Hoarder house cleanup, handled quietly
Hoarding and heavy-accumulation cleanouts, handled quietly. We work with families, APS referrals, code enforcement deadlines and property managers — and we find what matters before it goes. No judgment. No audience. Just the work.
- From $2,200. Discreet, unmarked arrival available. We go at the pace the family can handle.
- Typical job: 2-5 days. Average ticket in this market runs about $4,200.
- Fixed written price before any work starts.
Hoarder home cleanout: what the job actually is
A hoarder house cleanup is not a bigger junk haul. It is a whole-property clear done around a person, a family and often a deadline, and most of the work is sorting, not lifting.
- It starts with a conversation, not a crew. We talk privately with whoever is managing the situation before anyone comes out. No crew shows up unannounced.
- The walkthrough is discreet. An unmarked vehicle if you want one. You get a fixed written price afterward, not an hourly clock. Most hoarder home cleanouts here land between $2,200 and $12,000.
- Nothing important goes in the trailer by accident. Cash, documents, photos, jewelry and medication turn up in these houses constantly. Each one is photographed and set aside.
- It can go one room at a time. If the person living there is not ready, the plan follows their pace, not ours.
Two things we do not do ourselves: sharps and medical waste, which need a licensed partner we bring in, and structural repair. If a code enforcement notice is behind the call, read what the notice deadlines mean and have the date ready. When you want to talk it through, start a private quote or call.
Hoarder cleaning near me: the clear-out first, then the clean
Most people searching for a cleaning service for a hoarder's house need two jobs done in order: the contents cleared out, then the house cleaned. We do the first one ourselves and line up the second.
- The clear-out is ours. Spoiled food, rotted material, damaged furniture and flooring all come out, with documents, photos and valuables set aside as we go. Animal waste and affected material are bid separately.
- The house is left broom-clean at minimum. If it needs a deeper clean after that, we bring in a cleaning partner rather than pretend a hauling crew is a cleaning crew.
- Near you means within 55 miles of our Lockeford yard. That covers Sacramento, Stockton, Lodi, Elk Grove and every city in the list further down this page. Not on the list? Send the address and we will tell you straight whether we can get there.
The walkthrough is free and the price after it is fixed in writing. Call (209) 200-8373 to set one up.
What we take
- Full contents of a heavily accumulated property
- Spoiled food and rotted material
- Damaged furniture and flooring
- Animal waste and affected material (bid separately)
- Documents — sorted and set aside, not dumped
What we can't
- Sharps and medical waste without a licensed partner — we bring one in
- Structural repair — we clear, we do not rebuild
Nobody legitimate takes household hazardous waste on a junk run — it has to go through a county HHW event. We separate it out, stack it where you can find it, and tell you the nearest drop-off date instead of quietly leaving it in a corner.
What hoarding cleanup cost
$2,200 – $12,000
Fixed written price after a discreet walkthrough.
The spread is real and it is mostly about square footage, how full the property is, and whether there is a garage, shed, outbuilding or yard in scope. We would rather walk it, hand you a fixed number, and be held to it than quote an hourly rate that quietly grows on day two.
Anything outside the walkthrough scope — a fridge, heavy debris, a long carry — is priced from the published hoarding cleanup rate card, the same book every job uses.
How it works
- 1
A private conversation first
We talk to whoever is managing this before we come out. No crew shows up unannounced.
- 2
Discreet walkthrough and fixed scope
Unmarked vehicle if you want one. Written price, no hourly clock.
- 3
Layered clearing with a set-aside protocol
Cash, documents, photos, jewelry and medication turn up in these houses constantly. Every one gets photographed and set aside.
- 4
Clear, clean, and a path forward
Broom-clean at minimum. We can bring in a cleaning partner and give you a deadline-compliant completion package if code enforcement is involved.
Questions people actually ask
Will the neighbors know?
Not from us. We can arrive in an unmarked vehicle, work with the garage door down, and stage loads out of sight. Say the word when you book.
My parent is still living there and does not want this.
Then we go at their pace, not ours. We have done multi-visit cleanouts where the first day is one room. Forcing it does not work and it damages the relationship. Tell us the situation honestly and we will build the plan around it.
There is a code enforcement deadline.
Tell us the date and the case number. We have worked against county abatement deadlines before and we will give you a completion package with dated photos that satisfies most inspectors.
How much does hoarding cleanup cost?
$2,200 to $12,000 depending on the property and the severity. It is priced from a walkthrough, fixed in writing, and we would rather overscope it and come in under than the reverse.
What is the average cost of hoarding cleanup?
We do not quote a national average, because it says little about your house. Our hoarding jobs run $2,200 to $12,000. Where a house lands in that range comes down to square footage, how full it is, and whether a garage, shed, outbuilding or yard is in scope. Animal waste and affected material are bid separately.
Do hoarder cleaning services charge by the hour?
Some do. We do not. Every drawer has to be opened before anything leaves, and that part does not speed up with a bigger crew, so an hourly number tends to grow on day two. We walk the property, then give you one fixed written price. If the job turns out bigger than what was scoped, we stop and requote before carrying on.
How do I help a hoarder clean up?
Start with the person, not the pile. Talk with them before anyone books a crew, and expect the first visit to be one room rather than the whole house. Agree on what gets kept: cash, documents, photos, jewelry and medication turn up constantly, and we photograph and set aside every one so nothing they care about leaves by accident. We clear houses; we are not counselors. If they need support beyond a plan and a truck, line it up alongside the cleanout, not after it.
What is included in a hoarder house cleanup?
Clearing the accumulated contents of the property, including spoiled food, damaged furniture and flooring, with documents, photos and valuables set aside as we go, and leaving the house broom-clean. Animal waste and affected material are bid separately, and sharps or medical waste go to a licensed partner we bring in. The fixed written price covers exactly what the walkthrough scoped: $2,200 to $12,000 for most properties.

Hoarding Cleanup by city
Every city page has the local disposal facility, the gate rate, and the drive time from our yard — because those three numbers are what actually set your price.
