Prospect Park
The hilltop pocket crowned by the landmark "Witch's Hat" water tower — early-1900s period homes on winding streets, wedged between the University of Minnesota and the Green Line. It's two neighborhoods in one: long-time owners with deep, full basements packed with decades of stuff, and a campus edge of student and faculty rentals that turn over every year. We clear both, carrying it up the narrow stairs or out of the apartment, at one flat photo-quoted price with Minnesota sales tax already inside it — usually same-week.
Two neighborhoods on one hill
Prospect Park sits on Tower Hill, and the same winding streets hold two very different customers. Up toward the water tower are the early-1900s period homes — Craftsman, four-square and storybook stock owned for decades by the same families, each with a full basement reached by a narrow, steep staircase and often an attic and a detached garage on top of it. Down toward campus and the Prospect Park Green Line stop are the student and faculty rentals that empty and refill on the university calendar. One is a slow, careful basement dig; the other is a fast move-out. We do both the same honest way: you send a photo, we send back a flat price, and that price covers the carry — up the basement stairs or down from the apartment — with the disposal and Minnesota sales tax already folded in.
Hilltop period-home basements, attics & garages
This is the job Minneapolis has that the coastal cities don't: a real full basement, and behind it decades of things that never went anywhere. In the Prospect Park period homes that means a workbench nobody's used since the '80s, stacked moving boxes gone soft in the spring damp, an old dresser, a dead water heater, paint cans, holiday bins, and a bike frame or two. We clear the whole basement — and the attic and the alley garage if you want them done too — and we carry every piece up the stairs ourselves. There's no charge for the stairs and no re-quote when we see how full it really is; the flat number holds. For long-time owners finally downsizing, or an executor emptying a family home before a sale, it's the cleanest way to get decades out of the house in one visit.
Green Line student & faculty turnover
On the campus side, the work is quicker and cyclical. Students and U of M faculty come and go, and when a lease or an appointment ends the apartment or rental house needs to be empty for the walkthrough. We handle the move-out clears — a mattress and a couch, a desk and a dresser, or a whole unit — same-day or next-day when a truck's open, and we work the tight Green-Line-adjacent parking without adding a fee for the walk. It's the same flat, photo-quoted pricing as the big basement jobs, just a smaller load.

What Prospect Park customers say
"We've owned the same house under the Witch's Hat for thirty-two years and the basement showed it. They cleared all of it — old furniture, a broken water heater, a wall of boxes — carried every bit up those steep stairs, and the price from the photo never moved. Same week, too."
"Faculty, moving to a smaller place near campus, and I needed the study and half the basement emptied fast. They handled the narrow street, donated the good bookcases, and gave me one flat number with the tax already in it. Easy."
"Rental right by the Green Line stop, lease ending. Mattress, an old couch and a desk out the same afternoon, tight parking and all, one flat price from a photo. Didn't have to lift a thing."
Prospect Park questions, answered
Can you clear a full hilltop basement?
Yes — the signature job here. We empty the whole basement (plus attic and garage if you want) and carry every piece up the narrow stairs, flat-priced, no stair fee.
The streets are narrow and winding — can the truck get in?
Yes. We stage as close as the block allows and carry from there, no charge for the extra walk.
Do you do student and faculty move-outs near the Green Line?
Yes — apartment and rental-house clears, same-day or next-day when a truck's open, tight parking handled.
How fast can you come?
Usually same-week; often same-day for a single-piece or apartment job. Big multi-decade basements we schedule for the first full window.
What happens to the stuff?
Usable pieces go to Bridging, Goodwill or the Salvation Army, e-waste to Hennepin County's drop-off, and only the true junk is disposed of.
Is Minnesota sales tax extra?
No — the roughly 9.025% tax is already inside your flat quote, nothing added at the door.
