal">junk removal</a>, which is our single-load service. A cleanout is the whole house, sorted and emptied. If cabinets, flooring or built-ins have to come out too, that is <a href="/interior-demolition">interior demolition</a>, and the same crew handles it. Tell us what you have and we will point you the right way.

Why Choose Southwest Hauling

Why Westside and South Bay Owners Call Southwest

Thirty Years in Los Angeles

Greg started Southwest Hauling in 1994 and still prices the jobs himself. The slogan on the trucks has not changed since: It's All About Service. Same owner, same phone number, same standard.

The Hauling Is Ours

Our own trucks and skid steers do the loading and the hauling. Debris leaves on our schedule, not a bin company's. The teardown and the haul-off are one job and one price.

City-Contract Discipline

Twenty years of City of Los Angeles contracts clearing foreclosed and vacant properties. That work runs on deadlines and documentation, and the habit stuck. Sites get finished, not abandoned.

Quiet on Purpose

Much of our work sits behind gates on the Westside, and NDAs are routine. Crews park where you say, keep the site tidy and do not talk about whose property they are on.
