❓ What Is Hoarder Cleanup?
Hoarder cleanup means sorting, packing, removing and disposing of belongings that have built up in a home.
It is not the same thing as junk removal. Many people call asking for one and describe the other.
🗑️ Junk removal
A crew comes and hauls away things you have already decided to throw out. Nobody looks through anything.
🔍 Hoarder cleanup
We sort first. Papers, photographs, cash, jewelry and keepsakes come out of the pile before anything moves. We pack what you are keeping. We move it to your new home or to storage. Only approved items leave.
That difference is worth real money. Deeds, titles, savings bonds, wedding rings and military records turn up inside bags that look like trash from a few feet away. A hauling crew never sees them. Our crew is looking for them.
We can clean out one room, one apartment, or a whole house.
Please do not tidy up before we get there. There is nothing to be embarrassed about and nothing to prepare.

💵 How Much Does Hoarder Cleanup Cost in Hampton?
Most cleanouts are quoted after we look at the property. Cleanouts with rodent droppings cost $500 per hour for four movers and a truck.
Before we quote anything, we tell you what kind of job you actually have. Sometimes that saves you money.
A real hoarder cleanout takes more than one day. If a property can be cleared in one short visit, it is heavy clutter, not a hoarder cleanout. Heavy clutter is quoted at our regular moving rates, which cost less.
This happens more often than you would think. We would rather lose the bigger job than sell you something your home does not need.
📋 What Changes the Price
How many movers we need
How many days the job takes
Whether we need a truck, a dumpster, or both
How much material there is and how heavy it is
How much sorting and packing you want
Stairs, elevators, and how far we have to carry things
Landfill and disposal fees
Whether rodents, mold or other hazards are present
Regular cleanouts are quoted after we look at the property. They cost less than our rodent rate. Send photos or book a walkthrough, and you will have a number before you agree to anything.
⚠️ Our Published Rate for Rodent Cleanouts
A hoarder cleanout with rodent droppings costs $500 per hour. That covers four movers and a truck.
This is our highest price. Most cleanouts never reach it.
The higher rate pays for real costs. Rodent droppings and animal waste mean respirators and protective gear. The crew has to work slower and more carefully. There is more risk to their health. The waste has to go to a different place than regular trash.
The clock starts when the crew arrives and begins work.
What That Adds Up To
One crew day, 8 hours
$4,000
Two crew days, 16 hours
$8,000
Three crew days, 24 hours
$12,000
You may also pay extra for landfill fees, dumpsters, extra trucks, protective gear, very heavy debris, hazardous materials, pest control, mold or biohazard cleanup, or work beyond what we agreed to.
Please tell us ahead of time about any rodents, animal waste, insects, mold, needles or other hazards. If we find something hidden after we start, we stop. We look again, and we explain any change in price before we go any further.

📊 How Bad Is It? A Simple Scale
Most families do not know whether what they are looking at counts as hoarding, or just a house that got away from them.
Doctors and social workers use a scale from 1 to 9. A 1 is an empty, tidy room. A 9 is a room packed floor to ceiling.
Read the list below and find the one closest to your worst room.
Level 1
Floors and surfaces are clear.
Level 2
A little clutter on tables and counters.
Level 3
Clutter is collecting along the walls.
Level 4
Furniture is partly covered.
Level 5
There is less floor space than there used to be.
Level 6
Some rooms cannot be used the way they were meant to be used.
Level 7
Only one narrow path is left through the room.
Level 8
Furniture is buried and cannot be seen.
Level 9
The room cannot be walked through at all.
🟢 Levels 1 to 3 — Cluttered, Not Hoarded
The rooms still work. Floors and doorways are clear. This is regular moving work at our regular rates, not a cleanout.
🟡 Levels 4 to 6 — Heavy Buildup
Furniture is disappearing under things. Paths are getting tighter. Rooms are losing the purpose they were built for. Cleanout work usually starts here.
🔴 Levels 7 to 9 — Severe Hoarding
Rooms cannot be walked through. Doors will not open all the way. Health hazards and damage to the home become likely. These jobs take several days and a full crew.
You do not need to know your number before you call.
📱 Text photos to 757-330-0008 and we will tell you what we see. You do not have to talk to anyone. Nothing you send goes anywhere else.
This scale is based on the Clutter Image Rating (Frost, Steketee, Tolin and Renaud, 2008). It is a guide, not a diagnosis.

