Estate Cleanouts in Rexburg & Southeastern Idaho

Losing a loved one is hard enough without the added weight of figuring out what to do with a lifetime of belongings. If you’re facing the task of clearing out an estate property in Rexburg or anywhere in Southeastern Idaho, ShapeUpIdaho is here to help carry that burden.

We provide estate cleanout services built around respect, patience, and thoroughness. We understand that every item in that home tells a story, and we treat the process accordingly. Our job is to make this transition as smooth and painless as possible for you and your family.

What Makes an Estate Cleanout Different

An estate cleanout isn’t a typical junk removal job. The circumstances are personal. The contents of the home represent a person’s entire life — their taste, their memories, their history. That’s why we approach every estate cleanout differently than a standard house cleanout.

Patience and Sensitivity

We never rush an estate cleanout. If you need time to go through the home and identify keepsakes before we start, take all the time you need. If you’d rather not be there during the cleanout, we understand that too. We work at whatever pace and in whatever manner makes this easiest for your family.

Thorough Sorting

In a typical junk removal job, the client has already decided what goes. With estate cleanouts, the sorting process is often part of the service. We go through the home methodically, room by room, separating items into categories:

• Keep — Items the family wants to retain
• Donate — Usable items that can benefit local families and organizations
• Sell — Items with significant resale value (we can advise, though we’re not appraisers)
• Recycle — Materials that can be responsibly recycled
• Dispose — Items that have reached the end of their usable life

Coordination With Multiple Parties

Estate cleanouts often involve more than just the family. We regularly work alongside:

• Estate attorneys and executors
• Real estate agents preparing a property for sale
• Financial advisors managing estate assets
• Other family members who may be out of state

We’re flexible, communicative, and professional in every interaction.

Common Estate Cleanout Scenarios

Every estate situation is unique, but here are the most common reasons families contact us:

After a Passing

This is the most common scenario. A family member has passed, and the home needs to be cleared — either for sale, transfer to another family member, or simply to close out the estate. We handle the physical work so the family can focus on grieving and healing.

Transition to Assisted Living

When a parent or grandparent moves from their home into an assisted living facility, the house often needs to be cleared and prepared for sale or rental. This can be just as emotional as a post-loss cleanout, and we bring the same level of care.

Long-Distance Estate Management

Many of our clients live outside Idaho and are managing an estate property remotely. Maybe a parent’s home is here in Rexburg, but the family is scattered across the country. We can handle the entire cleanout on your behalf, communicating via phone and email, sending photos of items we think you should see before we remove them.

Pre-Sale Property Preparation

Real estate agents often refer families to us when an estate property needs to be cleared before listing. A clean, empty home sells faster and typically brings a better price. We work within your listing timeline to get the property market-ready.

What We Remove During Estate Cleanouts

A full estate cleanout means clearing everything from the home. That includes:

• All furniture — beds, couches, tables, chairs, dressers, desks, and cabinets
• All kitchen contents — appliances, dishes, cookware, utensils, and pantry items
• All clothing, shoes, and accessories
• All bathroom items and linens
• All stored items — from basements, attics, garages, sheds, and closets
• All decorative items — paintings, mirrors, lamps, rugs, and curtains
• All outdoor items — patio furniture, grills, planters, and yard equipment
• All paperwork and documents (we can box these for the family to review if needed)

Basically, if it’s in the home and the family doesn’t want to keep it, we take it.

Our Process for Estate Cleanouts

1. Initial conversation. Call us at (662) 666-6494. We’ll talk through the situation, answer your questions, and schedule a walk-through at a time that works for you.

2. On-site walk-through. We tour the property with you (or with the estate’s representative). This is the time to identify anything the family wants to keep. We’ll note everything and provide a comprehensive quote that covers the full cleanout.

3. Family review period. If you need time to go through the home before we begin, we build that into the schedule. There’s no pressure to rush.

4. Cleanout. Our crew arrives and works room by room, carefully removing all designated items. We handle everything with respect — this isn’t a demolition job, it’s a transition.

5. Final walkthrough and donation. When the home is cleared, we do a final walk-through with you to make sure nothing was missed. Usable items are delivered to local charities throughout Southeastern Idaho. We can provide donation receipts for tax purposes.

Related Services

Estate cleanouts sometimes lead to additional work on the property. Here are services that often go hand in hand:

• House Cleanouts — If the estate cleanout is straightforward with less sorting needed, a standard house cleanout may be the right fit.
• Hoarding Cleanup — In cases where the home has excessive accumulation, our hoarding cleanup service provides the specialized approach needed.
• Furniture Removal — If most items have been claimed and just furniture remains, we can handle a targeted removal.
• Appliance Removal — Old appliances often need to go before a home can be listed. We haul them out and recycle them.
• Garage Cleanouts — Sometimes the house is clear but the garage still needs attention. We’ll take care of it.
