My mother died apartment clean out NYC

This is not a normal cleanout

Clearing out your mother’s apartment is an act of grief as much as logistics. We treat it that way.

If you’re reading this with a lease-end deadline from the landlord, or an estate attorney pressuring the sale — we can move fast when needed. If you have time and want to process photos and keepsakes carefully, we can spread it over weeks.

How we approach estate cleanouts

1. A walk-through first (optional, free). We meet you at the apartment. You show us what the volume looks like. We quote honestly. No pressure.
2. You separate what you want to keep. Put tape or stickers on anything that stays. Photos, jewelry, documents, meaningful items — we don’t touch those.
3. We handle the rest. Furniture, appliances, clothing, kitchen items, books, everything else gets sorted — donations, recycling, disposal.
4. Deliver what stays to where you want it. Usually a family member’s home. We can schedule drop-offs.

What we commonly find (and how we handle it)

• Photographs and albums. We separate these carefully. If you missed any, we’ll call before disposing.
• Documents. Tax records, social security cards, deeds — set aside in a clearly labeled box. We don’t read, just separate.
• Clothing. Good condition goes to donation (Goodwill, Salvation Army, local shelters). Worn-out goes to textile recycling.
• Jewelry and valuables. Anything that looks potentially valuable — we flag for you to review before disposal.
• Furniture with history. If a particular chair or table matters, tag it to save before we start.

Prices are base rates. Minimum order $75.

Timeline flexibility

Some families want it done in a day. Others take months. Both are fine. Call us to discuss.
