Most contractors will not publish a number. These are real ranges for real projects, with the conditions that move them stated plainly. Your exact price is fixed in writing at a free on-site assessment.
| Service | Price range | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|
| Estate Complete Clearance Whole property to broom-clean. Documents and valuables set aside and itemised, donation receipts, dated photographs for the estate file. | $2,000 – $7,000+ | Property size, how full, access, finish level |
| Hoarder House & Heavy Clutter Room-by-room excavation at the resident’s pace. Unmarked arrival. Valuables and documents recovered and returned. | $4,000 – $12,000+ | Volume, carry distance, number of days, disposal tonnage |

Estate cleanouts run $2,000 to $7,000+. A standard clear starts at $2,000; the Signature finish, which adds deep cleaning, Keep & Cherish item delivery and a photographed handover, starts at $3,200. Larger properties with full garages, sheds or workshops reach about $4,500. The price is fixed in writing at a free on-site assessment before anything moves.
Tier 1 hoarding cleanouts — heavy clutter, one or two levels, normal structural access — start at $4,000 and usually take two to four working days. Tier 2 and above, meaning severe accumulation, blocked access or multi-level scope, runs $8,000 to $12,000 or more and is quoted after a confidential walkthrough. Nobody can price a hoarding property honestly over the phone.
Because the equipment is built for projects. Mobilising a commercial hydraulic dump trailer and a crew for a single couch costs you more than a one-tonne outfit would charge, and we would rather say so than quote you badly. The one published exception is hot tub and spa removal from $550, or from $900 with the surrounding deck.
No. On a $6,000 project a phone estimate has to be padded to protect us, and you end up paying for our guesswork. The on-site assessment is free, takes about twenty minutes, and the number written down is the number you pay. You can also send photos or a twenty-second video walkthrough for a realistic range before we attend.
Every booking is confirmed with a 30% deposit, which holds the crew, the equipment and the disposal window — all three reserved in advance on project work. It comes straight off the final invoice, and the balance is due on completion after you have walked the site with us.
All published prices are before HST. Heavy materials — soil, concrete, shingles, tile and pool sand — are priced by the tonne with scale tickets provided, so that portion of the invoice reconciles against the weighbridge rather than against an estimate.
Access, almost always, rather than volume. Carry distance from the property to the trailer, stairs without a walk-out, laneway or permit-only parking, a booked service elevator, and disposal tonnage are the five factors that move a number most. A Toronto semi with a cellar staircase can cost more to clear than a larger suburban house.
No. Everything is priced by the project and fixed in writing before work begins. Hourly pricing transfers the risk of a slow day onto you, and on a multi-day clearance that risk is substantial.
Free on-site assessment, about twenty minutes. Or send photos and a twenty-second video for a realistic range first.
