Summer is the busiest time of year for cleaning up around the house. The weather is finally good enough to spend a whole Saturday in the garage. Kids are out of school and moving stuff around the house. And a lot of us are staring down a shed or backyard that’s been quietly filling up with junk since last fall.
We see it every July. Garages packed with stuff nobody uses anymore. Sheds that turned into storage units for broken lawn equipment. Yards with old furniture, fencing, or a hot tub that stopped working two summers ago.
If that sounds like your place, here’s how we’d tackle it.
Start With the Garage
The garage is usually the easiest place to make a big visible difference fast. Old paint cans, broken tools, bikes nobody rides, and boxes from a move three years ago tend to pile up here more than anywhere else in the house.
A few things we haul out of garages constantly this time of year.
Old furniture that got moved out of the house and never made it any further Paint, chemicals, and other garage clutter that’s been sitting for years Broken lawn equipment and mowers Sports gear, bikes, and toys nobody uses anymore
Once the big stuff is gone, the garage almost always feels twice as big.
The Shed Is Usually Worse Than People Think
Sheds get forgotten. Stuff goes in and never comes back out. By the time summer rolls around, a lot of homeowners realize the shed itself needs to go, not just what’s inside it.
We handle full shed demo and removal, not just clearing out the contents. If the shed is falling apart or you’re just done with it, we can take the whole structure down and haul it away in one visit.
Yard Waste and Backyard Junk
Summer is when backyards get used the most, which also means it’s when people finally notice what’s been sitting back there for years.
Old decking, fencing, and yard debris Broken patio furniture Yard waste from spring and early summer cleanup Hot tubs that stopped working and are just taking up space
Hot tub removal is one of our most requested summer jobs. They’re heavy, awkward, and most homeowners have no way to move one on their own. We handle the demo and full removal so you get that corner of the yard back.
How We Price Summer Cleanouts
We price every job based on volume, meaning how much space your stuff takes up in our truck, not by the hour and not by guessing.
Our truck holds 18.5 cubic yards, and we break pricing into different load sizes so you’re only paying for the space you actually use.
Once we see everything in person, we’ll give you the exact load size and cost before anything gets loaded up. No surprises, and no payment until the job is done.
