The Peregrine Difference
At Peregrine, our estate cleanouts are comprehensive, full-property services. We begin only after the family or executor has decided what items to keep, sell, donate, or dispose of. Our role is to respectfully clear the remaining contents according to your wishes, leaving the property clean and ready for the next steps. Most estate cleanouts on a 1,500–3,000 square foot home take 1–3 days. Once cleared, we work with you on additional services such as deep cleaning, minor repairs, remodeling, locksmith work, or security updates to prepare a move-in-ready property.

Full-property estate liquidation & cleanouts (1,500–5,000+ sq ft homes)

Our Process
Our estate process is designed to be efficient, transparent, and compassionate. It typically unfolds in three phases:
Pre-Cleanout
Coordination
The executor or family identifies heirlooms, keepsakes, items for estate sale/auction, and what remains for removal. We step in only after these decisions are made, focusing solely on the agreed-upon scope.
The Cleanout
Our team of 2–3 experienced loaders completes the work in 1–3 days. We sort items on-site (donation vs. disposal), maximize recycling and donation, and document the property with before-and-after photos.
Documentation
and Handoff
You receive weight tickets, donation receipts, and photo documentation; everything needed for probate or records. Our goal is a clean, presentable, move-in-ready property with minimal stress for your family.
Pricing
Pricing is based on property size and the volume of contents. A typical 1,500–2,000 square foot home with standard contents runs $2,500–$4,500 for a 1–2 day cleanout with a 2-person crew. Larger properties (3,000+ sq ft) or those with heavy contents generally range from $5,000–$12,000.
Our pricing includes all labor, truck capacity, responsible disposal, maximum donation/recycling efforts, and standard documentation. By prioritizing donations and recycling, we help reduce overall costs while keeping items out of the landfill.
Auction curation and liquidation services are typically charged at 5–10% of the final sale value (hammer price).
Deep cleaning, repairs, remodeling, locksmith, and security services are quoted separately from the main estate cleanout agreement.
