Required Tools

Essential Equipment

• Crowbar: Used for prying open doors, removing nails, and breaking apart materials.
• Heavy-Duty Trash Bags: For collecting debris, waste, and unwanted items during the clearing process.
• Utility Knife: Ideal for cutting through cardboard, plastic, and other packaging materials.

Optional Equipment

• Dolly or Hand Truck: Helpful for transporting heavy items, making the clearing process more efficient.

Rental vs Purchase

When to Rent

• One-Time Project: If you're only clearing out a house as a one-time task, renting equipment may be more cost-effective.
• Specialized Tools: For tools you won't use frequently, such as a sledgehammer or commercial-grade vacuum, renting can save space and money.

When to Purchase

• Frequent Use: If you find yourself clearing houses often, investing in your own equipment can save time and rental costs in the long run.
• Specific Preferences: If you have specific brand preferences or want high-quality tools that meet your standards, purchasing might be the best option.

Safety Equipment

• Gloves: Protects your hands from sharp objects and hazardous materials.
• Dust Mask: Helps prevent inhalation of dust and debris, especially in older homes.
• Safety Goggles: Shields your eyes from flying debris and dust during the clearing process.
