Third-floor walk-up or 30th-floor high-rise, we'll clear the unit, and we already know how to work with the doorman, the freight elevator and the alley.
Free onsite estimate, no obligation
Full service: all the lifting, hauling and disposal included
Most of our Chicago work happens in apartments and condos: a tenant moving out who can't take the couch, a landlord turning over a unit, a condo owner clearing a parent's place in a Gold Coast high-rise. High-rises have their own rules, from freight elevator reservations and insurance certificates to padded walls and approved hours, and we deal with them every week, so you don't have to translate for us.
Walk-ups are simpler and heavier: everything comes down the stairs and out the back to the alley. The crew looks at the unit and the route out, gives you one firm price for the whole job, and gets right to work.

How Apartment & Condo Cleanouts Works
1
Book the unit
Call (312) 800-1940 or book online and let us know the floor, the building type, and whether there's a freight elevator.
2
Building paperwork
If your building needs a COI or an elevator reservation, tell us and we'll get it in place before the crew arrives.
3
The crew quotes and clears
One firm price on arrival, with the stairs, the elevator and the carry all included. We protect the hallways and clean up after ourselves.
4
Photos and a receipt
Handy for security-deposit questions, and for landlords documenting a turnover.
A Streeterville condo needed clearing: a couch, a living-room chair, a rug, a mattress and frame, a small treadmill and assorted household items. The building required a freight elevator reservation and a COI, both of which we handle every week.
A Lakeview condo needed to be completely cleared, every closet, the kitchen, a bedroom filled to the walls, with an on-site contact meeting the crew and payment on a card on file. The building's elevator was reserved for a three-hour morning window.
A property owner had a freshly renovated unit left full of loose belongings, clothing, toys, small household items, plus a wall-mounted TV that needed to come down without damaging the new drywall.
The crew looks at what's going and how it's getting out, whether that's stairs, a freight elevator or a long walk to the truck, and gives you one firm price before they start. No obligation.
My building requires a certificate of insurance. Can you provide one?
Yes, before the job. Just tell us who the building wants named.
Do you need the freight elevator reserved?
In most high-rises, yes, and the building's management will usually want the reservation in your name. We'll work within whatever window you get.
Do I need to be there?
You're welcome to be there, and most people are. If the items are in the alley or the garage, or the unit is vacant and a doorman, a lockbox or a door code can get the crew in, they can do the job without you. They'll text you before-and-after photos and take payment by phone or with a card on file.
Can you take a single item, like just a couch?
Yes. Single-item pickups are the most common job we do in the city. Take a look at couch removal and mattress removal.
I manage several buildings. Can you handle regular turnovers?
Yes, and property managers are a big part of our business. We invoice per unit or monthly. See our services for property managers.
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
The price is confirmed on site before anything moves, so there are no surprises on the invoice. How our pricing works →
