How to choose a company in San Francisco
Confirm the company is licensed and insured — ask for a certificate before any crew enters the home.
Get an itemized written estimate, not a phone ballpark; walk-throughs surface hidden volume (attics, garages, basements).
Ask how they handle donations and consignment — a good crew offsets your cost by rehoming or reselling usable items.
Understand what drives the price: total volume, stairs, heavy items, and San Francisco County landfill or transfer-station fees.
Pin down the timeline — smaller San Francisco homes are often one day; larger estates run two to three with donation runs.
Questions to ask before you hire
Will you sweep and tidy the property when the cleanout is finished?
Can you work around a probate timeline or a realtor's listing date?
Is the quote all-in, or do dump fees and labor get added later?
Do you donate or consign usable items, and do I get receipts for donations?
Are you insured, and what happens if something is damaged?
Many San Francisco providers also handle dumpster rental, biohazard & after-death cleaning and storage containers.
