Most of our Chicago work is 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 — freight elevator reservations, insurance certificates, padded walls, approved hours — and we deal with them weekly, 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, quotes one firm price for the whole job, and gets to work.

What We Take

  • Couches, sectionals and mattresses
  • Bed frames, dressers and tables
  • Boxes, bags and leftover move-out clutter
  • Appliances and window AC units
  • TVs, electronics and small appliances
  • Rugs, curtains and shelving
  • Balcony furniture and grills
  • Everything a tenant left behind (see eviction cleanouts)

How Apartment & Condo Cleanouts Works

  1. 1

    Book the unit

    Call (312) 800-1940 or book online with the floor, the building type, and whether there's a freight elevator.

  2. 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. 3

    Crew quotes and clears

    One firm price on arrival — stairs, elevator and the carry are part of it. We protect hallways and clean up after ourselves.

  4. 4

    Photos and receipt

    Handy for security-deposit disputes and for landlords documenting a turnover.

Real Jobs, Real Results

Chicago — Streeterville

High-Rise Condo Cleared Through the Freight Elevator — Streeterville, Chicago

A Streeterville condo needed clearing: a couch, living-room chair, rug, mattress and frame, a small treadmill and assorted household items. The building required a freight elevator reservation and a COI. The freight elevator was reserved for the 8–11 a.m. window and the crew cleared the unit inside it. Payment ran on the card on file, so the owner didn't need to be present. High-rise jobs live and die by the elevator window. We book it, we make it, and you don't have to be there.

Chicago — Lakeview

One-Bedroom Condo Cleared to Bare Walls — Lakeview, Chicago

A Lakeview condo unit 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. The crew bagged, boxed and carried for the full window, bringing everything down to the truck at the curb. The unit was swept and photographed empty. If you can't be there, appoint someone with a key and leave a card on file. We'll send the empty-room photos when we're done.

Chicago — Back of the Yards

Move-Out Leftovers Cleared, Mounted TV Taken Down — Back of the Yards, Chicago

A property owner had a 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 brought tools, unmounted the TV and removed the bracket, bagged the loose items, and swept every room including the finished basement level. The TV went to electronics recycling. Tell us if something's mounted or bolted down — the crew brings the tools and takes it off cleanly.

Apartment & Condo Cleanouts FAQs

How is an apartment cleanout priced?

The crew looks at what's going and how it's getting out — stairs, freight elevator, distance 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. Tell us who the building wants named.

Do you need the freight elevator reserved?

In most high-rises, yes — the building's management will want the reservation in your name. We'll work within the window you get.

Do I need to be there?

No. A doorman, a property manager or a door code gets the crew in; they text you the price for approval, do the job, and send photos. Payment by phone or card on file.

Can you take a single item, like just a couch?

Yes. Single-item pickups are our most common job in the city. See couch removal and mattress removal.

I manage several buildings. Can you handle regular turnovers?

Yes — property managers are a big part of our business. Invoiced per unit or monthly. See services for property managers.

Free Onsite Estimate, One Firm Price

We don't quote by phone. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out — stairs, elevators, heavy material — and gives you one number that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job on the spot. Say no and there's no charge.

  • All labor, lifting & loading
  • Hauling & transport
  • Dismantling in place
  • Full cleanup & sweep-up
  • Disposal & recycling fees

The price is confirmed on site before anything moves — no surprises on the invoice. How our pricing works →