🎖️ Military Families and Older Peninsula Homes
Two things shape cleanout work in Hampton.
Joint Base Langley-Eustis and Military Moves
Report dates do not move. When a service member has orders and a property has to be cleared before that date, the deadline decides everything. It sets the crew size, the number of days, and the disposal plan.
Tell us the report date first. We will tell you honestly whether it can be done.
We also help military families who are handling a parent's home from far away. Some are in another state. Some are overseas. One person you choose can direct the whole job by phone and photos.
Older Homes on the Peninsula
Many Hampton homes have attics, basements, crawlspaces, detached garages and sheds. Newer homes often do not.
Things build up in those spaces for years without anyone noticing. That material is heavier and harder to move than anything inside the house.
When we look at a Hampton property, we ask about those spaces first. They usually hold most of the work.
📞 Call or text 757-330-0008.
──────────────────────────
🛡️ Respectful, Judgment-Free Service
A hoarding situation is never only about clutter. Papers, photographs, money, jewelry, medicine and family keepsakes end up mixed in with things headed for the trash.
Our crew does not assume anything is trash.
Before we remove anything, we sort belongings into seven groups:
Keep
Pack and move
Put in storage
Donate
Recycle
Throw away
Set aside to decide later
That last group exists because sometimes the honest answer is "ask me tomorrow." Nothing in that group moves until you say so.
Every final decision belongs to you, or to the person you choose to speak for you.
We are not there to shame anyone. We are there to make your home safer, clearer and easier to live in.

⏰ Working Against a Deadline
Some cleanouts have a date attached and no room to move it. If that is your situation, tell us the date first.
We work against:
Military report dates for a Permanent Change of Station (PCS)
Eviction dates
Real estate closing dates
Section 8 and Housing Choice Voucher inspections
City of Hampton code deadlines
Landlord notices to fix a problem
Assisted living and nursing home move-in dates
Estate and probate deadlines

Give us the deadline, the number of rooms, and the condition of the home. We will tell you straight whether it can be done and what size crew it takes.
If it cannot be done in time, we will say so. We will not take a deposit and leave you worse off than when you called.
📞 Call or text 757-330-0008 with your deadline.

🗺️ Our Five Steps
1. Private Consultation
Tell us where the property is, how many rooms are affected, and what you need. We will ask about access, furniture, debris and any hazards you know about.
2. Looking at the Property
Photos are usually enough for a first estimate. Bigger jobs, or ones with hazards, may need someone on site.
3. The Plan
We decide together what stays, what can go, what gets packed and moved, how many movers we need, whether we need a truck or a container, where the waste goes, and what it will cost.
4. Sorting, Packing and Removal
The crew works the plan you approved. Important belongings are separated and packed. Approved furniture, junk and debris are removed.
5. Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished job with you, or with the person you chose. We identify anything still left to do.

Here is what we find:
Rodent droppings
Animal urine or waste
Live insect infestations
Spoiled food
Mold
Needles
Body fluids
Sewage
Strong odors
Damaged or unsafe floors
Please tell us what you know about before we start.
If we find a hazard once work is underway, we may stop. We look at the property again. If protective gear, special handling, pest control or different disposal is needed, we explain the change in price before we continue.
Hampton Virginia Military Veteran Movers provides sorting, packing, moving, debris loading and property cleanout. Some work needs a different kind of company. That includes pest control, mold cleanup, sewage cleanup, trauma cleanup and other biohazard work.
We will not put customers, residents or our own crew into unsafe conditions to finish a job faster.

🗣️ Questions People Ask Us
How much does hoarder cleanup cost in Hampton?
Most cleanouts are quoted after we look at the property. Cleanouts with rodent droppings cost $500 per hour for four movers and a truck, or $4,000 for a full crew day. That is our highest price and most jobs never reach it. Regular cleanouts cost less.
What is the difference between hoarder cleanup and junk removal?
Junk removal hauls away what you have already decided to throw out. Hoarder cleanup adds sorting, packing, finding important belongings, working with family, and moving the things you keep.
Will you throw everything away?
No. We follow your instructions, or those of the person you choose to speak for you. Things can be kept, packed, moved, stored, donated, recycled or thrown out. Nothing leaves without your say-so.
Can you move the things I want to keep?
Yes. We pack and move your approved belongings to a new home or to a storage unit.
How long does a hoarder cleanout take?
More than one day. If a property clears in one short visit, that is heavy clutter rather than a hoarder cleanout, and it costs our regular moving rate.
How soon can you start?
Often the next day. It depends on the size of the job, the crew needed, disposal arrangements and our current schedule. Call early if you have a deadline.
Can you give me a price from photos?
Yes, for a first estimate. Text photos to 757-330-0008. Big or hazardous properties may need someone to come look.
Do I have to be there during the cleanout?
No. A family member, property manager or someone else you authorize can direct the work. We just need to know who decides before we start removing anything.
Can you clean out an apartment?
Yes. Apartments, condominiums, high-rise buildings and senior residences. Send us the building requirements, such as elevator reservations, loading dock access and Certificates of Insurance, before we schedule.
Can you clean out a storage unit?
Yes, as long as you have the legal right to the unit and its contents.
Do you handle rodent droppings?
Yes. Rodent problems get looked at separately and cost $500 per hour for four movers and a truck. How much there is affects the protective gear, the process and where the waste goes.
Do you provide pest control?
No. A live infestation may need treatment by a licensed pest control company before or during the cleanout.
Do you provide biohazard cleanup?
No. We provide cleanout, packing, moving and debris loading. Sewage, blood, body fluids, heavy animal waste and similar hazards need a specialized company.
Do you work with military families at Langley?
Yes. We handle cleanouts on PCS timelines. We can also work with someone you authorize when the service member is not local.
