Montgomery homeowners call Junk Nurse for estate cleanout throughout Montgomery and the surrounding Fox Valley. Montgomery straddles Kane and Kendall counties, and we work the Orchard Road corridor and Lakewood Creek subdivisions regularly.
What We Remove in Montgomery
Estate cleanouts are emotional, and they’re rarely simple. Whether you’re an executor settling a parent’s home, an out-of-state heir trying to prep a property for sale, or a Realtor with a closing date, we walk in, sort it room by room, and walk out with the house empty. We work Lakewood Creek, the Orchard Road corridor, Seasons Ridge, and every neighborhood between — from compact townhomes to acreage properties on the rural fringe.
- Full house contents — furniture, clothing, kitchenware, decor
- Decades of attic, basement, and garage accumulation
- Old paperwork, books, photo albums (we set these aside for family)
- Appliances, electronics, and outdated furniture
- Yard tools, holiday decor, and storage tubs
If you’re not sure whether we’ll take something, just ask. Text a photo to (630) 294-1340. We say yes to almost everything — the only items we won’t haul are household hazardous waste (paint solvents, pesticides, certain chemicals), and even then we’ll tell you exactly where to drop them off locally.
The Junk Nurse Difference in Montgomery
Alex Welsch started Junk Nurse after 15 years working as a registered nurse. The nursing approach — show up on time, do the job right, treat the property like it’s yours — carries straight into every estate cleanout job we run in Montgomery. We’re $1M liability insured, we have 47+ five-star Google reviews, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Period. No surprise fees at the end, no “we found more weight than expected,” no upsell at the door.
Montgomery has been growing fast, and a lot of our jobs here are first-time homeowners cleaning out what the previous owner left behind. We see a lot of garage and basement work in the Lakewood Creek area — homes that have been lived in for 15+ years and are due for a reset. Montgomery is part of our home territory in Kane and Kendall County, not a market we drive into from out of town. We know the streets near the Orchard Road corridor, we know newer subdivisions like Lakewood Creek and Seasons Ridge, plus older homes near the original downtown, and we know how to get a truck in and out without anyone noticing we were there.
That local knowledge matters more than people think. A driveway in Lakewood Creek isn’t the same as a driveway in Seasons Ridge. A basement in a 1970s ranch in Montgomery isn’t the same as one in a 2015 build. We’ve seen the layouts, we know what gear to bring, and we don’t waste your morning figuring it out on arrival.

How Estate Cleanout Works in Montgomery
- Walk-through and flat quote — We meet you at the property (or video walk-through for out-of-state heirs) and quote the whole job — flat, in writing.
- Family-first sort — We separate keepsakes, paperwork, and anything that looks valuable. Nothing important goes out without your say-so.
- Full load-out — Crew, trucks, and dumpsters as needed. Donations go to local charities, recycling goes to certified facilities.
- Broom-clean handoff — We leave the property broom-clean and ready for showings, closing, or the next chapter.
Why Montgomery Calls Junk Nurse
National chains route their trucks from a dispatcher in another state. Their crews don’t know Montgomery, they don’t know which way the traffic moves on Randall Road at 3pm, and they don’t know that the alley behind your block barely fits a pickup. We do. We’ve been working Kane and Kendall County since day one, and we treat every Montgomery job like our reputation depends on it — because in a town this size, it does.
Our trucks are clean. Our crews wear uniforms. We text you when we’re 20 minutes out. We park where you want us to park. And when we leave, the only sign we were there is that the estate cleanout you wanted gone is, in fact, gone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does estate cleanout cost in Montgomery, IL?
Most Montgomery estate cleanout jobs land in the $800–$4500 range, depending on volume, access, and what we’re hauling. We give you a flat quote up front — not a ‘starting at’ number that goes up when the truck pulls away. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Do you offer same-day estate cleanout in Montgomery?
Estate cleanouts usually need a half-day to a full day. We can often start within 48 hours of your call, even faster for time-sensitive estates. Montgomery is well inside our regular service area, so we can usually get there fast.
What if we find valuables or paperwork during the Montgomery cleanout?
We set aside anything that looks important — paperwork, photos, jewelry, cash, anything personal — and put it on the kitchen counter for you. Alex’s nursing background means he treats family belongings like he’d want his own treated.
