The unit that still has someone's whole life in it
Landlords and property managers know the moment. The unit is back in your hands, and the living room still has a sectional, a TV stand, bags of clothes, a dresser with the drawers half open and a kitchen full of unpacked boxes. Every day the unit sits like that is a day without rent, and the next tenant can't move into a room that is already full.
Our Jersey City apartment photos show that gap. The before shot is a living room crowded with a dresser, bins and furniture; the after shot is the same room nearly empty. Between the two pictures there is no repair work, only hauling, and that is the part most owners don't have a truck, a crew or a free Saturday to do.
Getting in, sorting scope and clearing the unit
Tell us the unit size and send a few photos or a short video, or text an item list. We give an estimate from that and confirm the final price when the crew arrives. Because you don't have to be present once access and scope are settled, a property manager can book the job from the office and keep the next showing on the calendar.
The crew handles everything physical: carrying from upstairs units by stairs or elevator, loading, hauling away and sweeping the floor at the end. They are in-house New Jersey employees, not subcontractors, and the 25 cubic yard truck means a full apartment doesn't need three trips. What can be donated or recycled is, rather than all of it going to disposal.
We don't advise on the legal side of a tenancy. We start once you confirm the unit is yours to clear and the scope is agreed, and then the work is simply carrying, loading and hauling. That keeps our crew on the job and the decisions about timing and notice with the people who are responsible for them.
What a turnover cleanout costs and how the unit looks after
Eviction cleanouts are priced by volume on our 25 cubic yard truck: $350 for a 1/16 load, $485 for 1/8, $685 for 1/4, $985 for 1/2, $1,685 for 3/4 and $1,985 for a full truck. Labor, loading, hauling, disposal fees and sweep-up are included. We don't charge by the hour, so the quote doesn't climb while the crew works.
Chemicals, wet paint, fuel, gasoline, propane tanks, pesticides, asbestos, medical waste and unknown liquids can't go on the truck, so leave those for separate handling. If something looks like it could be any of them, mention it when you send photos and we'll sort out what's possible before the crew shows up.
After the crew leaves, the unit is bare and swept, ready for a painter, a cleaner or a locksmith, whoever you send in next. In Hudson and Essex county buildings, where turnover windows are tight, a clear floor means the next trade can start the day it's ready.
