Sort What's Going and What's Staying
Before your appointment, take a pass through the space and separate items you want removed from anything you're keeping. This is especially helpful for shared spaces like garages or storage rooms where it may not be obvious at a glance what should be hauled away.
- Mark or group items for removal in one area if possible
- Set aside anything fragile or sentimental to keep separately
- Double check drawers, cabinets, and boxes for personal items
Clear a Path for the Crew
Make sure there's a clear route from the items to the truck, including hallways, doorways, and stairs. Moving small obstacles like rugs, plant stands, or loose cords ahead of time helps the job move faster and reduces the risk of anything getting bumped or damaged along the way.
Confirm Access to the Property
If you live in a gated community, apartment complex, or office building, check whether there are any access codes, parking restrictions, or building rules that apply on your scheduled day. For rental properties or offices, it's also a good idea to let property management know a crew will be on-site.
Take Photos Ahead of Time
Even if you've already requested a quote, having current photos on hand can help if your pile of items changes between booking and your appointment date. Photos also make it easier to confirm with the crew exactly what's included if anything looks different in person.
Ready to Set a Date?
If you haven't booked yet, the easiest way to get moving is to submit photos of what needs to go and choose a preferred date. Space Back Junk Removals uses that information to put together a free quote so you know what to expect before anyone arrives. You can get started anytime at /quote.
