Behind every number on this page is a household. This page publishes what the work pays, from our own pay records — the Hampton edition of a record the company keeps the same way in every market it serves.

3,895 dollars and 75 cents paid to crew members — 21 payments to 9 working men, from September 26 to October 23, 2026. That is the stretch of our records where crew pay is listed one payment at a time.

127 man-hours documented on four jobs alone. That counts only the four jobs where the hours are written down. The real total is higher — we just will not guess at it.

Crew pay rates: 28 dollars an hour standard in Hampton Roads. On the October 19, 2026 job, the record shows 30 dollars an hour actually paid — above the standard. Gainesville crews start at 30 dollars an hour; proven hands earn 35. Hoarder cleanout crews earn 50 dollars an hour under the current rate — the one hoarder job in this pay window ran before that rate was set, and its crew was paid 40 dollars an hour.

Crews are paid the same day the job is done.

Pay follows hours, so here are the hours we can prove, job by job. These four jobs are the only ones in the record with the hours stated — that is why the count stops at 127.

Norfolk, October 30, 2026 — a trailer-to-trailer loading job worked by a crew of three: one man worked 7 hours, two men worked 8 and a half hours each. 24 man-hours.

Norfolk, October 14 to 16, 2026 — a hoarder cleanout: four men, 8 hours a day for two days, then 3 more hours. 76 man-hours.

Norfolk to Richmond, October 19, 2026 — two men: one worked 7 and a half hours, the other 6 and a half. 14 man-hours.

Gainesville, Florida, October 2026 — three men worked 3 hours, then two men worked 2 more hours. 13 man-hours.

24 + 76 + 14 + 13 = 127 man-hours. That is a floor. The other jobs in the record do not have their hours written down, so they are not counted here.

This work is on-call and part-time, and the same men keep answering. One crew member has worked with this company about four years. Another has worked our jobs about four to five years.

When a man gets paid the same day, every time, for years — he comes back, and the customer gets a crew that knows the work.

Do I have to be a veteran to work on a crew?
No. Veterans get first look at openings, and our crews are veterans and civilian professionals working side by side.

Who gets hired first?
Veterans get first look at every crew opening, and veterans in recovery get first look too. That is a standing rule, not a slogan — our Gainesville hiring asks every applicant his veteran status for exactly this reason.

When do crews get paid?
The same day the job is finished. That is the standing practice, and the pay record above is the proof: on October 17, 2026, a 350-dollar Zelle landed the same day as the job it followed, about four hours after the job started.

What does crew work pay?
28 dollars an hour is the standard Hampton Roads rate. Gainesville starts at 30 dollars an hour, 35 for proven hands — on time, makes the courtesy call himself, hours that match the customer's account. Hoarder cleanout work pays 50 dollars an hour.

Do you hire in Gainesville too?
Yes. Gainesville crews start at 30 dollars an hour, and proven men earn 35 dollars an hour.

Why does the record start on September 26, 2026?
Because that is where the itemized pay record in our files starts. Men worked and were paid before that date, and after October 23 too — those payments just are not listed one by one in the records behind this page, so we do not count them here.

Why publish your pay records?
Companies talk about supporting working families. We would rather show the record. Every figure on this page comes from a real payment, and the page is updated as new records are verified.
