What property preservation involves

When you're looking at home clean out companies that actually show up on time and know how to work inside a property management timeline, the list gets short fast. Junk Genius has been doing this for about 15 years, eviction trash outs, foreclosure cleanouts, tenant turnovers, code violation clears, and our crews hold certifications in MSW Hauling, Waste Management Safety, and Recycling Management. MN License #3772090-2. These aren't subcontracted day laborers; they're background-checked, living-wage employees who've done this grind hundreds of times across the Twin Cities Metro. Call (612) 444-5865 and get a same-week appointment locked in today.

A single vacant unit bleeding rent is painful. A portfolio of them is a crisis. Property preservation work moves at a different pace than a one-time residential cleanout, and the pricing has to match that reality. We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. Cost drivers on property cleanout jobs include unit count, the volume of abandoned furniture and appliances, whether you've got construction debris removal in the mix, and turnaround urgency. Every job is different, contact Junk Genius for an accurate estimate.

WHAT WE HANDLE

Property Preservation Services Built for Property Managers

From single-unit turnovers to full building trash outs, we cover the full scope of property cleanup work.

Tenant Cleanouts and Turnovers

Single units and whole buildings. We clear abandoned furniture, appliances, personal property, and bulk junk so your maintenance crew isn't wasting time on hauling.

Eviction and Foreclosure Trash Outs

Sensitive situations handled discreetly. Our crew leaders are trained to document the work, handle items properly, and stay professional on properties where emotions can run high.

Bulk Junk and Abandoned Furniture

Sofas, mattresses, dressers, TVs, we haul it all. Usable items get donated to partners like Bridging and Habitat for Humanity ReStore instead of going straight to landfill.

Dumpster Overflow and Enclosure Resets

An overflowing dumpster is a resident complaint magnet and a city citation waiting to happen. We clear the overflow, reset the enclosure, and document what was removed.

Illegal Dumping Removal

Someone else's problem dumped on your property is still your liability. We remove it, document it, and restore the site so you're not the one holding the citation.

Code Violation Cleanups

City-ordered cleanups come with deadlines. We prioritize these calls and can often schedule same-day or next-day to keep you in compliance and out of court.

OUR TEAM

A Crew That Knows the Property Game

Junk Genius is led by founder Mike Reimann and co-owner Mike Reimann. Between them, more than about 15 years building a hauling operation specifically capable of handling the volume and pace that property management work demands. You don't get that from a franchise call center. When you call (612) 444-5865, you're reaching a team that has done thousands of property-related cleanouts across the Twin Cities Metro, and whose crews carry real credentials. MSW Hauling certification. Waste Management Safety certification. Recycling Management certification. Licensed, background-checked employees on every job. No unvetted day labor, ever. Living-wage employment keeps turnover low, which means the crew that shows up knows what they're doing. For larger property management junk removal work, that consistency is the difference between a smooth turn and a scheduling nightmare.

HOW IT WORKS

How Our Property Preservation Process Works

Three steps. No chaos.

  1. 01

    Book and Confirm Scope

    Call or use our online form. We confirm the number of units, the type of debris, and your timing window. Same-day and next-day availability in most markets, we give you exact appointment times, not a four-hour guessing window.

  2. 02

    Crew Arrives, Walks the Space

    The crew leader walks the property with you or your designee before a single item moves. Scope and expectations confirmed. Then we sort, remove, and clear, furniture, appliances, bulk debris, patios, garages, storage rooms, common areas.

  3. 03

    Sweep, Document, Done

    Affected areas get swept and tidied. Disposal documentation provided for materials that require it. Certificates of Insurance available on request. The property is ready for the next step, turn, inspection, or showing.

