Estate Cleanout · Chestnut Hill
Estate Cleanout in Chestnut Hill
A Chestnut Hill stone house holds a lot: a full basement, an attic under the roof, often a detached garage out back. Clearing one for an estate is a careful, multi-room job, and we treat it that way — padded floors, donation first, photos for family who can’t be there. A full truck is $732; many houses need more than one.
Belgian Block and Wissahickon Schist
Chestnut Hill’s main street is Germantown Avenue, paved in Belgian block with trolley tracks still set in it. The houses around it are built of local Wissahickon schist, and the Morris Arboretum sits at the neighborhood’s northern edge.
More than a quarter of the homes here are detached — unusual for Philadelphia — and with a large share of retirees in the neighborhood, estate and downsizing work is the heart of what we do here.

Discreet, Careful Work
Protecting the House
Stone thresholds, plaster walls and old wood floors are covered before heavy pieces move. The house is usually going on the market next.
Working With the Family
Keepsakes are set aside by room or with tape. Relatives far away get photos as each floor is cleared.
