Whole-property clearing across Ajax — Pickering Village, Nottingham, Riverside, Duffin Heights and the lakeshore. Licensed, insured, and priced in writing before anything moves.
Ajax grew in waves, and the housing stock shows it. The older streets around Pickering Village and Harwood south of the 401 hold properties that have been in the same family for thirty or forty years, with full basements, detached garages and the kind of accumulated storage that only becomes visible when someone has to clear it. These are the estate and downsizing jobs we are usually called for in Ajax, and they are rarely one truckload.
The Riverside and lakeshore pockets have an older demographic and a steady flow of downsizing moves — a large family home traded for a condominium or a retirement residence, with forty years of contents that will not fit. We handle the clearing side of that: what goes to the new place is boxed and left, what the family wants is set aside, usable goods are routed to Durham charities, and the house is handed back showable for the agent.
North Ajax and Duffin Heights are newer, and the work there looks different — basement finishing debris, deck teardowns, builder leave-behinds, and the contents of a garage that has been the staging area for two years of projects. Renovation debris is priced by volume and weight with scale tickets provided, so the invoice reconciles against the scale rather than an estimate.
Durham Region does collect furniture and large items, but at a pace that suits a couple of pieces rather than a property. For a full estate, a basement or a garage, waiting out a two-item-per-cycle schedule is not realistic, which is when a single-visit clearing makes more sense.

We walk the space, give you a number in writing, and that number is what you pay. No hourly creep, no surprises when the trailer is full. A 30% deposit confirms the booking and comes off the final invoice.
MECP registered waste carrier R-004-5477911257 and $2M liability insurance. Floor runners, door-frame protection, and crews who carry rather than drag.
Usable furniture goes to a charity, scrap metal goes to a recycler, and electronics go to proper e-waste. Landfill is the last resort, not the default.
Every job ends with a sweep at minimum. Choose a higher finish level and it ends degreased, deep-vacuumed and detailed.
We are building our reputation one cleanout at a time. Before-and-after photographs from Ajax jobs and verified Google reviews from Ajax clients go up on our Google Business Profile as we earn them — never stock imagery, never invented testimonials.
Estate cleanouts start at $2,000 for a standard clear and $3,200 for our Signature finish. Pre-listing cleanouts start at $1,500, hoarding projects at $4,000, and commercial work at $2,500. Your exact price depends on volume, weight, access and the finish level you choose, and it is fixed in writing at a free on-site valuation before a single item moves. A 30% deposit confirms the booking and comes off the final invoice.
