Island Lake is mostly owner-occupied single-family houses (76.3% detached, 82.7% owner-occupied) with a median build year of 1990, and garages and basements in houses like these fill up over the years. That usually means garage and basement cleanouts before a sale or a move, old playsets and exercise equipment, and leftover debris from a remodel. The crew does all the carrying from any floor and leaves a broom-clean finish, and a move-out house or carpet cleaning can follow.

Questions Island Lake residents ask
Can you empty an Island Lake garage before we sell the house?

Do you take remodeling debris from an Island Lake kitchen or basement?
Yes. With a median build year of 1990, many Island Lake houses are at the age for kitchen, bath and basement updates, and we haul the old cabinets, flooring, fixtures and drywall. The crew carries it up from the basement with no stair fee, and pricing is by truck space.
