After the death of a loved one, the home often needs to be emptied and cleaned for resale or handover to the owner. The task is emotionally and logistically heavy, especially if the deceased had been living alone for a long time.
We work at your pace. Sorting in the presence or independently according to your instructions, conservation of designated objects, reference photographs before collection if requested, total transparency on the goods handled.

Frequently Asked Questions: Estate Cleaning
What does an estate cleaning at Nova Extermination involve?
Estate cleaning consists of emptying, sanitizing and restoring a home following the death or departure of a loved one, in order to facilitate the management of the estate. We take care of sorting, evacuation and disinfection with respect for the memory of the person and the family. Nova Extermination accompanies families in Boucherville, Sainte-Julie and throughout the South Shore during these delicate times.
Do you help sort personal belongings and items?
Yes, we sort the items in close collaboration with the heirs, separating the items to be kept, donated or disposed of according to your instructions. We handle each item with care, aware of the sentimental value that certain objects represent. Nova Extermination respects your wishes and the rhythm that the situation imposes.
Are your interventions carried out with discretion and sensitivity?
Absolutely. We understand the often difficult context of a succession and intervene with discretion, empathy and without visible identification when desired. Nova Extermination protects the family’s privacy throughout Montérégie. Our goal is to lighten your load in an already trying period.
What does the refurbishment of an inheritance home actually entail?
The intervention includes the evacuation of furniture and bulky items, deep cleaning, disinfection of surfaces and treatment of odours in order to make the accommodation presentable. This makes it easier to sell, rent or hand over the property to the owner. Nova Extermination adapts the scope of the work to the state of the premises and your objectives.
How much does an estate cleanup cost?
The price is established on the basis of an evaluation, depending on the extent of the situation, the volume to be evacuated and the condition of the accommodation. Nova Extermination discreetly travels to evaluate the premises on the South Shore before presenting you with a proposal adapted and respectful of your situation. This professional service is paid for and carried out by a certified team.
Will the home be completely refurbished after your intervention?
We restore the premises to a clean, sanitized and presentable state, but the results are evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on the dilapidation and wear and tear of the building. Some repairs or renovations go beyond the scope of sanitation and cannot be fully guaranteed. Nova Extermination advises you honestly and can guide you to the appropriate additional steps.
