You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

Losing someone is already hard. Clearing out their home on top of that, the memories, the urgency, the responsibility can feel impossible.

Maybe you’re trying to sell the house.

Maybe the rest of the family is leaning on you to “just handle it.”

Maybe it’s been months, and walking through the front door still feels like too much.

Whatever you’re carrying, we get it. And we’re here to support you through these tough times with a quality service that you’ll never have to second-guess.

A complete service based on your needs:

When You Might Need an Estate Cleanout

People don’t usually plan for this. It’s something that shows up when life changes, sometimes suddenly, sometimes all at once. We’re here to step in when you need extra hands and steady minds.

We help families and homeowners when:

This Isn’t Just a Job, It’s a Way to Honor Their Life

Most people call us when they don’t know where to begin. We’re here to make sure you’re not doing it alone.

You Don’t Have to Sort Anything First

You don’t need to go through every drawer. We’ll walk through the home with you, ask what matters, and handle the rest with care.

We’ll Help You Find What Matters

If you’re looking for documents, photos, jewelry, or keepsakes, we’ll keep our eyes open and set aside anything important.

You’re Allowed to Step Away

You can stay and oversee the cleanout, or not. Either way, we’ll treat the home with the same care you would.

The Right Crew for the Hard Stuff

We send clean-cut, background-checked professionals trained to handle these jobs with empathy, discretion, and respect.

Handling Every Estate With Care, Respect, and Understanding

Estate Cleanout FAQs

How is an estate cleanout different from regular junk removal?

Regular junk jobs are fast and simple: old furniture, construction debris, garage cleanouts. Estate cleanouts are personal. Emotional. Often time-sensitive. You’re not just emptying a space, you’re closing a chapter. So we move with care. We ask what matters. And we treat the home like it still belongs to someone who’s loved.

Will you help find important items during the cleanout?

Yes. Let us know what you’re looking for: birth certificates, jewelry, paperwork, family heirlooms, and we’ll set anything aside that looks important. We know what to look for, and we take our time.

Do I need to be there during the cleanout?

Not if you don’t want to be. We understand this can be emotional, so we’re happy to handle the work independently, or with you there, whichever feels easier.

How much does an estate cleanout cost?

We price these jobs with fairness and full transparency. There’s a base rate, but the final cost depends on the size, volume, and complexity of the job.

We’ll come out, walk the property with you, and give you an honest quote before anything starts. If you decide not to move forward, that’s okay, too. We’re not here to pressure you into something you’re not fully comfortable with yet.

How the Estate Cleanout Process Works

We’ve done hundreds of these. We know how heavy it feels at first and how much lighter it feels once you have the right help.

Reach Out

Tell us what’s going on. We’ll talk through your needs, timing, and anything specific you want us to find or protect. With you, every step of the way.

Sit Back

Our crew arrives on time, walks through the space with you (or for you), and clears everything, sorting, saving, and hauling what needs to go.

Move Forward

Whether it’s prepping the home for sale or finally clearing a space that’s held you back, we’ll help you take the next step without carrying all the weight alone.

People You Can Rely On When Things Get Tough

Aaron is very professional and communicative; he sent a team of 3 – Eric, David, and Bryson – who were so efficient at removing all my stuff that they were ready to leave before I was done tossing, lol!

Seriously, a terrific company from first contact to final invoice ( great pricing!), and I will not hesitate to recommend them or use them again.

I contacted Aaron with Junk Galaxy to haul away some furniture for my parents who are in assisted living at The Neighborhood in Telico Village and he managed to get me on the schedule for the same day.

Aaron’s crew showed up as scheduled and were very efficient with getting the items removed.

I found their prices to be very reasonable and would highly recommend them.

I used Junk Galaxy for an estate clearance. They did an excellent job.

Preston and Cade were especially courteous and friendly and worked efficiently and quickly.

I have already recommended them to some friends and family.

Oh my goodness! I would give this business 10 star review if it was an option! Aaron responded very quickly after I inquired about their services and if their services would come to Tallassee (Top of the World).

Not too many businesses will venture that far out, so I was expecting a short answer of no- sorry we don’t service that far out. Thankfully, I was wrong! My mom passed away last September and my brother is living in her place in Tallassee. I needed a dumpster for years of accumulated junk/etc… bags of trash, unsalvageable clothing and other items (mild case of hoarding).

I debated on hauling it all to the dump on our trailer, but it would have taken me at least 10 trips and the loading/unloading of all the bags/junk I could not physically do anymore. When I showed Aaron some pictures of what I needed help with, he said they could take care of it anytime this week!

He was very friendly, professional, and flexible throughout our messaging (4-5 days). He texted me yesterday morning to make sure everything was still on for noon arrival/pickup/cleanup. He informed me the names of the 3 young men that were coming to get the job done.

He texted me after the job was completed to make sure that I was satisfied and everything went well. Customer satisfaction is a priority with this company! I’m very pleased and impressed! The 3 young men (Luke, Nate, and Bryson) were absolutely an answered prayer to me!

They were punctual, polite, and some of the hardest workers I have ever seen! I was absolutely amazed and delighted with the service they provided! Those young men went above and beyond to make sure they got everything cleaned up! I am not one that usually leaves reviews, but I reached out to them because of all the reviews I read on them- that’s what made me go with this company!

With all that said- DO NOT HESITATE to hire this company for any of the services provided by them! I will definitely be singing their praises and spreading the word about how awesome they are! Thank you Aaron and guys!
