Clearing out an estate isn’t the same as a regular cleanout – there’s more at stake emotionally, and usually more to sort through carefully. Ariel Cleaning handles estate cleanups for South Florida families and property managers with the pace and respect the situation calls for, whether that’s downsizing a parent’s home or preparing a property for sale after a loss.
Clearing and cleaning one room, like a garage or a single bedroom, starts around $150.
A full single-family home cleanout, including furniture and appliance removal, starts around $600 depending on size and volume.
A family focused on just the garage before tackling the rest of the house books that space on its own first.
Compassionate, Unhurried Approach
We move at the pace that works for the family, not a rushed timeline.
Careful Sorting, Not Just Hauling
We separate what’s being kept, donated, or discarded based on your direction, room by room.
Property Left Ready to List or Sell
A deep clean after clearing means the home is ready for photos or showings, not just empty.
Works With Families, Executors, and Property Managers
We’re used to coordinating with whoever is handling the estate, whether that’s a family member, executor, or attorney.
Keep, donate, discard
A simple three-way sort based on your direction, not our judgment.
Furniture & appliance removal
Hauled once a room’s been sorted.
Sentimental items
Set aside carefully and handled at whatever pace the family needs.
Documentation photos
Available on request for family records or estate paperwork.
Final deep clean
Done once a room or the whole property is cleared.
When a family already has an estate sale company or a preferred donation center lined up, we work around their pickup schedule rather than working against it. If there’s no plan in place yet, we can point toward donation options for common items, though the decisions about what goes where stay with the family.

1. What is estate cleanup service?
Estate cleanup is the process of sorting, clearing, and cleaning a property during a downsizing, transition, or loss, handled respectfully and at a pace the family sets.
2. Do you help decide what to keep or discard?
We follow your direction on what’s being kept, donated, or discarded – we don’t make those decisions, but we can offer guidance if asked.
3. Can you coordinate with an estate sale company?
Yes, we can work alongside estate sale companies or donation centers if that’s part of the plan.
4. How long does an estate cleanout take?
It depends on the size of the property and how much sorting is needed – a single room might take a day, while a full home can take several days.

Yes, we regularly coordinate with whoever is managing the estate, whether that’s family, an executor, or an attorney.

Yes, a full deep clean after clearing is part of our estate cleanup service, so the property is ready to show or sell.

Yes, we can work at whatever pace works for the family, whether that’s one visit or several over time.
8. How do I get started?
Call or text us to talk through the situation and timeline – we can usually schedule an initial walkthrough within a few days.

Yes, and many families prefer to be there, especially for sentimental items – we work at whatever pace makes that comfortable.
10. Do you provide documentation of what was removed?
We can provide photos of major items removed on request, useful for family records or estate documentation.
