Frequently asked questions
What people usually want to know before a cleanout, a cleaning, or a junk haul. For exact numbers, see our pricing page. If your question isn’t here, just ask us.
How much does it cost?
House cleaning starts at $130 and junk removal starts at $125. A typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath move-out cleanout (hauling plus the full clean) runs about $650 to $900, depending on how much needs to go. Our pricing page lists the full rates, add-ons, and special-item fees.
How do quotes work?
Tell us about the job and send a few photos. For anything large or unusual, like an estate or a whole-house cleanout, we can also come take a look in person. Either way, we confirm a firm price with you before you book. We don’t guess at prices over the phone.
What areas do you serve?
Vancouver and the Clark County core, with no travel fee. Battle Ground, Ridgefield, Camas, and La Center carry a $25 travel fee. Woodland, Longview, and the far edges of the county run $50 to $100. We work in Washington only for now, not Oregon.
Is there a discount if you do both the hauling and the cleaning?
Yes. Booking the clean and the haul together saves 10 to 15% compared with booking them separately, or we can quote one flat “Move-Out Complete” price that covers hauling what’s left and a full move-out clean.
How do deposits work?
Every job takes a deposit to hold the date: $50 for jobs under $400, and 25% for jobs of $400 or more. The deposit counts toward your job total, so it isn’t an extra charge. It is non-refundable, because it’s what protects the date we set aside for you.
How can I pay?
Cards, cash, or check. We don’t add a surcharge for paying by card.
What does a move-out clean include?
A thorough clean of the empty home, including inside the oven, inside the fridge, inside the cabinets, and the interior windows. It’s priced by home size. We don’t do carpet cleaning or painting.
Can you take appliances, mattresses, hot tubs, or pianos?
Yes. Appliances (including fridges and freezers), mattresses, box springs, sofas, TVs, and tires each carry a set fee on top of the load price. Hot tubs, pianos, safes, and heavy debris like dirt or roofing are priced by quote. Special-item fees are the dump’s cost plus a small handling charge, with no hidden markup.
Is there anything you won’t take or do?
We don’t handle construction or remodel debris, carpet cleaning, painting, contracting work, or biohazard, bodily-fluid, or hoarding-grade cleanup. If your job needs one of those, tell us anyway and we’ll point you to someone who does that work.
When can you come?
Most jobs are on weekends, with some weekday evenings. If you need us in under 24 hours, we’ll do our best to fit you in, and rush bookings carry a surcharge.
Do I need to be home?
Not always. Plenty of cleanouts happen at empty homes. What we need is a way in and a clear picture of what goes and what stays. We’ll sort out access with you when we confirm the job.
Do you bring your own cleaning supplies?
Yes. We bring the cleaning supplies and equipment. You don’t need to provide anything.
Do you work with realtors and property managers?
Yes. We can turn over a vacant home between owners or tenants: haul out what was left behind, then clean it top to bottom. Send photos and the address and we’ll quote it. We’re glad to be the call you make every time a place needs it.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Spruce & Haul, LLC is a licensed Washington business (WA UBI 606 288 285).
