Know the house you're dealing with
The city's historic survey of Encino describes mostly postwar single-family homes, with many Ranch houses. South of Ventura Boulevard it notes larger, irregular lots, curving streets and native oaks. Royal Woods, Royal Oaks and Castle in the Woods shape the Encino Hills. Older one-story homes are usually an easy carry. Hills and long drives are where we'll want a closer look.
Check before anything goes
Encino homes can hold more than old furniture. Mid-century pieces, artwork, instruments and records may be worth having someone look at first. We don't buy or appraise, so if you think there's value, bring in an appraiser or an estate sale company before you book us. We'll clear what's left.
Simple estates
California has a small estate affidavit you may be able to use 40 days after death, with a limit of $208,850 for deaths on or after April 1, 2025. Your attorney can tell you whether it fits, since a house can complicate things. For us, the only thing we need to know is who has the authority to clear the home.
How we work
We can move the big pieces first and work around anything undecided, so you make progress without being rushed.
From the owner
We had Encino jobs on June 30 and July 17, 2026. What looks disposable to us might be valuable to the person who owns it, so we make room for your judgment, even when we'd choose differently.
What you'll pay
Each truck is priced by how much of it your load fills: $225 for an eighth, $325 for a quarter, $490 for a half, $635 for three-quarters and $745 for a full truck. You'll have the real number before we begin.
Driveway Safe is licensed and insured, and it's owned and run by David Steven in Lake Balboa. Call or text 818-231-3056 any hour, and tell us what you're working on.

Common questions
How much does an estate cleanout cost in Encino?
It goes by volume, at $225 to $745 per truck. Send photos of each room and the garage for a price.
Can you work around the oak trees and a long driveway?
Yes. Send a photo of the driveway, and we'll plan how to park and load. Be sure to mention any low branches.
Does the city pick up any of this?
LASAN customers get free curbside bulky pickup with one business day's notice. It's useful for a few items, but it won't clear a home by a closing date.
