Basement clean out in Colorado Springs

Basement clean out is the job Justin gets when the room downstairs is full, in Colorado Springs or anywhere around the Pikes Peak region. Call or text (719) 246-8422 for a price. A basement job is mostly a stairs job. Everything down there has to come up the stairs and out through the house, and you don't have to drag any of it up first. He starts wherever the stuff sits, the back of an unfinished room or the closet tucked under the steps, and hauls it up himself.

That is the difference from a garage clean out, where the pile usually rolls straight out a big door to the driveway. In a basement, every box and chair goes up the steps by hand and past the walls and doorframes upstairs. The pile tends to be older, too. Things go downstairs when nobody is ready to decide on them, and they sit there for years. By the time someone calls, the job is usually the whole room.

Junkernaut Junk Removal is Justin's own outfit, started in 2026, and he works it alone. The person who prices the basement is the same person carrying the couch up the stairs, so what you describe on the phone is what he plans for. The business has 5.0 stars across 34 Google reviews. Tell him what is down there and roughly how full the room is when you reach out for a price.

What is usually in a basement pile

Most basement loads are a mix of furniture that got replaced upstairs and boxes that came down after a move. A sagging sectional. An old dresser with a stuck drawer. Bed frames, a recliner, the card table from the last holiday. Then there is the stuff people buy with good intentions, like a treadmill or a weight bench that turned into a coat rack. Metal shelving loaded with paperwork and old toys is common, and so is a pile of carpet scraps from a finish job. A lot of basements also hold one big item that quit years ago, usually a chest freezer or an old fridge, and two or three tires leaning in a corner. Justin takes the whole mix as one load.

Who calls Justin about a basement

Usually a homeowner who is about to finish the basement and needs the floor bare before the framing starts. Or someone getting a house ready to sell, where the basement is the last room anyone wants to deal with. Property managers call when a tenant moves out and leaves a storage room full. Families call after a parent moves to a smaller place and the basement holds years of saved things. Each of these is the same work for Justin. He gives one price for the room and carries it up. He covers every town he works in across the Pikes Peak region, so a basement in Monument or Fountain gets the same job as one in Colorado Springs.

How Justin works a basement job

Justin clears a path from the bottom step first, then works back toward the far wall so the way out stays open. The big pieces go up while there is room to turn them, and the boxes and loose stuff follow. Nothing needs to be moved upstairs or set out at the curb before he gets there. The carrying up the stairs is his job, start to finish. If a property manager is setting up the job for a rental, Justin works out the time with that manager, and the two-hour arrival window is set from there. Since he's open 24/7, a basement can get cleared same day, most days. Call or text (719) 246-8422.

What a basement clean out costs

The minimum is $225. Past that, Justin quotes the basement as a single number, based on how much of the truck the load fills. Once it is loaded, that number does not change. The carrying up the stairs is part of the loading, and loading, hauling and disposal are all inside the price. There's no dump fee line on the bill.

Three things can add to it, and all of them turn up in basements a lot. Each tire is +$10. A chest freezer, an old fridge, a window air conditioner or anything else with freon is +$40 each. The spare-room mattress and box spring are +$40 each. Justin lists no add-ons beyond those three. For more detail, read how a load gets priced by trailer space. Payment can be card, cash, a check, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, Google Pay or Apple Pay.

What stays behind in the basement

A few things Justin won't load, even when they've been sitting downstairs for years. The propane tank off the old grill or camp stove has to stay down there. Same for gas cans and other fuel parked on a back shelf. He won't take asbestos, so old pipe wrap or flooring that might contain it stays where it is. Medical or biohazard waste stays too. Any other hazardous waste stays put as well. Everything else in the basement can go, and the rundown of items Justin hauls covers the usual ones. If you're not sure about something down there, Justin can tell you on the phone.

Where the basement load ends up

Justin sorts with donation first. Furniture and household goods in decent shape go to Arc, Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity. Metal, like a weight bench, bed rails or steel shelving, goes to a Colorado Springs metal recycler. Old brick or concrete pieces left from a past project go to a recycling center. Only the true trash is left at the end, and Justin takes that to Midway Landfill, East Landfill or the El Paso County transfer station. None of that sorting is on you. Point at the pile and Justin handles where each piece goes.
