Baker & South Broadway
One of Denver's oldest platted neighborhoods — the Baker Historic District of 1890s Victorians and worker cottages, fronted by the SoBo antique row and music venues of South Broadway (80204 / 80223). Two very different jobs live here: careful historic-home and estate cleanouts inside tight, small-roomed Victorians, and storefront and retail turnover for the vintage dealers, record shops, and small businesses on Broadway. Both call for finesse over force. Flat photo-quoted price, no Colorado sales tax on it.
Two neighborhoods in one: the Victorians and the Broadway strip
Baker is where Denver started. The residential blocks west of Broadway are the Baker Historic District — dense rows of 1890s–1900s Victorians, Queen Annes, and brick worker cottages, small-roomed and tight-staircased, most of them a century and change old. Fronting them is the "SoBo" stretch of South Broadway, Denver's antique and vintage spine, lined with dealers, record shops, and the Mayan and Hi-Dive. So the work splits cleanly in two, and we do both.
Lane one is the historic home: estate cleanouts and decades of accumulation inside a Victorian where every doorway is narrow, every staircase winds, and the rooms are small. That's not a job for brute force — it's a job for disassembly, padding, and patience, which is exactly how our crews work these houses. Lane two is the storefront: the SoBo dealers and small businesses turning over inventory, clearing a shop, or hauling out fixtures and furniture. We price both flat from photos, and because Colorado doesn't tax the service, the quote is the final number — no tax reveal at the end.
Historic-Victorian & estate cleanouts, done with care
An 1895 Baker Victorian was not built for moving a modern sectional or a cast-iron tub out the front door. The staircases are steep and turning, the door frames are original, and the plaster doesn't forgive a careless corner. When we clear a home or an estate here, the crew takes big pieces apart, pads the treads and trim, and carries everything out clean — a sleeper sofa ($149), a heavy dresser ($126), a cast-iron bathtub ($185), a piano ($290 for an upright). For a full home we price it as a truck-fill rather than piece by piece. What's usable — and in a neighborhood like Baker, a lot of it is genuinely good — routes to donation and resale rather than the dump, and every load rides out tarped.
South Broadway storefront & retail turnover
The SoBo side of the job is commercial: an antique dealer sitting on overflow that didn't sell, a shop clearing out to close or reconcept, a small business hauling old fixtures and furniture. We take shelving, display cases, counters, a commercial copier ($97), desks ($83), office chairs ($61), filing cabinets, and the general clutter of a back room — and we scope it flat, up front, as items or truck-fill. Because South Broadway is a working retail and venue strip with tight loading and street parking, we'll work before you open or after you close so the haul-out doesn't eat your business hours. One flat number, disposal included, no surprise sales tax.

Why the city won't cover a Baker clear-out
Denver's free Large Item Pickup is residential and curbside-only: it comes once every nine weeks, takes five items max, and doesn't touch appliances, electronics, or tires — and it won't help a business at all. For a Victorian estate or a Broadway shop clear-out, that's no help: dozens of pieces, most too heavy to drag to the curb, on a timeline that can't wait two months. We carry it out of the building on your schedule, flat-priced, with the electronics diverted to an e-cycler (Colorado bans them from the landfill) and the good pieces sent to ARC Thrift Stores, Goodwill of Colorado, and Habitat ReStore.
What Baker & SoBo customers say
"Cleared my grandmother's 1898 Victorian off West 3rd — a lifetime of things in a house with staircases you can barely turn on. They took the big pieces apart, padded everything, and never scuffed the original trim. Discreet and fair."
"I run a vintage shop on South Broadway and needed to clear a back room of dead inventory and old display cases. They came before I opened, flat price, in and out. Didn't lose a single hour of business."
"Old cast-iron tub and a heap of reno junk out of a Baker cottage. Tight doorways, no drama — they figured it out and hauled it same-day. Quote never changed."
Frequently asked questions
Can you clear a historic Victorian in Baker without wrecking it?
Yes — that's the whole point in the Baker Historic District. These 1890s–1900s Victorians and worker cottages have small rooms, tight winding staircases, and narrow doorways, so we work with care and disassembly, not brute force: we take pieces apart, pad the door frames and stair treads, and carry things out clean. Flat photo-quoted, $75 minimum, disposal included.
Do you handle South Broadway storefront and retail clear-outs?
Yes. The SoBo antique dealers, record shops, and small businesses along South Broadway call us for overflow inventory, shop clear-outs, and fixtures & furniture (FF&E) — display cases, shelving, desks, office chairs, a commercial copier. We scope it flat from photos and can work before opening or after close so we don't cut into your retail hours.
How much does an estate or shop clear-out cost?
Flat-rate, photo-quoted. Single pieces have set prices — a sofa is $126, a dresser $126, a desk $83 — and a whole home or storefront prices as truck-fill: quarter $241, half $431, three-quarters $587, full $732. $75 minimum, disposal included, and no Colorado sales tax on the service.
Is there any sales tax added at the end?
No. Colorado doesn't tax the junk-removal service and there's no refuse tax, so the flat photo-quote is exactly what you pay — no surprise line items when the truck is loaded.
Do you donate the usable pieces?
Yes — furniture and goods with life left in them route to ARC Thrift Stores, Goodwill of Colorado, Habitat ReStore, and similar metro-Denver partners. In a neighborhood full of vintage and antique stock, keeping resellable pieces out of the landfill matters, and we tarp every load either way.
Can you come same-day?
Usually. Send photos of the home or the storefront and if we have a window open near Baker/SoBo we can often be out same or next day.
