Estate Cleanout · East Passyunk & South Philly
Estate Cleanout in East Passyunk
The house on the block where the family gathered every Sunday now has to be emptied. It usually starts in the basement — decades of storage down one steep stair — and ends at the top-floor bedrooms. We clear the whole rowhome, protect the marble front steps, and set aside what can be donated. Half a truck is $431, a full truck $732.
The City’s Most Rowhome-Dense ZIP
Almost 78 percent of homes in 19148 are attached rows, the highest share in Philadelphia, and most were built before 1940. East Passyunk Avenue runs through the middle, with Pat’s and Geno’s facing off at 9th and Passyunk.
The Italian-American families who shaped the neighborhood now share it with Latino, Chinese and Vietnamese households, and many rowhomes are passing to a new generation — which is when the cleanout happens.

Can you clear my parents’ rowhome in a day?
Usually, yes. Most South Philly rowhomes fit in one visit, though a packed basement can add a second load.
Do you donate what’s usable?
Yes. Good furniture and housewares are set aside for donation before anything is disposed of.
Will you protect the marble steps?
Yes. Steps, railings and doorframes are padded first.
What if the basement stairs are really steep?
That’s normal here. The crew carries it all up by hand at no extra charge.
