Basement Cleanouts in Rexburg & Southeastern Idaho

Out of sight, out of mind — that’s basically the motto of every basement in America. It starts with a few boxes after a move. Then the holiday decorations pile up. Then the kids’ old toys, the exercise bike nobody rides, the furniture that got replaced upstairs. Fast forward a few years and you can barely get down the stairs.

Sound familiar? ShapeUpIdaho provides professional basement cleanouts for homeowners across Rexburg and Southeastern Idaho. We go down there so you don’t have to — and we bring everything back up, load it, and haul it away.

Why Basements Are the Hardest Room to Clean Out

A basement cleanout isn’t like clearing out a bedroom or a living room. There are real challenges that make this particular job one of the toughest in the house:

The Stair Problem

Everything in your basement got down there one item at a time over the course of years. Now it all has to come back up those same stairs in a single day. That’s a lot of heavy lifting on a narrow, steep staircase — and it’s exactly why so many homeowners put this job off indefinitely.

Our crew does this every week. We know how to carry awkward, heavy items up tight stairways without damaging your walls, your floors, or ourselves.

The “I Might Need This Someday” Factor

Basements are where things go when you’re not ready to throw them away but don’t have room for them upstairs. That means a lot of the stuff down there exists in a gray area — not quite trash, not quite useful. We’re patient. We’ll work with you to figure out what stays, what goes, and what gets donated.

Moisture and Damage

Idaho basements can be damp, especially in older homes. Water damage, mildew, and general decay can make stored items heavier, messier, and harder to deal with. We’ve handled plenty of basements where things have been sitting in moisture for years. We come prepared with the right equipment and protective gear.

What We Haul Out of Basements

Over the years, we’ve removed just about everything you can imagine from basements in Rexburg and the surrounding area:

• Furniture: Old couches, tables, chairs, bookshelves, entertainment centers, and bed frames that migrated downstairs during a remodel or upgrade.
• Storage boxes: Dozens (sometimes hundreds) of cardboard boxes and plastic totes full of clothes, papers, toys, kitchen items, and miscellaneous belongings.
• Appliances: Spare refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, old washers and dryers that were never removed after replacements went in upstairs.
• Exercise equipment: Treadmills, weight benches, stationary bikes, and ellipticals that served as expensive coat racks.
• Building materials: Leftover lumber, drywall, tile, and supplies from past home improvement projects.
• Seasonal items: Holiday decorations, camping gear, and sporting equipment that accumulated over the years.
• General junk: Broken items, outdated electronics, expired goods, and everything else that ended up in the “I’ll deal with it later” pile.

Situations That Lead to a Basement Cleanout

People reach out to us for basement cleanouts for all sorts of reasons:

• Finishing the basement. Turning an unfinished basement into a living space, rec room, or home office? Step one is getting all the stored junk out of there.
• Selling the home. A cluttered basement gives buyers the impression the house lacks storage. An empty, clean basement tells them there’s plenty of room.
• Water damage cleanup. After a flood or persistent leak, everything down there may need to go so restoration work can begin.
• Downsizing. Moving to a smaller home or a place without a basement means all that stored stuff has to be dealt with.
• General reclaiming of space. Sometimes you just look down those stairs and decide today is the day you take your basement back.

How Our Basement Cleanout Service Works

Step 1: Get in touch. Call us at (662) 666-6494 or use the contact form on our site. Tell us about the basement — rough size, how full it is, whether there are any access challenges — and we’ll schedule a time to come see it in person.

Step 2: We assess and quote. Our team walks the basement with you. We look at everything that needs to go and give you a written, all-inclusive price. That price covers labor, hauling up the stairs, truck loading, transportation, and disposal. No hidden charges.

Step 3: We clear it out. On cleanout day, our crew shows up ready to work. We bring everything up, load the trucks, and keep going until the basement is empty. If you want to supervise, you’re welcome to. If you’d rather wait upstairs, that’s fine too.

Step 4: Cleanup and sorting. Once the space is clear, we sweep up dust and debris. Usable items get routed to local donation centers. Recyclable materials go to recycling. The rest is disposed of at licensed facilities.

Related Services

A basement cleanout often connects to other work we do. Take a look at these related services:

• House Cleanouts — If the whole house needs clearing, not just the basement, we handle that too.
• Garage Cleanouts — Garages and basements are storage twins. We can knock out both at the same time.
• Attic Cleanouts — The other hidden storage zone. Let us clear the attic while we’re at it.
• Furniture Removal — Just a few large pieces to haul out? We can do a quick pickup instead of a full cleanout.
• Appliance Removal — That old chest freezer or broken washer sitting in the basement? We’ll get it out of there.
