We understand hoarding disorder is a complex challenge, not a choice. Our team provides compassionate, judgment-free cleanup services with complete confidentiality. Whether you're helping a family member or seeking help for yourself, we're here to support you with dignity and respect.
Hoarding situations often involve more than junk removal alone. Whether you’re dealing with hoarding disorder, severe clutter, or a heavily cluttered home, our team provides respectful, judgment-free cleanup services designed to help families and property owners regain safe, usable space.

Our Process — At Your Pace
We don't show up and start throwing things away. Here's how a typical hoarding cleanup with Horton's Hauling goes:
1. Confidential consultation 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.
2. On-site estimate We visit the property, assess the scope, and give you a firm price before any work begins. No surprises.
3. Sorting and removal 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. We'll set aside obvious donations and recycling where possible.
4. Final haul and cleanup 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.
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 Pricing in Baltimore
Pricing depends on the size of the property, the volume of material, and how much access we have. Most hoarding cleanouts in the Baltimore area range from $500 to $5,000+, with most residential jobs falling somewhere in the middle of that range.
We offer:
-
Free estimates by text photo or in-person consultation
-
Phased cleanouts — tackle one room or one floor at a time to spread the cost
-
Flexible scheduling, including same-week availability in most cases
We'll never pressure you to move faster than you're ready to. If you want to phase the work over several visits, we'll plan for that from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hoarding Cleanup
How is hoarding cleanup different from regular junk removal? Regular junk removal is straightforward — items are ready to go, and we load and haul. Hoarding cleanouts involve much more: assessing the full scope of the property, working carefully through heavily accumulated spaces, often sorting items the client wants to keep, and navigating situations that may be emotionally difficult for the family involved. We price accordingly and approach it differently.
How much does hoarding cleanup cost in Baltimore? Most jobs range from $500 to $5,000 depending on property size, volume, and access. We always provide a firm estimate before starting. Text us photos of the space for a ballpark figure before committing to anything.
Can you work room by room? Yes. We can clear one room or one floor at a time, which works well for clients who need to phase the work financially or emotionally. We'll map out a plan with you before we start.
How quickly can you schedule a hoarding cleanup? Same-week availability is common. Call or text 443-894-4956 and we'll tell you what's open.
Do you handle the situation if the person with hoarding disorder is still living in the home? Yes, and we do this regularly. We're respectful of the person whose home it is and don't treat the job like a demolition. If the resident wants to be involved in the sorting process, we work with them, not around them.
Do you donate or recycle items? Where we can, yes. Usable furniture, clothing, and household goods get directed toward donation. We try to minimize what goes to the landfill, though in heavily hoarded situations most items aren't in a condition for donation.
What if there are hazardous materials in the home? Send us photos first. We'll tell you honestly whether we can handle it or whether you need a licensed biohazard or remediation company involved first. We'd rather be upfront than show up unprepared.
Is the service confidential? Yes. We don't discuss job details, don't share photos, and can arrange discreet arrival if needed. Whatever you share with us stays with us.
