Prepping a home for a successful listing can be overwhelming, especially when cleaning up after home renovations. When your clients are tackling a big project, the last thing they want to do is deal with piles of debris, old materials, and clutter. 

Here are five ways to make post-renovation cleanup seamless to ensure their homes are move-in ready.  

Plan for the cleanup from the start

It’s easy to get caught up in picking paint colours and tile samples, but planning for cleanup is equally as important. Before demo day, homeowners should decide where all the old flooring, drywall, and random junk will go, instead of letting it pile up and slowing down the process. 

A simple solution? Book a junk removal service like 1-800-GOT-JUNK? to take care of the mess, so your clients can focus on getting their homes market-ready. 

Don’t waste time moving heavy debris

When you’re getting ready for the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? truck’s arrival, you may have the urge to clean up and organize before they arrive, but there’s no need to worry about it. We do all the heavy lifting so you don’t have to move a single thing. You can leave everything exactly where it is, and we will take care of the rest. If your clients are in the middle of a renovation, this is a game-changer because:

• They can focus on their renovation while 1-800-GOT-JUNK? hauls everything away.
• No risk of injury from lifting heavy materials.
• No unpleasant piles of junk sitting in the yard or driveway.

Best of all, they even take the time to sweep up after they are done. 

Separate what can be donated or recycled

Your clients will likely want to get rid of junk without feeling guilty about adding to the landfill. They should consider setting aside items like old furniture, cabinets, or fixtures that could be donated. 

That’s another reason why working with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is so great—we recycle and donate whenever possible, making sure items get a second life instead of just being tossed.

Set a realistic timeline

One of the biggest renovation mistakes? Underestimating how long anything will take. It’s easy for clients to think they’ll just “deal with it later,” but the mess adds up fast, especially when they’re deep in a project.

Enjoy the finished space — without the mess

After all the hard work that goes into a home renovation, the last thing your clients want is to be left with a messy, cluttered space. Having a cleanup plan in place helps homeowners enjoy their newly updated space faster, and ensures the property is ready to impress potential buyers. 

Bringing in 1-800-GOT-JUNK? during a renovation is a smart move. Instead of spending days figuring out where to take everything, your clients can focus on the fun part—styling, decorating, and actually enjoying the space they worked so hard to create.

So, if your clients are tackling a renovation (or just need to get rid of a bunch of stuff!), advise them to call in the pros. It’s one less thing to worry about, and they’ll thank you later.

A smooth renovation that leads to a successful listing isn’t just about choosing the perfect countertops or paint colors—it’s also about managing the mess along the way. Having a plan for junk removal makes all the difference, and 1-800-GOT-JUNK? makes the process easy and hassle-free.
