We know how overwhelming and stressful cleanouts can be — whether it’s sorting through a loved one’s home, helping family downsize, or clearing out a property for sale. Our mission is to make that process easier, with genuine care and reliable local service.
We’re not a national franchise or 1-800 call center. We’re a local Metro Detroit company built by people who live here, work here, and care about the families we serve. When you call us, you’re speaking directly to our team — and when we show up, you’re getting hardworking neighbors who treat your property like it’s their own.
"We're your neighbors and we're here to help."

When we quote you a price, that's what you pay – period. No surprise fees, no upselling at the end, no fine print. You deserve to know exactly what you're getting into from day one.
Respect
Whether you're dealing with loss or helping family downsize, we treat your belongings and your situation with the care and respect it deserves.
Simple
You've got enough on your plate already. We handle the scheduling, the heavy lifting, the donations, and leave you with a clean space. One call, and we take care of everything else.

Who We Help Every Day
Families Dealing with a Lost Loved Ones

Real Estate Investors
Bought a property out of state or flipping a local home? We make it easy to clear out the old so you can bring in the new and maximize your property’s value. From full home cleanouts to tenant turnovers, our team provides fast, same-day service to get your rentals and renovations market-ready.
"No matter who we are helping and why, our goal is to take the overwhelming task of clearing and cleaning out a property off our clients plate and helping them move on."
Our Story
Critical Cleanout started with one truck, a lot of hustle, and a belief that junk removal could be done differently. Like many of you, we'd been through family situations that required clearing out a loved one's home – and we saw how most companies either rushed through or treated families like just another job to get through.
Whether it's an estate clean-out, prepping a house for market, or clearing a rental property, we've built our reputation on showing up when we say we will and leaving every space broom-swept and ready for its next chapter.
From Hard Work to Helping Hands
Helping you Help others
At Critical Cleanout, giving back is part of every job. Before anything reaches the landfill, we sort usable items and donate them through our network of Metro Detroit charities and recycling centers. You’ll receive a donation summary report showing the difference your cleanout made in our community.
