Photographs
Photographing a job so the first number is the right one
- Shoot from the doorway first, so the whole room is in one frame
- Then one from the opposite corner, which shows the depth
- Leave a door or a dining chair in shot for scale
- Separate frames per room, per garage bay, per storage area
- Do not tidy beforehand — it costs you an evening and changes nothing
- Call out anything dense: stone countertop, tile, weight plates, a safe
- Say what floor you are on and whether the stairwell turns
What a quote is based on
Four variables, weighted to your job
How much of the truck it fills, what it weighs, what it takes to carry it out, and whether any of it has a disposal route of its own. Those four, in that order for most household jobs — and the reason a photograph beats an inventory, because an item count says nothing about either of the first two.
In this territory the third one carries more weight than it does elsewhere. A great deal of what this branch collects lives above the ground floor in a building with no lift, and the same sofa from a driveway and from a third-floor landing is not the same amount of work.
Whatever comes back costs nothing and obliges you to nothing.

What to send
What a useful set looks like, by the size of the job
The larger the job, the more the framing decides whether a figure comes back straight away or a question does. These are the shots that skip the second exchange.
| Job size | What to include |
|---|---|
| A single item | One frame is enough, plus the doorway it has to leave through. |
| A room | One shot from the doorway, one from the far corner. Open the closet. |
| An apartment | Every room, plus the balcony and the outside storage closet. Say which floor. |
| A garage | Doors fully open, taken from the driveway. Depth is what the photograph shows and words do not. |
| A whole property | Room by room, then the garage, the attic hatch and the yard. Those last three move the number most. |
| Renovation debris | Name the material, not only the pile. Tile, stone and carpet with pad price on weight. |
| Commercial | Workstation count and panel height beat floor area. Include the lift and the dock. |
Quoting something specific?
How each of these jobs actually runs
Worth two minutes before you send anything, especially where access is awkward or a date is fixed.
Garage cleanouts
Shoot each wall from the garage door. An Arlington garage holds more than the doorway suggests, and the far corner is what moves the number.
Learn moreEstate cleanouts
Staged across as many visits as the family needs, sorting first. Nothing is loaded that has not been agreed.
Learn moreRenovation debris
Say what the material is. On this category the scales decide the number, not the truck bed.
Learn moreOffice cleanouts
Counted in workstations and panel height rather than in square feet.
Learn moreApartment cleanouts
The floor, the stairwell, and how furnished the unit was left.
Learn moreCommercial and recurring
The commercial form asks for building hours, dock access and lease dates — the things a business quote actually turns on.

Quote questions
- Is the quote actually free?
- Yes, entirely. Nothing is held back behind it and nothing follows from it — no deposit, no drip of reminder calls, and no obligation created by having asked. If the figure does not suit you, the exchange simply ends there.
- How long before a figure comes back?
- Generally not long after the photographs land. What decides the speed is how clearly they show the volume — a set that answers the obvious questions goes straight to a figure, while a set that raises them adds a round trip.
- Why not just take an inventory over the phone?
- Because the price is built on volume and weight, and neither survives being described. Fifteen boxes of bedding and fifteen boxes of hardback books are an identical line on a list and nowhere near the same job for a truck or for a transfer station.
- Can the figure move once a crew is on site?
- Only where what is actually there differs materially from what was quoted — which nearly always means something was outside the frame. In that case you hear it before anything is lifted, and you decide whether to proceed. Nothing goes on the truck at an unagreed figure.
- Can I get a quote for a commercial job?
- Yes, though offices, retail units and property portfolios are better served by the commercial request page, which asks for the things that actually determine a business quote: permitted hours, dock and lift arrangements, the lease deadline, and whether this repeats.
- What happens to anything on your cannot-take list?
- You get told which items fall outside what a junk truck can legally carry, where each of them actually belongs, and a figure for everything else. Paint, solvents, fuel, propane, batteries and anything asbestos-bearing each have their own route, and none of those routes is us.
