The volume is large, the sorting is complex, and the situation almost always involves difficult personal circumstances.

We give you an honest assessment and a realistic price before any commitment.

Our Approach
We do not rush hoarding cleanouts. A crew working too fast in a hoarding situation throws away things that should not be thrown away. We work methodically — flagging mail, documents, potential valuables, and financial records before anything leaves the property. Items the property owner or family want reviewed get set aside. Then we work through the remainder efficiently to clear the property within the agreed timeline.
What We Can and Cannot Handle
We handle Level 1 through Level 4 hoarding situations without specialized equipment. Level 5 situations involving active biological hazards, significant mold, or sewage conditions go beyond standard junk removal and require remediation contractors. We will tell you honestly if we encounter conditions requiring a different professional, and we can provide referrals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a hoarding cleanout cost?
Hoarding cleanout costs depend on the severity of accumulation and property size. A moderate situation in a 3-bedroom home typically runs $1,500 to $4,000. Severe cases with multiple rooms floor-to-ceiling may run $5,000 to $15,000 or more. We provide an honest assessment and price before starting.
Are you non-judgmental about hoarding situations?
Absolutely. Our crew approaches hoarding cleanouts with discretion and respect. We understand this is often a sensitive family situation and we treat it that way. We never comment negatively on what we find.
Do you sort items during a hoarding cleanout?
Yes, within reason. We flag mail, documents, financial records, and potential valuables before they leave the property. For very large volumes, we discuss sorting expectations and timeline upfront.
How long does a hoarding cleanout take?
A moderate hoarding situation in a single-family home typically takes 2 to 3 days. Severe cases may require 5 or more days. We give you a realistic timeline before starting.
