Berkeley is mostly mid-century, owner-occupied single-family houses: 87.4% of homes were built before 1970, and 81.9% are single-family detached. That usually means basements and garages filled over decades, narrow stairs, and remodels that turn up old carpet, cabinets and fixtures. Our crew carries from any floor with no stair fee. When a house changes hands, an estate cleanout with keepsakes set aside first, followed by a house cleaning, is a natural pairing.
