The attic, the crawlspace, the spots you dread
Basement & Attic Cleanouts in Southwest Louisiana
Key Takeaway
The Junk Guys clear attics, crawlspaces, and under-house storage across Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana. Most homes here have no true basement, so this is usually an attic plus under-house job, and the heat and tight access make it miserable to do alone. We do the climbing and carrying. A few items run from $99 curbside or $249 full service; a full attic is priced by volume, with a standard load $549.
Basement and attic cleanouts are about the storage spots nobody wants to climb into. The Junk Guys clear them for homeowners across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake, Moss Bluff, Iowa, and the rest of Calcasieu and Cameron Parish.
One honest local note: true basements are rare in Southwest Louisiana because of the high water table, so most homes are slab or pier-and-beam. In practice a basement cleanout here means the attic, the crawlspace, and the under-house storage. Wherever the buildup is, we pull it out so you do not have to crawl through insulation or haul boxes down a pull-down ladder.

The process
How it works
Show us the space
Send a photo of the attic or under-house area, or describe what is up there. We give you a price based on how much there is, from $99 for a curbside single item up to a volume-priced full clear.
We schedule around the heat
In summer we aim attic work for the cooler morning hours when we can. We bring the crew and the gear to handle the ladder and the tight access.
We pull it all out
Our crew goes up and in, carries everything out, and loads it. You do not climb the ladder or crawl under the house.
Donate, recycle, dispose, sweep
Usable items go to donation, metal and e-waste get recycled, the rest is disposed of responsibly, and we sweep the spot before we leave.
Pricing
How much does an attic or basement cleanout cost?
Attic and under-house cleanouts are priced by how much comes out and how hard the access is. A few items can fall in the single-item range; a full attic is a volume haul. You get the firm number on-site before any work starts.
A Few Items
from $99Curbside from $99 if you can get it down, or $249 full service when we go up and bring it out.
Full Attic or Crawlspace
By volumeA whole attic or under-house clear, priced by truck-and-trailer space. A standard load is $549; heavier volume scales up.
Tight hatches, long carries, and blown-insulation messes add labor, so we confirm the price on-site after we see the space. No surprises once we start.
Built for Southwest Louisiana
Why attics are the hardest room in a Gulf Coast house
An attic in Southwest Louisiana is brutal. Summer attic temperatures climb well past anything you want to work in, which is why we schedule attic clear-outs for the morning when we can. It is also why so much gets abandoned up there: people stop going up, and a decade of boxes piles up under the blown insulation.
The climate does its own damage. Particleboard furniture and cardboard stored in an unconditioned attic swell, warp, and grow mold in the humidity, so a lot of what we pull down is no longer worth keeping. We sort it, donate what is still good, and haul the rest.
Because true basements are rare here, the equivalent job is often the crawlspace or under-house storage on a pier-and-beam home. That is its own kind of miserable, tight, dirty, and low, and exactly the kind of access we are set up to handle so you never have to.
