Foreclosure Cleaning in Long Island & NYC

A foreclosed home is rarely left the way you'd want to show it. There may be furniture and bags of belongings, spoiled food in the fridge, an overgrown yard and months of dust.

A foreclosure cleanout, sometimes called a trash-out, clears all of that and gets the property cleaned so it can be listed, shown or rented. EEB handles the removal and the cleaning as one job for banks, asset managers, agents, investors and owners across Long Island and New York City. If the property is being cleared for a family after a death or a move into care, rather than a bank-owned foreclosure, that work is quoted as estate cleanout services.

Book Now

We need confirmation that you have authority over the property and its contents: the bank, asset manager, owner, executor or an agent acting for them.

You decide what is removed, kept or set aside.

Documents and personal items

If we find documents, photographs or items that look like they need review, we set them aside and let you know. EEB doesn't appraise property or decide what has value.

Repairs

Some foreclosed homes need more than cleaning, such as lock changes, door or window repair, drywall, paint or flooring.

These are available by request, subject to assessment, availability and a separate quote. Work that needs a license, permit, specialized trade or regulated remediation is performed or arranged only through appropriately qualified providers.

A water-damage repair request doesn't cover mold, asbestos, structural or electrical work unless that is specifically authorized and quoted.

If we find hazards

Vacant homes sometimes hold surprises: mold, sewage, chemicals, needles or pest problems. If we find something like that, we stop, tell you, and discuss what the property needs before any further work.

Chemicals, fuels, paints, pressurized containers and hazardous materials need special handling and may require an appropriately licensed provider.

Recurring upkeep visits

Managing a vacant property over time? Ask about recurring upkeep visits, quoted for the property, with each visit's tasks agreed in writing. These are cleaning and upkeep visits, not inspections, security or property management.

1. Request. Open Foreclosure Cleaning in the services directory and send the address, property size, access details and photos or a video of each room.
2. Review. Smaller jobs can often be quoted from photos. Larger or heavily filled homes may need a walkthrough first.
3. Quote. We send the quote to your EEB account.
4. The job. Removal first, then cleaning. With written authorization and agreed access instructions, we can work from a lockbox with nobody on site. Keys, lockbox codes and other access are used only for the agreed work.
5. Handover. The home is left empty and clean. Before-and-after photos are provided when they're part of the agreed scope and you've authorized them; they show the work and the property's condition, not personal information.

Larger cleanouts may need a dumpster or container. Availability, size, placement, permits and pricing vary by project, so we'll review it with you.

1. Size of the property and how much is left inside
2. Appliances, mattresses, electronics and heavy items
3. Stairs, basements and difficult access
4. Condition of the home and the depth of cleaning needed
5. Yard work and disposal requirements
6. Whether water and power are on. Work without utilities may be possible but can change the scope, equipment, timing and price, and must be disclosed before service

Minimum charges may apply and are shown in your quote.

We'll review the property and send your quote.
