Professional Estate Clearing & Cleanout Services in New Jersey

In the 10 years we’ve worked in homes all throughout New Jersey, we’ve seen first hand how diverse it really is. From a one bedroom apartment in Jersey City on a bustling city street, to large acreages in Salem, nestled within miles of open land – each neighborhood requires a unique set of skills, all of which our team has experience with, first hand.

New Jersey’s northeast region has numerous upscale neighborhoods, like Tenafly and Alpine, that run along the Hudson River. With an average sized home of 6,500 sq. ft. in Alpine, it can be incredibly overwhelming to take on the job of organizing and clearing through all of its contents. These large, luxury homes can come with a very unique set of challenges – from the sheer volume of belongings to the physical demand of moving things through a home that size. 

Though many neighborhoods throughout the state highlight large homes and plots of land, there are also quite a few urban neighborhoods that present their own challenges, like Jersey City and Hoboken. With 79% of homes in Hoboken being apartments – from high rise buildings with strict moving regulations to walk-ups with narrow stairways – urban NJ neighborhoods can present their own unique challenges. Though Hoboken presents unique challenges, its close proximity to NYC via the Holland Tunnel allows access to the very best appraisers, designers, and other home professionals within our network that can serve your every need. 

We take the same structured approach every time, whether the home is 500 or 5,000 sq. ft, so you can rest assured your most valuable belongings are in good hands. Our goal is to allow our clients to focus on themselves through this challenging time, while we handle the logistics.

Stephanie and Judy were amazing and my husband could not have been happier with how everything went (as of course was I). They were so professional and so nice that it made the day go by so quickly. If only everything in life was this easy. We may want to use Done and Done again this summer when we move to our new home out East. Again, thank you so much for all of your assistance.

Our Process

We follow a five step process that allows us to tackle estate cleanouts in the most efficient way possible.

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment
We start by scheduling a consultation so we can access the scope of the project and ensure that we fully understand the needs, desired timeline and top priorities.



Step 2: Planning & Organization
Next, our team develops a personalized plan that outlines all the key details of the project. This plan includes our strategy for efficiently managing the estate, the resources required to execute it, and an estimated timeline for completion.
Step 3: Sorting & Decluttering
Once we’ve agreed on a plan of action, our team will jump right into action. We’ll work through sorting all belongings, identifying what items are going to be kept, what may require a professional appraisal, items for donation, and what things will be thrown away.
Step 4: Distribution & Clearing
Once everything has been sorted and organized, our team will take care of clearing the property and ensuring each item is properly distributed. We’ll coordinate appointments with top appraisers, arrange donations to local charities, and manage the recycling and disposal of any items that are no longer usable.
Step 5: Documentation & Review
Our team can help with any necessary documentation - from detailed inventories of all the items that you’ve chosen to keep to organizing tax documents for any donations. Once the project has been completed and sufficiently documented, we’ll do a final walk through to ensure the space is cleared to your expectation and that you’re fully satisfied.
