Hoarder Cleanouts

YOU CALL... WE HAUL! • ROSEVILLE & PLACER COUNTY

Discreet Cleaning & Clearing Services

Cleaning out a home with a lot of chronic clutter takes more than just a big truck—it requires patience, respect, and privacy. As a family team, we understand how overwhelming this can be. We work closely with families, executors, or property managers to clear out spaces carefully, safely, and without any judgment. We take our time to sort through things, helping you salvage important keepsakes while hauling away the rest.

  • Confidential Crew: We use unmarked trailers and work quietly without drawing unnecessary attention.
  • Keepsake Retrieval: We sort item-by-item, looking for personal photos, lost valuables, and legal papers.
  • Safety First: Our crew comes prepared with proper safety gear (PPE) for dusty or hazardous rooms.
  • Donation First: We try to salvage, clean, and donate reusable items to Placer County charities.
  • Broom-Clean Finish: We sweep and vacuum every space we clear out, leaving it ready for repairs.

Understanding Hoarding Levels (The NSGCD Scale)

When you contact us about a hoarding cleanup, we assess the space using the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization (NSGCD) scale. This helps us plan the right safety gear and figure out how many trucks to bring. Here is a quick look at the levels:

What to Expect on the Day of the Cleanout

We know that cleanup day can feel overwhelming. Chris and the boys work hard to make things run smoothly and quietly. When we arrive, we'll start with a quick walk-through to confirm the plan. We work systematically, cleaning out one room at a time so we don't make a mess elsewhere. We sort as we load, making sure we don't throw away family photos, heirlooms, or important paperwork. You are welcome to stay and guide us, or you can leave us with a checklist—whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

Working with Families, Executors, and Property Managers

Most of our hoarding cleanup jobs are coordinated by family members helping a parent, executors clearing out a probate estate, or property managers dealing with a tenant move-out. We know the unique pressures of each situation. We communicate clearly, work within your timeline, and provide itemized invoices for estate records or business accounts. If the process feels too stressful, we can split the job over multiple days to make it manageable for everyone involved.

Biohazard and Safety Protocols

Safety is our top priority on these jobs. Blocking pathways and storing items for years can lead to mold, rodent droppings, and safety hazards like broken glass or sharps. Our crew comes equipped with respirators, heavy-duty gloves, and protective suits for Level 3 to Level 5 situations. We use thick containment bags to keep dust and allergens from spreading. For homes with severe sewage or hazardous waste, we coordinate with specialized remediation teams to make the space safe before we haul the remaining junk.

Timeline & Cost Estimates

Because hoarding cleanouts are complex, we can't offer a flat rate over the phone. We always do a free on-site estimate first. Here is a rough guide based on our past jobs:

We outline all costs upfront in writing so there are no surprises when the job is done.

Our Privacy & Confidentiality Promise

We keep our work private. We don't have giant signs on our trailers advertising hoarding cleanups, and our crew works quietly to prevent neighbors from asking questions. We never take photos of faces, personal papers, or house numbers. The only photos we take are for quoting and internal insurance records, and they are deleted as soon as the job is complete. You can trust our family to handle yours with respect and privacy.
