Questions about hoarding cleanout
Will you decide what gets thrown away?
The customer or an authorized decision-maker identifies what stays and what may leave. Set aside documents, medication, cash, jewelry, photographs, and irreplaceable items before removal begins.
Can the work be done one room at a time?
A room-by-room sequence can be discussed during the scope review. Timing depends on volume, access, decision pace, and conditions at the property.
