Cleaning & junk removal in Wilmette, IL
Wilmette is one of the older lakefront suburbs and the homes show it — beautiful, but a lot of accumulated stuff. We do estate cleanouts, downsize jobs for empty nesters, and recurring cleans for the bigger houses near the Bahá'í Temple and the lakefront.

Hoverla in Wilmette
Wilmette is a town of owners. 88% of homes are owner-occupied, more than one resident in five is 65 or older, and many of the houses near downtown, in the CAGE and toward the lakefront are large and old. Finished third floors, steep attic stairs and full basements hold a lot, and when one of these houses changes hands it usually needs two jobs: emptying it and cleaning it.
Hoverla does both. Our junk crew carries everything down from the attic and the third floor, loads from the street or the alley, whichever is the shorter carry, and leaves the rooms broom-clean. Later that same week our cleaning crew comes back for the move-out clean, hot water extraction on carpet that was hidden under furniture, and upholstery cleaning on the pieces the family keeps. Downsizing, estates settled from another state and houses going on the market are the usual reasons Wilmette owners call.

Questions Wilmette residents ask
Our Wilmette house is going on the market soon. What order do you do things in?
Junk removal first, cleaning second. The crew clears the attic, closets, basement and garage, and the truck leaves with everything on the same visit. With the rooms empty, the cleaning crew goes top to bottom, and the carpets can be cleaned wall to wall. Give us your listing date and we plan both jobs backward from it, so the house is ready before photos.
We’re downsizing from a big Wilmette house. Can you also clean the condo we’re moving into?
Yes, if it’s in our service area. At the house, we haul away what isn’t making the move and do the move-out clean once it’s empty. At the new place, a move-in clean covers the inside of the oven, fridge and cabinets and the interior windows before your boxes arrive. Each job gets its own quote, so you can see what each one costs.
How do you price a Wilmette job that includes a cleanout and a cleaning?
Each part is priced on its own. Junk removal goes by truck space: single items from $150 and loads from $275 for a quarter of the truck, and a large house can take several loads. You approve that price before anyone lifts a thing. The cleaning gets a separate written quote for the house and what it needs. Text us photos to get started.
