Free Estimate & On-Site Visit
Every garage cleanout begins with a free, no-obligation on-site visit. Our team arrives at your location to assess the size of the garage, the volume of clutter, and any special considerations such as bulky or hazardous items. We’ll provide you with a detailed and accurate quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect—no hidden fees or surprises. We’re committed to transparency and clear communication, ensuring you feel confident in moving forward. With Kraken Junk Removal, your garage cleanout starts with honest pricing and a friendly, professional assessment tailored to your specific needs.

Set Your Schedule
Once you approve the estimate, we’ll work with you to set a time that’s convenient for your schedule. Need it done urgently? We often offer same-day or next-day garage cleanouts in your area. Whether you prefer mornings, evenings, or weekends, we provide flexible scheduling to make the process as smooth as possible. You don’t need to rearrange your life—just pick the time that works for you, and we’ll take care of the rest. At Kraken Junk Removal, our goal is to provide dependable service on your terms, making your garage transformation quick, stress-free, and perfectly timed.

Sorting Items
Before we start hauling things away, we help you sort through the items in your garage. Together, we identify what you want to keep, what can be donated, what should be recycled, and what needs to be discarded. Our team provides guidance and support during this step, especially when it comes to decluttering sentimental or hard-to-organize belongings. This sorting process is essential in making sure valuable items are saved and reusable goods find a second life. With a clear plan in place, your garage cleanout becomes organized, efficient, and tailored to your unique needs and priorities.

Full Junk Removal
After sorting, our crew jumps into full junk removal mode. We lift, load, and haul away everything you no longer need—whether it's old tools, broken appliances, outdated furniture, boxes of clutter, or unused sporting equipment. No job is too big or too small. Our team is trained to handle heavy lifting, tight spaces, and awkward items safely and efficiently. You won’t have to touch a thing—we do all the work from start to finish. With Kraken Junk Removal, your garage cleanout is powered by muscle, care, and professionalism, leaving you with zero hassle and zero junk.

Sweep and Tidy Up
Once the junk is cleared out, we don’t just leave you with an empty space—we make sure it’s clean and ready for use. Our team sweeps the floors, collects any loose debris, and performs a basic tidy-up of the area. The result? A fresh, clutter-free garage that’s ready for parking, storage, or even your next DIY project. We believe a clean finish matters just as much as the cleanout itself. That’s why Kraken Junk Removal goes the extra mile to leave your space not just empty—but refreshed and functional, so you can make the most of your garage again.

Final Walkthrough
Before we wrap up, we walk through the entire garage with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. We double-check that all requested items were removed, all spaces are clean, and nothing important was overlooked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and if there’s anything else we can do before we leave, we’ll handle it right away. Kraken Junk Removal doesn’t consider your garage cleanout complete until you give us the final thumbs-up. Our commitment to customer service, attention to detail, and follow-through are what set us apart—and why clients trust us again and again.
