 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I honestly can’t thank this team enough. What they did for me today meant so much more than just a cleaning. It was a very emotional experience, and seeing my home finally feel clean, fresh, and livable again meant everything.

Jodie, Farren, and Melissa were absolutely incredible. They were so kind, friendly, and warm from the moment they arrived, and made the entire experience feel comfortable. It never felt like I had strangers in my home, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me through this.

There was also someone who helped with the disposal and transportation — I’m so sorry I forgot your name, but thank you as well for your help. It was all part of making this come together.

I’m genuinely so grateful to each of you for the work you did and the way you did it. You made a difficult situation feel lighter, and I’ll always appreciate that.

For anyone reading this, I would highly recommend them for professional and compassionate hoarding and cleaning services.

Wishing you all the very best in life. I’m sure you’ll continue to make many more people smile. :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was absolutely terrified prior to the team members coming to help me clean up my mother and brother's hoard after they left the family home. However, my fears were quelled about five minutes into working with Scott. The whole team that worked with me was fantastic, but a special shout-out to Scott who chatted with me as he worked like we were old friends. He was kind, compassionate, and worked with a whirlwind-like efficiency that was shocking. I could only afford to book them for one day, and in that time they got the main, community areas of the house cleaner than they had been in ten years. Scott gave me good advice and resources for any work that needed to be done in the future, and kept reassuring me that this was just a Tuesday for him. I was afraid of being judged for not being able to keep up with housework while living with two mentally ill hoarders, and he was so nice about everything. The whole day felt more like fun than work, and I am forever grateful for what 1st Hoarding Clean Up did for me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first phone call and first visit, the team at 1st Hoarders was gentle, non-judgemental, kind and compassionate.  I had a short window of time (less than 2-weeks) to clean a house that had been severely neglected. I found the team of workers to be incredibly compassionate, responsible and respectful of the property and items they disposed of. They ensured everything on my list was taken care of and explained the process thoroughly. I would not hesitate to reccommend them for small and large jobs. It's been life changing for the occupants and for myself to see the transformation of what they can do. In short, 'miracle workers' is the understatement of the year in terms of their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I contacted 1st Hoarding Clean Up in the middle of December, I had reached a crisis point regarding the state of my living space. And let’s not forget the shame associated with hoarding. But on the first day I met this amazing crew - Scott, Dave, and the rest of the crew (who names I can remember and I sincerely apologize) - I was immediately put at ease. They were so re-assuring, polite, and respectful and included me in part of their plans to sort things out. They always checked-in with me re items they weren’t sure should be discarded or not. Any anxiety I had was relieved by their professionalism. They worked diligently and the clean-up was amazing. I would highly recommend 1sr Hoarding Clean Up and especially Scott, Dave, and company to anyone who needs help facing hoarding issues that are overwhelming them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used 1st Hoarding Clean up to help my elderly grandfather declutter after a stay in the hospital. Initially he was very hesitant to allow anyone to help, but the tech Jerry was so kind and professional, my grandfather quickly warmed up to the idea. They removed so much unnecessary stuff and really helped to make his home more functional.

Jerry was so warm and helpful.

Kudos to the team!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company has the best people working for them. My home had become a bit of a nightmare and I was very embarrassed. From top to bottom they all treated me kindly and were quite wonderful to me. They also did a great job of cleaning and sorting things with me. I would highly recommend them to anyone suffering from having a very dirty home and helping with clutter and also removing unwanted items.

Questions Are Completely Normal

Feeling unsure is common. These questions explain how our process works and what you can expect. If anything is still unclear, we’d be happy to talk with you directly.

How much does hoarding cleanup cost in Vancouver?

It depends on the size of the property, amount of clutter, and whether biohazards are involved. We offer free estimates so you know exactly what to expect.

What is the difference between hoarding cleanup services and decluttering services?

Hoarding cleanup focuses on situations where extreme clutter creates safety or health risks and often requires specialized, compassionate support. Decluttering services handle everyday disorganization, helping people tidy and optimize their space without the deeper emotional or environmental challenges associated with hoarding.

Is hoarding cleanup kept confidential?

Yes. All hoarding cleanup services are handled with complete discretion. We protect your privacy, avoid judgment, and ensure that your situation is treated respectfully at every step.

Do I need to be present while the cleanup is happening?

You’re welcome to be present, but it’s not required. Many clients prefer to step away while our team works. We keep you updated and follow your instructions throughout the process.

How long does hoarding cleanup usually take?

The timeline depends on the size of the home, the level of clutter, and any safety concerns. Smaller projects may take a day, while larger or more complex situations can take several days. We provide a clear estimate after the walkthrough.

Do you also handle junk removal and donations?

Yes. Junk removal is included in our hoarding cleanup process, and we can also set aside items for donation. We sort belongings carefully, follow your instructions, and make sure everything is handled respectfully and responsibly.
