Hoarding cleanup in San Diego. Paced for the person, not the clock.
Hoarding situations are never just cluttered — they're grief, anxiety, sometimes trauma made physical. We work with the client, family members, and often a therapist or case manager. We don't throw anything away the client hasn't okayed. We come back as many days as it takes.

What do homeowners ask about Hoarding Cleanup?
Will you throw things out the client says to keep?
Never. The only rule we live by. Nothing leaves unless the client says so (or if the client can't decide, the family member or conservator with authority). That's why hoarding cleanups take time. It has to.
Do you work with therapists?
Yes. We've worked with LCSWs and licensed hoarding specialists who are on-site during the work. Their presence often determines whether the work is successful.
What if there's a biohazard situation?
Rodent infestation, mold, severe sanitation — we refer to a licensed biohazard remediation company first. Those require PPE and certifications we don't carry. We come in afterward.
Is this confidential?
Completely. Unmarked trucks when requested. We do not share client names, photos, or addresses with anyone without written permission. Most of our hoarding work, no one in the neighborhood knows we were there.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Hadn't parked a car in the garage since 2019. Called Monday, they were there Wednesday morning, and by 1 p.m. I had an empty garage swept clean. Flat price, no hourly nonsense, and they donated half of it to Habitat ReStore.
Dad passed and we had six weeks to list the house. Clear Out walked through with my sister and me, flagged three things that turned out to be worth something, and finished the whole 2,800 sq ft home in three days. Broom-clean handoff. Realtor was impressed.
Old sectional had to come out before the new one was delivered. Third-floor walk-up, narrow staircase. Two guys, 45 minutes, no charge for the stairs. They took a bookshelf and a dresser too — $275 flat. Couldn't have done it alone.
