FEEDBACK FROM A HOARDING CLEANOUT CUSTOMER

Alex and his crew worked their magic and really came through for us. I have a friend recovering from a some health concerns and was not going to be able to return home in the condition it was in. They worked with our budget, and were prompt, friendly and professional. They certainly went above and beyond. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. BIG THANKS to Alex!

REMOVAL & HAULING

Practical help to make your home feel manageable again.

We do more than carry the large pieces to the truck. Our crew removes bulky waste, unwanted furniture, household items, and accumulated rubbish. We can also clear out cabinets, empty containers and refrigerators, bag loose debris, and sweep the areas we’ve cleared.

Start with the room that would make the biggest difference to your day, or let us help with a larger cleanout. You don’t need to have it all sorted or carried outside before we arrive.

Your belongings. Your decisions. Your pace.

You’re in charge of what stays. We can work alongside you to separate belongings you want to keep, set aside anything you’re unsure about, and remove what you’re ready to let go. There’s no need to feel guilty or embarrassed about asking for help.

A day, several days, or a full week: we’ll talk through the time you need and arrange the crew and schedule together. You deserve room to look through belongings, take a break, and make decisions without feeling hurried. The sorting help and time we plan are included in your quote.

Keep documents, medication, photographs, and sentimental items aside when you can. Anything undecided can stay out of the load while you think it over. A successful cleanout is progress you’re comfortable with, not a race to an empty house.

Making room for the next step. Removing built-up contents and bulky waste opens up the areas that need attention. We handle the clear-out and sweeping; deep cleaning and pest control are separate services provided by other specialists. Our work helps make the space accessible for that next stage. Let us know about infestations, hazardous materials, or unsafe areas beforehand so we can plan safely and identify any specialist help needed before removal.

Helping a parent or arranging support from another city? We’re happy to coordinate with you and the person who can approve removal. We’ll work out what stays, access to the property, and how to keep in touch, so your loved one has support and everyone understands the plan.

A PRACTICAL WAY TO BEGIN

Three simple steps.

01

Tell us what you need.

Call, text or use the quote form. Tell us which areas need attention, what matters to you and your preferred timing. Share photos of the items or rooms only when you are comfortable doing so.

02

Agree on a plan and price.

We listen to your priorities and talk through what stays, the help you need, and a comfortable pace. For a larger cleanout, we can visit to plan the work together. You’ll know the schedule and price before we start.

03

Let our crew handle the removal.

We provide the sorting help we’ve planned, remove the unwanted contents and bulky waste, and sweep the cleared areas. We’ll check in as we go and leave you in control of the decisions.

CLEAR PRICING

How much does a hoarding cleanout cost?

Upfront pricing. No hidden fees.

The cost depends on how much needs to be removed, the sorting help and labor involved, and any conditions that require extra care. We explain what is included and agree on the price before removal begins. Any additional work is discussed and approved first.

A phone conversation or photos can help with an initial estimate. A more involved cleanout may need an in-person assessment before we can confirm the final quote.

Questions about hoarding cleanouts

Yes. Tell us which areas you would like help with and what you know you want to keep. You do not need to have a complete plan or send photographs before the first conversation. We will explain the next step and what preparation is needed.

You decide what stays. We can work alongside you to separate keepers, set aside anything undecided, and gather the items you want removed. Tell us what sorting help would make the process easier so we can plan the time together and include it in your quote.

We can discuss one room, a basement or a larger property cleanout. The quote covers the agreed areas and materials rather than requiring you to clear the whole home.

Yes. We’re happy to coordinate with family members and property representatives, including those who live elsewhere. We’ll make sure the person with authority to approve removal is involved, understand what your loved one wants to keep, and arrange access and communication before the visit.

We remove unwanted furniture, bulky waste, and accumulated contents. We can clear out cabinets, empty containers and refrigerators, bag loose debris, and sweep cleared areas. Deep cleaning and pest control are handled by other providers; clearing the space helps make that next step possible. Hazardous contamination may need specialist attention before we can work safely, so tell us about any concerns when arranging the visit.

We work with you to choose a pace that feels manageable. Your cleanout might take a day, several days, or a full week, depending on the amount to remove and the time you’d like for sorting and decisions. We’ll agree on the crew time, schedule, and price together. Share any deadline or need for breaks early so we can build that into the plan.

You can start with a phone call without sending pictures or a personal history. Before sharing photos or arranging a visit, raise any privacy concerns so we can discuss how information and photographs will be used. Avoid including faces, mail, financial papers or other identifying details in quote photos.

We explain the included work and confirm the price before removal starts. An early estimate may need an on-site assessment before it becomes a confirmed quote. Extra work is not added without discussing the scope and price with you first.

LOCAL SERVICE

Knoxville and nearby communities.

We serve Knoxville, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Farragut, Lenoir City, Clinton, Kingston, Harriman and nearby communities. Share your city or ZIP code so we can confirm service and scheduling for your property.

Start with a conversation.

You don’t have to make the home presentable before asking us for help. We’ve been through this with customers many times, and you’ll be met with patience and respect, not judgment. Whether you are ready for one room or a week of steady progress, start with a conversation. We’ll work out the next step together.

Text our crew is another option. An inquiry does not book a job or commit you to the work.

Junk Father was one of three places I contacted. They were by far the best priced and easiest to work with. They ask what items were being moved and gave me a quote based on that. Other companies wanted pictures and more details. Alex was great communication and very very fast and moving the things out. I would definitely recommend Alex and his team to anyone who needs furniture or items removed.
