Downsizing Cleanouts in North York
Downsizing is a big life change. Many North York residents who raised families in bungalows and split-levels are moving to condos along Yonge Street, retirement residences or smaller homes. The new place is often a fraction of the size, which means deciding what comes along and what stays behind. That can be emotional, and it can also be physically exhausting.
Our downsizing cleanout service helps you let go at your own pace. We remove what won't fit in the new home — furniture, boxes, basement and garage contents — while leaving everything that's moving ready for the movers. You stay in control of every decision.
Taking the stress out of a big move
Downsizing after decades in the same house can bring mixed feelings: excitement about a simpler life and sadness about leaving familiar rooms behind. We try to make the practical side as easy as possible so you can focus on the move itself.
If the new place is a condo, space for storage will be limited. It can help to measure your new rooms and decide on furniture before we arrive. That way, you're not moving pieces that won't fit and paying to get rid of them later.
Adult children who live out of town often help plan a parent's downsizing. We're happy to coordinate with them by phone and send updates as the work progresses.

Giving belongings a next home
Downsizing often involves good furniture and household items that still have life in them. If you'd like, we'll set aside pieces you want to donate or give to family, rather than loading them with everything else.
Items that aren't staying with you or being given away are sorted, with recyclables separated and the rest taken to licensed Toronto disposal facilities.
FAQ
Downsizing Cleanouts questions
Can you come in stages as I decide?
Yes. Some people clear the basement first, then the rest closer to moving day.
Can you work with my movers?
Yes. We'll plan our visit so we're out of their way and nothing moving is disturbed.
Can my children help decide what goes?
Of course. Family members are welcome at the walk-through and during the work.
Will you take items to my new place?
We don't move items. Our service is removal of what isn't going with you.
Do you help with condo move-ins?
We can remove boxes and packing materials after a move — just ask.
