Garage Cleanout

Reclaim Your Space, Restore Your Peace of Mind

718-737-7161

Is your garage overflowing with storage bins, broken appliances, old furniture, or years of forgotten household items? You’re not alone. For many homeowners, the garage becomes a catch-all for everything from seasonal items and sports equipment to garden tools and power tools. When clutter takes over, it can be overwhelming, stressful, and even unsafe. That’s where Lightning Junk Removal comes in—your trusted partner for fast, affordable, and eco-friendly garage cleanout services.

Why a Garage Cleanout Matters

A cluttered garage isn’t just an eyesore—it’s wasted space. Studies show that nearly 25% of Americans can’t park in their garage due to clutter. That’s valuable square footage you could use for your car, a workshop, a home gym, or simply organized storage systems. Beyond lost space, a messy garage can create safety hazards, attract pests, and make it impossible to find what you need, whether it’s your deep freezer, garden hose, or exercise equipment.

A professional garage cleanout transforms chaos into order. With our team, you’ll enjoy a clean garage, improved garage layout, and peace of mind—without lifting a finger.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a garage cleanout cost?
Pricing depends on the volume and type of items, as well as access and labor required. We provide customized, guaranteed, upfront pricing before any work begins.

How long does a garage cleanout take?
Most cleanouts are completed in a few hours. Larger or more complex jobs—such as those involving industrial wire shelving, overhead storage racks, or extensive construction materials—may take longer, but we always work efficiently.

Do I need to be home during the cleanout?
We recommend you’re present to identify what stays and what goes, but we can also work with your instructions if you can’t be there. Property managers and real estate professionals often trust us with REO property cleanouts.

What if I have hazardous materials or products?
We do not accept hazardous materials or products. This includes items like chemicals, solvents, asbestos, and other regulated waste. If you have hazardous items, we recommend contacting your local hazardous waste facility for proper disposal guidance.

Absolutely! We can help you set up basic organization systems, garage storage solutions, slatwall panels, vertical storage, and even provide organization tips for maintaining a clean garage and efficient cleaning schedule.

Angel cleaned out an entire 1BR apt for me in an afternoon – 2 truckloads at a very good, transparent flat rate – even did the carpet and nails. Couldnt recommend more – clean, efficient, and honest.

These gentlemen answered my last minute call with friendly, super fast, same day service. They went above and beyond for me and my family when we had a death in the family and needed a last minute cleaning out of a storage unit. I can’t recommend these gentlemen highly enough. NG

We hired them for a tough job in our backyard. Angel was very professional from our very first interaction. He gave us a prompt estimate, was responsive, punctual, fast to schedule, and thorough.rnrnNot only did they haul away a chain link fence, metal, wood, and heavy concrete pavers from our backyard through the basement and up the stairs – they also had to clear and haul construction debris that was blocking the door they needed to go through (picture attached).rnrnNo job seemed too big or too small. We dealt with competitors that wasted our time (no-shows, late, disappeared, or focused on issues instead of partnering with us to find solutions). We both have demanding careers, are new landlords, and have a toddler – so finding a company that respects your time and goes the extra mile is incredibly valuable.

These guys are fantastic and Angel is running a great business. They came to get some junk for me, the price was fair, the communication was good and they even cleaned up after removal! Don’t look anywhere else these are the guys to use for your junk removal. The ratings aren’t wrong!
