Full-Service Basement Clearing
Basements are where things go to be forgotten. After years of storing things you “might need someday,” a Chicago basement can feel impossible to tackle alone. Our crew specializes in full-basement clearouts - we do the sorting, the carrying up narrow stairs, and the hauling.
What We Remove from Basements
- Old furniture (sofas, bed frames, shelving units)
- Appliances (chest freezers, old washers, water heaters)
- Boxes of clothing, books, and household goods
- Sports and exercise equipment
- Holiday decorations and seasonal items
- Electronics and scrap metal
- Construction and remodeling debris
- Flood-damaged items (we advise on safety for mold-affected materials)
Unfinished vs. Finished Basements
We work in both. Unfinished basements often have heavier debris loads (concrete rubble, pipe insulation, scrap materials). Finished basements tend to have more furniture and household goods. Either way, we’re equipped for the job.
Stairwell Access
Chicago’s basement stairs are notoriously narrow and steep. Our crew is experienced in navigating tight stairwells and awkward angles - we use moving blankets and corner guards to protect your walls and doorframes.
Pricing
Basement cleanouts are a labor and truck fee starting at $450 (it depends on the distance and location of the job), plus flat junk fees for each item by size:
- Small (vacuum, small bookshelf, nightstand): $50
- Medium (dresser, armchair, coffee table): $75
- Large (washer, dryer, sofa up to 3 seats): $100
- Extra-large (refrigerator, treadmill, pool table, sectional): $150
Full basement cleanouts are quoted from photos or on site. Stairs, long carries and building access can affect the labor fee, and we confirm the full price before we start.
