Why Apex Home Point
Clear it out, then clean it: one crew
We’re the Sacramento junk removal company that also cleans. Landlords, realtors and families clearing a home can book the haul-out and a move-out or deep clean together: one appointment, one invoice.
How an estate cleanout works
- 1Free walkthrough to see the home and agree on a price.
- 2Family removes keepsakes; we set aside anything else you ask us to look for.
- 3We clear the home, sorting donations, recycling and disposal.
- 4We clean the empty home so it’s ready to list, rent or return.
Clear, donate, clean: one team
Most estate cleanouts end with a deep or move-out clean. Doing both with one company means one schedule and one invoice. Move-out cleaning starts at $400.
Before anything is removed
What families should do before an estate cleanout
- 1Confirm who has authority. If the estate is in probate or held in a trust, check with the executor, trustee or attorney before anything leaves the house.
- 2Search for important papers: wills, deeds, titles, insurance policies, tax records, bank statements and keys.
- 3Walk through as a family and tag keepsakes and items being divided.
- 4Hold an estate sale or invite a buyer if there are valuable pieces. We can come after.
- 5Tell us what to watch for while we work: photos, letters, jewelry boxes, cash, firearms or medications.
We set aside anything that looks personal or valuable and hand it to you rather than deciding for you.
Typical size
How big is an estate cleanout?
| Home | Typical loads | Price guide |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1-bedroom apartment | About 1 full truck | $450–$600 |
| 2-bedroom home | About 1–2 full trucks | $450–$1200 |
| 3–4 bedroom home with garage | About 2–4 full trucks | Firm price after a walkthrough |
Homes that have been lived in for decades often have more in closets, attics and garages than anyone expects. The free walkthrough avoids surprises.
Family out of town?
Handling an estate cleanout from out of town
Many Sacramento estate cleanouts are arranged by children who live elsewhere. We can walk the home by video call, work from a lockbox, send photos as rooms are cleared, and finish with a deep or move-out clean so the home is ready for a realtor or property manager.
Compare your options
Cheapest way to get rid of it: DIY, dumpster, city pickup or a hauler?
| Option | What it really costs | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Haul it yourself | Truck rental or your own vehicle, fuel, transfer station fees, and your time and back | You have a truck, helpers and only a few items |
| Rent a dumpster | Rental for several days; a permit if it sits on the street; you still do all the loading | Long projects like a remodel where debris builds up over weeks |
| City or county curbside pickup | Free within yearly limits, but you carry everything to the curb and wait for an appointment | You can wait, can lift it yourself, and the pile fits the size limit |
| Apex Home Point | $75–$150 to $450–$600 by truck space, firm price on-site; we do all the lifting | You want it gone soon, it’s inside the home, or it’s too heavy or too much |
Many people mix options: they use the free curbside pickup for one bulky item, and book us for the rest of the garage or the heavy pieces upstairs.
Free options first
Free bulky item pickup across the Sacramento area
Before you pay anyone, check whether your city’s free curbside program fits. Rules differ by city:
| Where you live | Free pickups | How to book |
|---|---|---|
| City of Sacramento (including Natomas) | 2 household junk appointments a year, February–October; appliances and e-waste booked separately | Sacramento 311 |
| Unincorporated county (Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Arden-Arcade, Antelope, North Highlands) | 1 pickup per 12 months, up to 5 cubic yards | (916) 875-5555 |
| Elk Grove | Up to 3 a year, up to 5 cubic yards each | Republic Services, (916) 635-2500 |
| Folsom | Up to 3 a year for single-family homes, up to 5 cubic yards each | City of Folsom |
| Citrus Heights | 3 a year | Republic Services, (916) 638-9000 |
| Rancho Cordova | Scheduled through the city’s hauler | Atlas Disposal, (916) 288-2800 |
| Roseville, Rocklin, West Sacramento | Programs vary | Your city’s solid waste department |
Curbside programs need you to carry everything to the curb, wait for an appointment and stay under the size limit. Hire us when items are inside the home, when you need them gone sooner, or when the pile is bigger than the limit.

What to expect
How a junk pickup works, start to finish
- 1You text a photo or book a time. We reply with a price range based on how much truck space the load looks like it needs.
- 2We call or text when the crew is on the way, inside the arrival window you picked.
- 3The crew looks at everything in person and gives a firm price before anything is lifted. If it’s less than the range, you pay less; if you decide not to go ahead, there’s no charge.
- 4We carry everything out (from bedrooms, upstairs, the garage, the backyard or a storage unit) and protect doorways and floors along the way.
- 5We sweep or rake the spot where the items were, then sort the load: donation, recycling, and only what’s left goes to a licensed transfer station.
Most single-item and small-load pickups take under an hour on site. A full garage or a whole-home cleanout usually takes a few hours to a full day, depending on how much sorting you want done on the spot.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does an estate cleanout cost?

It depends on how much is in the home. A small apartment is often a full truck ($450–$600); a full house can take several loads. We give a firm price after a free walkthrough.
Do you provide donation receipts?
+
Yes, we provide donation receipts for items donated on your behalf.
What happens to items no one wants?
+
Usable items are donated, with receipts for the estate. Metals and electronics are recycled. Only what’s left goes to the transfer station.
Can you clean out a home that’s already listed?
+
Yes. We coordinate with the listing agent so the home is cleared and cleaned before showings.
How long does an estate cleanout take?
+
An apartment usually takes a day. A full house can take one to three days, depending on how much sorting the family wants.
