A Sunnyvale home often holds decades of belongings: the ranch house on a quiet Cherry Chase street, the garage full of tools and the closets nobody has opened in years. When a family member passes, the responsibility for it all can land on a few people at once.
Our estate cleanouts are built around that reality. You decide what stays, we help sort what goes to donation, and the crew hauls the rest. We work with family members, executors and the people who manage a property, and we move at the pace the situation needs.
How we work through an estate
- Walk-through by photoYou send pictures of each room, the garage and any outbuildings. We scope the job and give a free quote.
- Sort togetherKeep, donate or discard. Family members mark what they want, and we set aside donation items.
- Haul and broom-cleanThe crew carries out the rest, loads it and sweeps each room so the house is ready for the next step.
Probate cleanouts and clearing a home after a loved one passes
If you are an executor or a family member handling a home after a death, the contents usually need to be sorted before the house can be listed, rented or handed over. We offer a house cleanout after death with room for family to take what matters first, then donate usable items and haul the rest.
Timelines vary with the family, so we plan around yours, whether that means one visit or several. We offer practical help only; for questions about the estate itself, please speak with your attorney or advisor.
Typical estate jobs in Sunnyvale
- A long-held ranch home
Three bedrooms of furniture, a packed garage and a shed. The family keeps photos and a few heirlooms, and we donate the rest of the usable pieces.
- A downtown condo
A parent’s condo near Murphy Avenue needs to be cleared in stages, so we make two visits that fit the building’s elevator times.
- A garage and storage nook
The house has been mostly emptied, but the garage and a back storage area still hold years of boxes. We haul what remains.
What we sort, donate and haul
- Furniture and housewares
Sofas, dressers, dining sets, dishes and linens. Good pieces can go to donation.
- Garage and workshop contents
Tools, paint-free cabinets, shelving and storage bins.
- Yard and outdoor items
Patio sets, planters and garden equipment.
- Papers and boxes
Boxes of papers set aside for the family to check before anything is discarded.
Garage cleanout Sunnyvale: clearing the garage first
In many Sunnyvale tract homes the garage holds decades of tools, bikes, spare furniture and boxes from earlier moves. A garage cleanout Sunnyvale families schedule early gives everyone floor space to stage what is kept, donated or hauled, and it makes the rest of an estate or downsizing cleanout easier to see. We carry it out, load it and sweep the floor.
Paint and chemicals should be set aside for the county household hazardous waste appointment. For a garage on its own, see our garage cleanouts page.

Where the contents go
Usable furniture, clothing and household goods go to donation when we can. Metal goes to scrap, and the rest goes to a permitted facility. Sunnyvale’s SMaRT Station Recycling Center serves Mountain View and Sunnyvale residents and lists items like appliances and mattresses among those it takes, but that is a lot to haul alone during a hard time.
Paints and chemicals found in the garage should go to the county’s free household hazardous waste program by appointment, since we cannot take them.
