What Horton's Hauling Handles

hoarding cleanup

Sorting and Organizing
We don't just load and go. Before hauling begins, we work through the property with you (or your designated contact) to sort items into categories: keep, donate, and remove. Nothing leaves without approval.

 
Hauling and Disposal
We load everything being removed — furniture, boxes, clothing, appliances, debris — and haul it away in our truck. Multiple truckloads are common on larger jobs and are factored into the upfront quote.

 
Donation Coordination

Usable furniture in reasonable condition, clothing, and housewares can be set aside for donation to local Baltimore-area charities. We'll separate them during sorting and advise on what's typically accepted.
 
Full Property Cleanup
After all items are removed, we sweep and clean the cleared spaces. We leave the property broom-clean and ready for whatever comes next — a deep clean, repairs, listing for sale, or simply moving forward.

 
Privacy and Discretion
We arrive in an unmarked truck, work professionally, and do not discuss your job with anyone outside the crew. Many of our hoarding cleanup clients coordinate with us remotely — we can communicate by text, send progress photos, and work with a designated contact person if the resident isn't present.

Who Calls Us

​

Hoarding cleanouts are rarely simple junk removal jobs — and our callers reflect that. We hear from:

​

  • Family members stepping in to help a parent, sibling, or adult child who has been struggling

  • Property managers and landlords dealing with a unit left in extreme condition after a tenant moves out or passes away

  • Realtors and estate executors preparing a property for sale or settlement

  • Seniors who are downsizing and feel overwhelmed by decades of belongings

  • Individuals who are ready to get help and want a team they can trust to treat them with respect

 

Whoever you are, we approach every call the same way: listen first, no pressure, no judgment.

Hoarding Cleanup Process

We don't show up and start throwing things away. Here's how a typical hoarding cleanup with Horton's Hauling goes:

​

Step 1: Free Assessment

​

Call or text us at 443-894-4956. You can share photos via text for a ballpark estimate before anyone comes to the property. All conversations are completely private.

 

​Step 2: Create a Cleanup Plan

 

We visit the property, assess the scope, and give you a firm price before any work begins. No surprises.

 

Step 3: Remove & Haul Away Items

 

We work room by room, at whatever pace you're comfortable with. If you want to sort through items yourself and have us remove only what you've designated, we can do that. If you want us to take everything and focus on getting the space cleared quickly, we can do that too.

 

Step 4: Donation & Responsible Disposal

​

We'll set aside obvious donations and recycling where possible.

 

Step 5: Final Sweep

​

Everything gets loaded, hauled, and responsibly disposed of. We leave the space swept and ready for whatever comes next — whether that's moving in, listing the property, or simply breathing again.

Before & After — Hoarding Cleanup Jobs in Baltimore County

Every hoarding cleanup situation is different. The jobs below represent real work we've completed across Baltimore City and Baltimore County. Details are generalized to protect client privacy. Photos shared with permission.

What We Can't Remove

We want to be upfront about this. Some situations require specialists before or alongside our work:

  • Biohazardous material (human or animal waste, needles, blood) — requires a licensed biohazard remediation company

  • Active pest infestations — pest control should come first

  • Mold or structural damage — requires licensed remediation

  • Regulated or hazardous waste — paint, chemicals, propane tanks, and similar items need proper disposal channels

If you're not sure whether your situation involves any of these, send us photos and we'll give you an honest assessment. We'd rather point you in the right direction than take your money and leave you with an incomplete job.

⭐ Hoarding Cleanup Reviews – Horton’s Hauling

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maxine Porter – Family Basement Cleanout (60+ Years of Belongings)

"Horton’s Hauling took a heartfelt, emotional, overwhelming experience cleaning out my parents’ basement of 60 years of stuff and made it manageable. From my first interaction until the end of the day, they were professional, caring, respectful, honest, patient, and understanding. The young crew they sent out was a 10 out of 10. They are my family team now."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eva Kelly – Tenant Move-Out & Property Cleanout

Hoarding Cleanup FAQs — Baltimore, MD

How long does a hoarding cleanup take in Baltimore?

A Level 1–2 situation (clutter in one or two rooms) typically takes 2–4 hours. A Level 3–4 cleanout (multiple blocked rooms throughout the home) usually runs a full day or may require two visits. A Level 5 property — where every room is affected and debris extends outside — typically requires 2–3 days. We give you an honest time estimate after reviewing photos, before we schedule.

How much does hoarding cleanup cost in Baltimore?

Single-room or small situations start around $300–$500. Full home cleanouts commonly run $800–$2,500 depending on property size and number of truckloads. We provide an upfront price range based on photos before any work begins. Call or text 443-894-4956.

Do you work with families coordinating cleanup for a relative?

Yes. Many of our hoarding cleanup jobs are arranged by an adult child or family member on behalf of a parent or relative. We do not require the resident to be present if the family has arranged access. We communicate by text, send progress photos, and work with whoever is coordinating.

Will you sort items before hauling, or does everything go?

We work however the situation requires. If the family wants specific categories set aside — photos, documents, valuables, items for donation — we sort as we load. If everything needs to go, we move efficiently. We take direction from whoever is coordinating. Nothing leaves without approval.

Do you handle hoarding cleanup for rental properties and landlords?

Yes. We work with landlords and property managers throughout Baltimore City and County to clear rental units following difficult tenancies. We can document the job with before/after photos for eviction or damage records. Contact us at 443-894-4956 for same-week scheduling.

What is your privacy policy for hoarding cleanup jobs?

We arrive professionally and discreetly. We do not discuss client situations with anyone outside the crew. Many clients prefer to coordinate remotely — by text or phone — and we accommodate that fully. We treat every property and every family situation with the same respect.
