A pre-sale cleanout gets a home ready to list, show, and close. The Junk Guys handle them for homeowners, realtors, and investors across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake, Moss Bluff, Iowa, and the rest of Calcasieu and Cameron Parish.

The process
How it works
Free estimate to your deadline
We walk the property or review photos, gauge the volume, and give you a flat price. Pre-sale cleanouts start at $897 depending on how full it is.
Scheduled before your listing date
Tell us when the photos, open house, or closing are, and we build the schedule to hit it. We work with realtors and agents on timelines regularly.
We clear it out
Our crew empties the interior, garage, attic, sheds, and yard of everything left behind. No sorting or staging required from you first.
Sweep and hand back show-ready
We sweep the space broom-clean, donate and recycle what we can, and dispose of the rest. You get back a property that shows and photographs well.
Pricing
How much does a pre-sale home cleanout cost?
Pre-sale cleanouts are priced by volume and scope, not by the hour. They start at $897 depending on how full the home and outbuildings are. Disposal and donation handling are included, and the price is firm before the crew arrives.
Pre-Sale / Real Estate Cleanout
from $897Clear a home before listing, photos, or closing. Leftover furniture, clutter, garage, and yard gone, space swept clean.
Full Estate Clear
from $1,497A larger, full-property clear, often a lifetime of belongings. Jobs over $1,500 include a roll-off dumpster.
Heavily packed homes, multiple outbuildings, or hazardous materials affect scope. We confirm the exact price at the free estimate so you know the full number before listing day.
Built for Southwest Louisiana
Why a fast cleanout protects your sale in Southwest Louisiana
In the Southwest Louisiana market, a home full of leftover junk does not photograph or show well, and buyers notice. A clean, empty space reads bigger and moves faster, which is why realtors call us to clear a property before the listing photos rather than after.
The climate adds a real deadline. A vacant home in this heat and humidity grows mold and draws pests within weeks, especially if contents are left sitting inside. Clearing it quickly protects the home's condition and its appraised value while it is on the market.
A detail sellers underestimate: a half-cleared garage tanks listing photos as much as a cluttered living room does. We clear the garage, attic, sheds, and yard in the same trip so the whole property shows, not just the rooms the photographer points the camera at.