COORDINATION

Coordinated Scheduling, Not a Guessing Game

Property preservation is a team sport. Our crews coordinate directly with on-site property managers, maintenance supervisors, realtors, asset managers, and vendor teams. Some jobs you can plan two weeks out. Others hit like a surprise slapshot on a Tuesday morning. We handle both. Need us between showings? In a tight turn window before a new tenant moves in Saturday? Tell us the constraint and we build around it. We send a 30-minute courtesy call before arrival so your team is ready, not scrambling. We also work weekends, because units don't stop being vacant on Friday at 5pm. If you're running a dumpster rental alongside a full-service cleanout, we can coordinate both so you're not managing two separate schedules.

Sosa and Diego did an incredible job on my garage. I had bought a house and the seller had left all sorts of junk in the garage including an old fridge and many mattresses. They were able to work with me to get it done fast and affordably. I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future work

I had a few places come do estimates, and Junk Genius was definitely the most reasonable. They were also able to switch our day/time when we had something coming up. Big shout out to Lester and Isaiah! They were friendly, respectful of the space, and incredibly efficient!

Smarter Pricing for Property Cleanout Work

Budget pressure is real in property management. Our pricing model was built to work with that reality, not against it.
Volume-based pricing means you pay for the space your junk actually takes up in the truck, not a flat per-item rate that stacks up fast on a full trash out. The 10% Price Beat Guarantee means if you've got a written estimate from another licensed hauler, we'll beat it. No fine print.

FAQ

Common Questions About Property Preservation Work

Is property preservation still profitable?
For property managers, property preservation isn't a profit center. It's a cost-control tool. A vacant unit cleared in 24 hours versus one that sits for a week because the hauler didn't show costs real money in lost rent and delayed leasing. Fast, reliable trash out work protects your NOI. The question isn't whether it's profitable; it's whether you can afford the delay.
How do you get into property preservation as a vendor?
Most property management companies qualify vendors on three criteria: licensing, insurance, and reliability. Junk Genius carries MN License #3772090-2, comprehensive liability and workers' compensation insurance, and can name property companies as additional insured on our COI. If you're evaluating hauling vendors for your portfolio, call (612) 444-5865 and ask for our vendor packet.
What is a property preservation fee?
In the hauling and cleanout context, a property preservation fee is what the vendor charges to clear, clean, and restore a property to rentable or marketable condition after a tenant vacates, an eviction, or a foreclosure. We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. No per-item upcharges stacked on after the fact.
What are common mistakes to avoid in property preservation cleanouts?
The biggest mistake is hiring an unlicensed hauler to save $50 and then inheriting the liability when materials are dumped illegally. Second mistake: not getting disposal documentation for loads that require it. Third: not naming your vendor as additional insured. Junk Genius is licensed, insured, and provides disposal documentation on applicable loads. We also carry COIs naming property companies as additional insured on request.
Can you handle multi-unit trash outs in a single visit?
Yes. Multi-unit work is something we schedule regularly for property management clients. Tell us the unit count, the floor levels involved, and the approximate volume of debris when you call, and we'll dispatch the right crew size. On larger buildings we can stage the work across multiple days to minimize disruption to occupied residents.
What materials are excluded from a standard property trash out?
We don't haul hazardous materials, that includes paint (unless dried), solvents, chemical cleaners, propane tanks, asbestos-containing materials, and medical waste. If a unit contains these, flag it when you call so we can advise on proper disposal channels. Everything else, furniture, appliances, electronics, construction debris, bulk junk, we handle.

What materials are excluded from a property trash out?
We don't haul hazardous materials, paint (unless dried), solvents, propane tanks, asbestos-containing materials, and medical waste are excluded. Flag these before the job so we can advise on proper disposal. Everything else, furniture, appliances, electronics, construction debris, bulk junk, is fair game.
How fast can you respond to an emergency property preservation call?
Same-day and next-day service is available in most Twin Cities Metro markets. Code violation cleanups and eviction trash outs get priority scheduling. Call (612) 444-5865 and tell us what you're dealing with. We'll tell you exactly when we can be there, not give you a vague window.
