What does a property cleanout include?
We clear the property — and then we clean it. Trash-out, apartment cleanout, foreclosure cleanup, estate cleanout across Greater Birmingham.
That second part is the point. A junk hauler empties a property and leaves you standing in an empty filthy room — still needing a cleaner, a second invoice, and a second week.
We do both — billed as two line items, on one invoice. The trash-out clears the property. The clean is quoted separately, at turnover rates. One vendor, one schedule, one week instead of two.
A full unit isn't costing you a little. It's blocking everything.
A cleanout isn't a cost. It's the thing that stops the bleeding.
A unit full of someone else's belongings can't be repaired, cleaned, photographed, or shown. Every clock is running and not one of them can be stopped, because nothing downstream can start:
| Still running while it sits full | |
|---|---|
| Rent not collected | $38–45/day |
| Or, if it's a flip: full carryInterest, Class II property tax, vacant insurance, utilities | ~$72/day |
| RepairsCan't start | Blocked |
| Cleaning, photos, showingsCan't start | Blocked |
The DIY math is the trap. A landlord clearing a heavy unit himself across three weekends burns roughly 20 days of blocked recovery:
$760–$900
In rent alone — to avoid a $300 minimum. On a financed flip at ~$72/day, those same 20 days cost about $1,440.
Junk haulers will empty a unit and leave. Cleaning companies often won't touch heavy debris at all. That gap is exactly where recovery timelines break down — the property is half-handled and nobody owns the rest.
We take it from cleared-out to leasing-ready. One vendor. One invoice.
What do you clear out?
- Furniture, mattresses, and household goods
- Appliances, including removal and disposal
- Personal belongings left behind
- Construction and renovation debris
- Yard waste and exterior debris
- Garage, attic, basement, and storage clearing
- General trash and accumulated waste
Then the deep clean — a separate line item. Once the property is empty it gets the full treatment: kitchen, bathrooms, floors, fixtures, odor. Priced at turnover rates, not bundled into the trash-out minimum.
What a cleanout actually looks like
One Birmingham property. Cleared, then cleaned.
When do you need a property cleanout?
Trash-out / junk removal
Distressed and pre-renovation properties full of debris. Cleared, disposed of, and cleaned. $300 minimum, quoted after on-site evaluation based on volume, appliance removal, and disposal logistics.
Apartment cleanout
Units left full after a tenant departs. Belongings out, property cleaned, back in the leasing rotation.
Foreclosure cleanup
Bank-owned and REO properties that have sat vacant or been left in poor condition. Cleared, cleaned, and documented.
Estate & probate cleanout
Inherited homes and estate properties. This work needs a light hand as well as a strong back — families are often dealing with a loss while dealing with a house. We work carefully, we set aside anything that looks like it matters, and we call before anything goes in the truck.
Eviction set-out
Kidoti Clean handles post-eviction property clearing and cleaning. This work is coordinated case by case and requires all of the following before we schedule:
- A court-issued Writ of Restitution, Writ of Possession, or Set-Out Order
- The set-out performed in the presence of the sheriff
- Written property manager or owner authorization
We do not perform set-outs without a court order and sheriff present. Contact us to discuss requirements.
Do you document the work?
Yes. Before-and-after photos on request — useful for owner records, insurance, investor reporting, and eviction files.
Who is this for?
Property managers dealing with an abandoned or left-full unit that has to get back in the leasing rotation.
Investors who bought a distressed property and need it cleared before the rehab can even start.
Families and executors handling an estate or inherited home.
Banks, servicers, and REO managers handling foreclosed property.
Why won't a junk hauler do?
Because most of them will only do half the job. Cleaning companies won't touch an eviction or a heavy trash-out. Junk haulers empty a property and leave it filthy. Two vendors, two invoices, two standards — and you holding the schedule together.
Kidoti does the whole transition. Cleanout, trash-out, deep clean, post-construction, rehab, listing prep. Why we built it this way →
What condition will the property be left in?
One of four, and we tell you which before we start. Every job runs a written scope checklist — you get the same copy we do. We bring commercial-grade equipment and all supplies; you provide access. Photo documentation on request.
Scheduling depends on scope. Timeline is confirmed after assessment. For urgent turnarounds, call 205-222-4602 directly. Preferred Partners receive priority scheduling.
