Junk Removal Kenwood & Lake of the Isles
Estate & Junk Removal in
Kenwood & Lake of the Isles
The lakes district at its grandest — the Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, Prairie and English Tudor mansions along the Lake-of-the-Isles parkways, homes that reach into the millions, minutes from the Walker Art Center and the Sculpture Garden. When one of these homes is downsized, settled or passed to the next generation, the cleanout has to be handled with care. We do it discreetly and fully insured: floors and landscaping protected, usable pieces routed to donation with a tax receipt, and one flat, photo-scoped price with Minnesota sales tax already inside it.
Discreet, insured, white-glove on the parkways
Kenwood, Lowry Hill and the homes ringing Lake of the Isles are among the most storied addresses in Minneapolis — old milling- and lumber-family estates, executive and philanthropist households, homes that have held decades of belongings. An estate or downsizing cleanout in a house like this isn't a truck-and-toss job; it's a white-glove one. We arrive fully insured, with a Certificate of Insurance ready for you or your estate attorney, work quietly and unmarked out of respect for the family and the block, and treat the home the way it deserves: floor runners, padded doorways and banisters, and care with the gardens and walkways on the way out. Nothing usable leaves before you've decided what stays, what's appraised, and what's donated. It's the premium, careful end of junk removal — the lane the volume-quote haulers in this market never bother to dress up.
How a Kenwood estate cleanout runs
- A discreet scope. Send photos or book a quiet walk-through. We scope the whole home — main floors, attic, basement and carriage/garage — and give you one flat, all-in price and a realistic timeline.
- Sort, keep, appraise. On a generational home we work in stages so heirlooms, documents and anything headed to appraisal or auction are set aside first. Nothing valuable goes out by accident.
- Donate with a receipt. Reusable furniture and household goods are routed to Bridging, Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Arc's Value Village, and you keep the donation receipt for the estate's records.
- Clear, protected. Floors and landscaping stay protected throughout; e-waste and appliances are diverted properly, not dumped.
- Multi-day when it needs it. A full mansion is often several days, scheduled around the executor and the sale calendar. You're never rushed.
What we handle in Kenwood & Lowry Hill
- Estate & downsizing cleanouts — whole-home clears for executors and families moving a parent to a smaller home or a community.
- Generational-home clear-outs — decades of furniture, collections, and attic-and-basement storage, sorted and cleared with care.
- Pre-listing clears — getting a historic home broom-clean and photo-ready before it goes on the market.
- Single fine pieces — a grand old upright piano ($364), a china cabinet, an armoire, brought out on floor protection.
- Donation-first hauls — when most of it should be given, not thrown, and you want the receipt.

What Kenwood customers say
"As executor I needed a family home by the Isles cleared before listing. They sent the insurance certificate to our attorney first, worked over three quiet days, set aside everything we were keeping, and donated the rest with receipts. Truly white-glove."
"Downsizing my mother out of the Lowry Hill house she'd had for fifty years. Floors were padded, the gardens untouched, the crew was gracious about what mattered to her. One flat price, no drama."
"They moved an old upright piano and a china cabinet out of a Kenwood home without a mark on the hardwood. Discreet, insured, and the donation receipts made the estate accountant happy."
Kenwood questions, answered
Are you insured — can you show proof?
Yes. We provide a Certificate of Insurance to you, an executor or an estate attorney before we start.
Will the crew and truck be discreet?
We work quietly and unmarked, don't broadcast the address, and stage the truck to draw as little attention as possible.
Do you protect floors and landscaping?
Yes — runners and padding inside, care with the gardens and walkways outside. It's part of the job.
Donation pickups with a tax receipt?
Reusable pieces go to Bridging, Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Arc's Value Village, and you keep the receipt for the estate.
Can you schedule a big estate over several days?
Yes — we work in stages around the executor and the sale timeline so nothing valuable leaves before you've sorted it.
Is Minnesota sales tax extra?
No. The roughly 9.025% tax is already inside your flat, scoped price.
