You're dealing with enough. We clear the home respectfully, on your timeline, routing usable items to donation when possible.
No obligation, same-day response
SAME-DAY AVAILABLE
An estate cleanout happens at one of the hardest moments in a family's life. The last thing you need is unreliable contractors, surprise costs, or a crew that rushes through the process.
Martin and his team have helped Portland families clear homes for eight years. We handle the physical work so you can focus on what matters.
Estate work takes us across the metro. Older homes in Sellwood-Moreland and Irvington with decades of accumulated belongings. Lake Oswego and West Linn properties with detached garages and outbuildings. Oregon City families managing the process from out of town. We coordinate around your situation, wherever the home is.
What We Clear in Estate Cleanouts
How It Works
Tell us about the home, timeline, and any concerns. We'll talk it through before you commit to anything.
We walk the property with you, confirm scope, and give you a firm price before any work starts.
We work at your pace, keep you informed, and leave the property empty and swept.
How We Approach Estate Work
We move at your pace and treat every item with care. Nothing gets cleared without your direction.
Usable items are routed to local Portland donation centers when the condition allows. Not straight to a landfill.
Partial cleanouts, phased visits, or a single full clearance. We work around your family's schedule.
Before we leave, we tell you what was donated or recycled when we can and what went to certified disposal. You know where things ended up.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the estate cleanout process work?
You tell us what stays and what goes. We handle the rest. We work room by room and clear everything on the removal list. You don't need to be present for the entire job. We can coordinate with a family member, estate attorney, or property manager.
Do I need to sort or separate items before you arrive?
No. You don't need to pre-sort, bag, or organize anything before we arrive. Point at what needs to go and we carry it out, load it, and haul it away. If you want to walk the property with us first to mark items, that works well too. Just call and we'll set a time.
Can you do a partial cleanout if family members are still deciding on some items?
Yes. We can clear specific rooms, floors, or sections of the home while leaving other areas untouched. You don't have to decide everything in advance. We'll note what's staying, what's going, and return for the rest when you're ready. There's no penalty for splitting the work across two visits.
Do you donate usable items?
Yes, when possible. Furniture, clothing, and household items in good condition are routed to local Portland-area donation centers when the condition allows. We handle the sorting and transport. We'll give you a general picture of where things went when we wrap up: what was donated, what was recycled, and what went to disposal.
How long does an estate cleanout take?
A two or three-bedroom home typically takes 4 to 8 hours. Larger properties, attics with heavy accumulation, or multiple outbuildings may take two visits. We give you an honest estimate when we walk the property. If the scope shifts on the day of, we tell you before we keep working.
Do you handle estate cleanouts with significant accumulation?
Yes. We approach every job without judgment, regardless of the property's condition. Large accumulation cleanouts are something we do regularly, and we've seen every level of buildup. Nothing about the situation changes how we treat clients or how carefully we do the work. Call and describe what you're dealing with. We'll talk it through.
How is estate cleanout pricing determined?
Per job: we walk the property with you, assess the scope, and give you a firm price before any work starts. No hourly rates, no per-item fees, no surprise charges added after the fact. If the number doesn't work for you, there's no obligation to proceed.
TESTIMONIALS
FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
"Martin is very professional, super responsive, and efficient. I looked into many local companies and Martin's customer service was well above the rest. He showed up on time, gave me a firm price before touching anything, and had the whole load cleared faster than I expected. This is who you call."
"Used Martin's to haul out a fridge, dishwasher, and old washer. He handled everything carefully, was upfront about the price before starting, and even mentioned which items could potentially be recycled. Genuinely one of the easiest service calls I have made. Would absolutely hire again."
"Quick, professional, and reasonably priced. Martin went above and beyond to work around my schedule. The garage was stacked floor to ceiling and it was completely cleared in under an hour. The price he quoted on-site was the price I paid. No games."
"We had a full estate cleanout after my mother passed and Martin handled it with a lot of care and respect. He was patient, communicated clearly, and did not rush us. Everything was handled in one visit. It was a hard day and he made it much easier."
"Had a shed and a hot tub that needed to come out. Martin's crew showed up on time and had both demolished and hauled off in about three hours. Fair price, no surprise charges, and they cleaned up after themselves. I will be calling them again for the deck next spring."
"I have used other junk haulers in Portland and Martin's is the only one that felt like dealing with an actual local business owner. He answered the phone himself, showed up when he said he would, and took the time to sort items before loading. A genuinely good experience from start to finish."
