Estate & Basement Cleanout Portland
Estate Cleanouts in Portland
Settling a parent’s house in Portland usually means three floors, not one: the rooms upstairs, the attic above them, and a full basement that quietly held everything nobody wanted to decide about. We clear all of it, priced by how much of the truck it fills — $431 for half a load, $732 for a full one.
Donation comes first, which is how most Portland families want it. Keepsakes stay exactly where you mark them.

Basement and Attic Cleanouts
The typical City of Portland home dates to 1966, and neighborhoods like Irvington, Buckman and St. Johns are older still. That makes basement and attic work the signature Portland job.
Narrow Stairs
Old basement stairs are steep, with a tight turn at the top. Big pieces come apart before they come up.
Low Ceilings
Plenty of these basements have low ceilings, so the work is slow and careful — and it’s already in the price.
Daylight Basements
On sloped lots in the West Hills and around Mt. Tabor, the basement opens to the yard, which makes the carry much easier.
Attic Hatches
Boxes and old furniture come down through the hatch or the pull-down stairs, one careful load at a time.
How an Estate Cleanout Runs
1. Walk it with your phone
Photograph each room, the basement and the attic. We send back a volume estimate and a flat price.
2. Mark what stays
Tape, sticky notes or one room set aside — whatever is easiest. The crew takes only what’s marked to go.
3. Cleared and sorted
Usable furniture and housewares go to donation, electronics to recycling, and the rest to a licensed transfer station.
For Families and Executors
Out of Town
Many executors live elsewhere. Approve the quote from photos, have a neighbor or agent let the crew in, and follow along through the pictures we send.
Before a Sale
Empty rooms photograph better and inspections go smoother. We can work to your agent’s listing date.

Estate Cleanout FAQs
How much does an estate cleanout cost in Portland?
It’s priced by volume: $241 for a quarter truck, $431 for half, $732 for a full sixteen-yard load. Houses with full basements and attics may need more than one.
Do you clean out basements and attics?
Yes. Basement stairs and attic hatches are part of the job and part of the price.
Can the family choose what stays?
Yes. Mark keepsakes or set them aside in one room, and the crew leaves them untouched.
Where do usable things go?
Furniture and housewares in good shape go to donation before anything is disposed of.
Can you remove a piano from an estate?
Yes. An upright piano is $290, moved by the crew on a piano dolly.
Is there tax on an estate cleanout?
Oregon has no sales tax. A cleanout in Clark County, Washington carries the state’s 3.6% solid-waste collection tax.
How long does a full house take?
It depends on how much is there. The quote spells out whether the job fits one visit or needs more than one load.
