A different kind of cleanup

We meet you where you are.

Hoarding situations aren't about laziness or character — they're often connected to overwhelm, grief, trauma, or health. We understand that, and we show up without judgment. Our job isn't just removing items; it's giving you or your loved one a safe, livable home back, at a pace that respects everyone involved.

You decide how involved you want to be. Family members are welcome to stay, step out, or join us for certain rooms. We sort alongside you, set keepsakes and valuables aside, and never throw things away carelessly.

  • Nothing is photographed or shared.
  • Keepsakes, documents, and valuables are set aside.
  • You choose a full cleanout or a room-by-room start.

For families helping a loved one

You are not alone in this.

If you're reading this for a parent or family member, you're doing the right thing by looking for help. Involve them in decisions where possible, expect the process to be emotional, and remember that professional crews handle these situations every week. Nothing you show us will shock us.

Start with a conversation, not a confrontation. If a whole-home cleanup feels too big, one room can be a respectful place to begin.
Clear before anything beginsA written estimate, not a surprise.

What does it cost?

Typical industry ranges run $1,000–$10,000, with most jobs falling between $3,000 and $7,000 depending on volume. Hoarding jobs vary more than almost any cleanup we do — a single room and a whole house are very different projects. We give you a free, written, itemized estimate after a walkthrough, so you know exactly what it costs before anything starts.

What to expect

What a typical job looks like

The steps below illustrate our standard approach. Every home and situation is different — your walkthrough and written estimate will reflect yours, and you set the pace throughout.

  1. Conversation. We start by listening. You tell us about the situation — the rooms involved, any deadlines like a move or inspection, and what matters most to you. No pressure, no judgment.
  2. Walkthrough & written estimate. We assess the volume room by room and give you an itemized price. You decide whether to start with the whole home or a single room.
  3. Sort & clear. Working alongside you at whatever pace you choose, we sort keepsakes, documents, and valuables aside, then clear the rest. Nothing is thrown away carelessly.
  4. Deep clean & restore. Once cleared, we deep-clean and sanitize so the home is safe, comfortable, and livable again — not just empty.

Will you throw everything away?

No. We sort with you; keepsakes, documents, and valuables are set aside. You decide what goes and what stays.

Do I need to be there during the cleanup?

Your choice. Some clients prefer to be present, while others hand us the keys. Either is fine.

How long does a hoarding cleanup take?

A single room can take a day; a full house can take a week or more. You'll get a timeline with your estimate.

Is it confidential?

Completely. We arrive in unmarked vehicles, wear plain uniforms, take no photos, and share nothing.

My parent won't accept help. What can I do?

Start with a conversation, not confrontation. We're happy to talk through approaches on a no-pressure call, and we can begin with a single room to build trust.

Do you clean after the clear-out?

Yes. After clearing, we deep-clean and sanitize so the home is safe and livable, not just empty.
