The Upper East Side cleanout: paperwork first, careful hands second

An apartment cleanout on the Upper East Side is rarely just about hauling — it's about the building. The neighborhood is wall-to-wall pre-war co-ops along Park and Fifth, white-glove condos, and doorman high-rises on Lexington, Third, and Second, and almost none of them let a crew work without a Certificate of Insurance on file and a service-elevator slot booked through the resident manager. So our cleanouts here start before the truck arrives: a $1M COI emailed to your managing agent within the hour, the freight window confirmed, building staff looped in.

The other half is the nature of the clear. A large share of UES cleanouts are generational — an estate being settled or a longtime resident downsizing — which means decades of furniture, case goods, china, books, and stored belongings, much of it genuine antique. Careful, blanket-wrapped handling is the default, and we work around anything an auction house, dealer, or appraiser is collecting, clearing only what you're discarding.

Whether it's a studio turnover near the hospitals or a full Park Avenue apartment, the price is flat — no elevator fee, no doorman-building surcharge, no floor charge — and you get before-and-after photos when it's done.

What Upper East Side clients say

★★★★★

"Cleared my mother's Park Avenue co-op after we settled the estate. COI to the managing agent within the hour, freight slot booked, and they left the pieces going to auction exactly as asked. Careful with everything, before-and-after photos. Couldn't have been smoother."

— Margaret H., Upper East Side
★★★★★

"Two-bedroom on Third Ave, full cleanout before a sale. Done in an afternoon on the service elevator, no fuss with the doorman, and the price was exactly the quote — no elevator fee like the last company tried."

— Robert F., Upper East Side
★★★★★

"Downsizing from a big Fifth Avenue apartment. They coordinated with my movers, took only what I was leaving, blanket-wrapped the antiques I was keeping aside. Respectful and professional."

— Susan K., Upper East Side

Frequently asked questions

A studio averages about $275–$450, a one-bedroom $400–$650, and a two-bedroom $600–$950; larger or fuller apartments are priced by the truckload, from $325 for a quarter truck up to $985 for a full 16-cubic-yard load. Upload photos for an exact itemized quote in seconds. No elevator or doorman-building surcharge.

My building requires a Certificate of Insurance. Can you handle it?

Yes — nearly every Park, Fifth, and Madison Avenue co-op requires it, and it's routine for us. We email a $1M general-liability COI plus umbrella to your managing agent within an hour of booking, naming the co-op as additional insured, and book the service-elevator window through the resident manager.

Can you do a full estate cleanout and leave the pieces going to auction?

Yes — estate downsizing is one of our most common Upper East Side jobs. Tell us what an auction house, dealer, or appraiser is collecting and we'll work around it, clearing the rest — furniture, books, china, electronics, and decades of stored belongings — with careful, blanket-wrapped handling of antiques.

Do I need to be there for the cleanout?

No. Many Upper East Side clients give building access instructions and let our vetted crew handle everything via the service elevator. You'll get before-and-after photos when it's done.

How fast can you clear an Upper East Side apartment?

Same-day is available, subject to the building's freight-elevator schedule. Most one- to two-bedroom cleanouts finish in 2–4 hours once the COI and slot are confirmed.
