Clearing out an estate is rarely just about the junk — it's often a hard time, and you want it handled with care. This guide gives the real 2026 cost of an estate cleanout in Southwest Louisiana, what's included, and what moves the price.
How much does an estate cleanout cost?
The Junk Guys price estate cleanouts by the size of the job — how much property has to be cleared and how much volume comes out. Pricing scales from a single packed room up through a full multi-room home.
| Service | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Estate Cleanout | from $1,497 | Full-property clearouts; jobs over $1,500 include a roll-off dumpster |
| Move-Out / Property Cleanout | from $897 | Clearing a rental or sale before listing, closing, or handover |
| Standard Junk Haul | $549 | A single room or a partial clear |
What's included in an estate cleanout?
- All the labor — the crew clears the whole property, room by room, with no lifting on you.
- Hauling everything off in one coordinated job.
- Donation of usable furniture and household goods to local charities where possible.
- Recycling of metal and e-waste, and responsible disposal of the rest.
- A roll-off dumpster on jobs over $1,500, so even the largest properties are handled in one pass.
What changes the price of an estate cleanout?
- Size of the property — a small home clears faster and cheaper than a packed multi-room estate.
- Volume of belongings — decades of accumulation take more labor and haul space.
- Access — stairs, narrow halls, and outbuildings add time.
- Sorting needs — if family items have to be set aside as the crew works, that adds time versus a full clear.
- Hazardous materials — paint, chemicals, and similar items need a custom quote and may be handled separately.
