A hoarder house cleanout is not standard junk removal — it requires a different pace, a respectful crew, and experience with every level of accumulation from mild clutter to full biohazard conditions. Albemarle Moving handles it all in Charlottesville and Central Virginia.
Our price: $499/truck all-in. 1-800-GOT-JUNK and College Hunks charge $1,500–$5,000 for the same multi-truck job. We are genuinely 50% cheaper on large hoarder house cleanouts.
What Is a Hoarder House Cleanout?
A hoarder house cleanout is the process of systematically clearing a home where items have accumulated beyond normal function — from blocked pathways and stacked belongings to rooms completely inaccessible. We work at the pace the situation requires, never rushing, never judging.
Hoarder House Levels We Handle
- Level 1–2: Heavy clutter, some rooms affected. 1–2 trucks. $499–$998.

Common Questions
Can the person living there be involved? Yes, always encouraged. We work at their pace.
What if they don't want to be present? We work with family members, executors, or whoever holds access authority.
What if there are biohazards? Level 4–5 situations may require licensed remediation before haul-out. We coordinate the sequence.
