Frequently Asked Questions

Estate cleanouts involve clearing entire households of furniture, appliances, electronics, and personal belongings during property transitions. The scope is larger than single-item removal, requiring more equipment and time to sort through accumulated possessions. LP Services uses trailers and dump equipment developed since 2003 to handle full-property volume without families loading everything themselves.

Place furniture, mattresses, appliances, and boxed items near the street where the truck can access them without entering the property. Curbside service assumes you've already separated unwanted items from what you're keeping and moved them outside. Describe the load when scheduling so LP Services can confirm what's accepted and bring appropriate equipment.

LP Services covers a 50-mile radius around Billings, including Laurel, Huntley, Shepherd, Worden, and Ballantine. Rural properties, shops, and storage buildings throughout the service area are accessible. Distance affects scheduling but not service availability—describe your location and what needs removed when requesting pickup.

LP Services removes furniture, boxes, equipment, and accumulated items crowding the garage, whether you've sorted them or not. The process focuses on clearing unwanted material to restore parking or workspace. You identify what stays and what goes; the crew handles loading and hauling using trailers and equipment suited to bulky garage contents.

The owner worked as a mover starting around age 16 or 17, gaining industry experience beginning around 2000. LP Services was established in 2003 with an 18-foot cargo trailer and has grown through additional trailers, a dump trailer, and equipment over two decades. Past clients include local fairground and concert facilities requiring bulk hauling.

Delivery saves time when you lack a suitable vehicle, need multiple trips, or want to avoid loading and unloading heavy materials yourself. LP Services has progressed from a cargo trailer to multiple trailers and a dump trailer, making single-trip bulk transport practical. It's faster when material volume, weight, or distance makes DIY hauling inefficient.

Refrigerators, washers, dryers, and older freezers are difficult because of weight, size, and doorway clearance. Stairs, narrow hallways, and tight corners add complexity that increases injury risk when lifting alone. Professional removal uses dollies, straps, and two-person crews to navigate obstacles households rarely have equipment for.

Storage units often contain compressed, stacked belongings packed floor-to-ceiling, increasing sorting and load time. Access restrictions, facility hours, elevator use, and distance from the loading area affect labor. Garages typically offer direct vehicle access; storage units may require multiple trips between the unit and truck in a controlled-access facility.

Items are hauled away based on condition and material type, using LP Services' dump trailer and hauling equipment. The company does not make specific recycling or donation commitments on the furniture page—accepted disposal depends on the item. Describe what you're removing when scheduling so the crew confirms how it will be handled.

Count large items like furniture and appliances individually, then estimate boxes, bags, and loose material by how much floor or garage space they occupy. A pickup truck bed holds roughly two cubic yards; a single-car garage footprint covered three feet deep is about nine cubic yards. Describing the space and major items helps LP Services plan trailer capacity.

Electronics removal is part of broader cleanout projects that include computers, monitors, printers, and obsolete equipment taking up office or storage space. The service addresses unwanted electronics within hauling projects rather than as specialized e-waste processing. Identify electronics when describing the cleanout so the crew prepares for mixed-material loads.

Describe the shop size, types of items accumulated—unused equipment, materials, furniture, boxes—and any access limitations like narrow doors or gravel surfaces. Mention whether you've separated keepers from discards or need help identifying what goes. This helps LP Services bring appropriate trailers and estimate labor for the Billings-area property.
