Attic Cleanouts in Rexburg & Southeastern Idaho

Nobody wants to crawl up into a hot, dusty attic and start hauling stuff down a ladder. It’s cramped, it’s uncomfortable, and half the time you don’t even remember what’s up there. That’s exactly why most attics become permanent storage for things that should have been thrown out years ago.

ShapeUpIdaho takes the attic cleanout off your hands — literally. We serve homeowners in Rexburg, Idaho Falls, and communities throughout Southeastern Idaho who need their attic space cleared out safely and efficiently.

The Problem With Attic Clutter

Attics are deceptive. Because you don’t see the mess every day, it’s easy to forget it’s there. But that accumulated clutter creates real problems:

• Added weight on your structure. Years of stored boxes, furniture, and materials add significant weight to your ceiling joists and rafters. This can cause structural stress over time.
• Fire hazards. Stacks of old paper, cardboard, and textiles sitting near electrical wiring or heating elements are a fire risk that most homeowners overlook.
• Pest habitat. Mice, squirrels, and insects love undisturbed attics full of nesting material. The more stuff up there, the more attractive it is to them.
• Insulation problems. Boxes and stored items can compress insulation, reducing its effectiveness and driving up your heating bills — something that matters a lot during Rexburg winters.
• Inaccessibility. When the attic is packed, you can’t access the areas you actually need to get to — ductwork, wiring, plumbing vents, or the roof deck.

What We Find in Attics

After hundreds of attic cleanouts across the region, we’ve encountered just about everything:

• Decades-old holiday decorations still in their original boxes
• Clothing and baby items from children who are now adults
• Stacks of old magazines, newspapers, and records
• Forgotten furniture pieces — chairs, tables, headboards
• Boxes of photos, documents, and keepsakes
• Old suitcases, trunks, and luggage
• Broken small appliances and outdated electronics
• Rolls of old insulation, carpet remnants, and building supplies

We approach every attic with care. If we find items that look like they could have sentimental or monetary value, we set them aside and check with you before removing anything.

Why Attic Cleanouts Need Professionals

This isn’t a job for a weekend warrior with a pickup truck. Attic cleanouts come with unique challenges that require experience and the right approach:

Safety First

Attics have limited flooring, exposed rafters, low clearance, and often poor lighting. One wrong step can put a foot through the ceiling of the room below. Our crew knows how to move safely in these spaces, distributing weight properly and working methodically to avoid damage to your home.

Getting Stuff Down

Everything in the attic has to come down through a small opening — a pull-down ladder, a scuttle hole, or a narrow stairway. Carrying heavy boxes, furniture, and oddly shaped items down from an attic is difficult and potentially dangerous. We have the techniques and equipment to do it without incident.

Dust and Air Quality

Attics are dusty environments, often contaminated with insulation fibers, rodent droppings, and decades of accumulated particulate matter. We wear proper protective equipment and take steps to minimize dust migration into your living areas during the cleanout.

Temperature Extremes

In the summer, Idaho attics can reach temperatures well above 120 degrees. In the winter, they’re freezing. We plan our work accordingly and take necessary precautions to keep our crew safe and productive regardless of conditions.

When to Schedule an Attic Cleanout

Here are the most common reasons Rexburg homeowners call us for attic work:

• Pre-sale preparation. Home inspectors always check the attic. A clear attic shows buyers the space is well-maintained and gives inspectors easy access to evaluate the roof structure and insulation.
• Insulation replacement. If you’re upgrading your attic insulation, everything up there needs to come out first. We clear the way so your insulation contractor can get to work.
• Roof repairs. Roofers need clear access to the attic from below. A packed attic slows down their work and adds to your roofing costs.
• Pest remediation. If you’ve had mice, bats, or other pests in the attic, removing contaminated stored items is often the first step in cleaning up the space.
• Converting the space. Thinking about finishing your attic into a bonus room or office? The cleanout is step one.

How the Process Works

1. Contact us. Call (662) 666-6494 or book through our website. Give us a general idea of the attic size and contents.

2. We take a look. We come to your home and inspect the attic. We assess the volume of items, the access situation, and any challenges, then provide a firm quote on the spot.

3. Cleanout day. Our crew arrives, sets up, and begins carefully bringing items down from the attic. We work efficiently but never rush — safety and protecting your home come first.

4. Cleanup and disposal. Once the attic is clear, we clean up any mess left in the hallway or rooms below. All removed items are sorted: donations to local charities, recyclables to the recycling center, and the rest to licensed disposal facilities.
