Connecticut houses tend to have full basements, pull-down attics and detached garages, and after forty years in one place they are usually packed: storm windows, old paint, boxes of papers, outgrown furniture and tools. Even a successful estate sale leaves a lot behind.

An estate cleanout company empties the property in a day or two, donates and recycles what it can, and gets the house ready for the realtor’s photographer.
