Garage, Basement & Attic Clearing

The overstuffed attic, the basement bursting with junk, the garage with no room for a car.

Where the space went

The call is almost always about one door you have stopped opening. The attic where the stairs are blocked, the basement where the boxes now reach the joists, the shed that holds more than it should, the garage where the car has sat outside for years. Houses around Killingworth have plenty of attic and basement, and those rooms fill slowly, a box at a time, until nobody can reach the back wall.

None of it feels urgent, which is why it sits. Then something forces the issue: a sale, a repair crew that needs to get to the furnace, a spare room that suddenly has to be a bedroom, a relative's belongings arriving with nowhere to go.

Nearest the door first, then back to the wall

Steve looks at the space before quoting, in person, and the initial quote comes from what is actually in it. The walk-through also settles the order: what has to leave before anything else can move, what you want to keep, and what stays put no matter how the room looks, like the water heater, the oil tank and the panel.

Attics and tight stairs go slowly and by hand, so loads come down in pieces a person can carry. Basements are cleared toward the stairs. Garages and sheds are emptied out onto the driveway, sorted into keep and go, then the room is swept. Text 860-227-3403 with what you are looking at and you will get a quick response.

A room you can use again

The result is an attic where you can see the floor, a basement with the concrete showing and the mechanicals reachable, a shed with room for the mower, a garage where the car fits. Floor you can see is also floor that a plumber, an inspector or an oil delivery driver can get to.

If the clear-out is part of settling a family home, the same crew does the rest of the house. Mess Haul Men is experienced, reliable, affordable, local and insured, and references are available upon request.
