Our Step-by-Step Hoarder Cleanout Process
First Visit and Assessment
We come look at the situation and talk with you about your goals, which items are important to keep, any safety concerns, how long the process might take, and costs. We never pressure anyone to throw away things they want to keep.
Create a Plan Together
We work with you to make a plan that feels comfortable: which rooms to start with, how fast or slow to work, where to put items you want to keep, and scheduling that works for everyone involved.
Start with Safety First
Before we do anything else, we make sure the home is safe: clear pathways for emergency exits, remove fire hazards, address any pest problems, check for structural issues, and ensure utilities are working safely.
Sort Through Everything Carefully
We go through items slowly and carefully: work with you to decide what to keep, set aside valuable items, sort for donation or disposal, take photos of items you're unsure about, and never throw away anything without permission.
Clean and Restore the Space
After removing unwanted items: deep clean all surfaces, sanitize areas that need it, address any damage we can, organize remaining items neatly, and make the space livable again.
Follow-up Support
We don't just leave after the cleanout: check on how you're doing, provide resources for ongoing help, coordinate with therapists or counselors, help with maintenance if needed, and be available for future support.
