What Our Customers Say
Very hard workers that cleaned out a whole house that was trashed and filthy. Very polite and considered. Would definitely recommend this company!
Very quick from contact to in home to remove some flooring. Once on site they got straight to work and did an outstanding job! Very reasonable price for the work done. Will continue to use them for all future needs.
Extremely helpful and nice, was hired for land clearing and site preparation they removed pesky honey suckle. Definitely going to hire them in the future.
How we work these
The practical parts matter less than the pacing on this job, but they still have to be right.
Sorting & Set-Aside
Keep, donate, discard: decided by you
Nothing is thrown out that has not been agreed as going.
Access & Egress First
Usually the first thing we do
Doorways, halls and stairs cleared before anything else.
Furniture & Appliances
Often through a narrow route
Large items removed where access allows.
Discreet Scheduling
No signage, no explaining to neighbors
Unmarked where you need it, and timed to suit the household.
Haul-Away & Disposal
One price, carrying included
Everything agreed as going is loaded and taken away by us.
What hoarding cleanouts costs
Published ranges, because almost nobody in this market will give you a number before a site visit. You get a firm figure before anything starts and only pay for work completed.
One or two rooms
$280 to $520
A single room, or the worst rooms dealt with first.
Most of a property
$520 to $850
Several rooms, or a full clear where sorting is limited.
A whole property
$850 to $1,280+
A full house cleared, usually over more than one visit.
- How much there is
- Volume, as on every cleanout, and photos from the doorway settle it.
- How much is being kept
- Sorting is the slow part, and on this job it is the important part.
- Access and route
- A cleared exit route comes first, and a blocked one makes everything after it slower.
- The pace
- One visit or six. Neither costs more per hour; they just schedule differently.
These are Crown’s own published cleanout ranges. Where a property needs specialist remediation rather than clearing, that is a different trade and a different quote; see the section below.
What we clear, and what needs somebody else
Most pages on this subject either overstate what a cleanout crew can handle or use the risk to frighten you. Here is the actual line, and the one place Kentucky law makes it absolute.
S540
The ANSI-approved standard for trauma and biohazard cleanup, a different trade from clearing possessions, and one we do not claim
Kentucky Revised Statutes, KRS 224.1-410, methamphetamine-contaminated property decontamination
We remove possessions and debris. That is the work: carrying, sorting, loading and disposing. It covers the overwhelming majority of these jobs, including ones people are embarrassed to describe on the phone.
Biohazard remediation is a different trade. There is an ANSI-approved standard for it: the IICRC S540 Standard for Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup, covering blood and other potentially infectious material. We do not hold it out as something we do, and Crown’s own published list puts medical and biohazard waste in what we do not remove.
And one situation where Kentucky is rigid. If a property was used as a methamphetamine lab, the statute is unambiguous: “only contractors certified by the cabinet shall be authorized to conduct the decontamination services for inhabitable properties.” Certification runs through the state’s Division of Waste Management and carries insurance and training requirements. Nobody without it should be quoting you for that work, including us.
What we will not do is use that to frighten you. Kentucky treats medical waste generated in households as ordinary municipal waste, disposable with regular household garbage, so the great majority of what worries families about these jobs is not, in fact, a regulated-waste problem. If we find something that is, we stop and tell you. If we do not, we get on with it.
This is a plain-English summary of published standards and Kentucky statute, not legal or clinical advice. If safety rather than clutter is the immediate concern, the US Fire Administration’s guidance on blocked exits and crowded cooking and heating equipment is the practical place to start, and a clinician is the right person to talk to about the condition itself.
How hoarding cleanouts works
Four steps, no obligation, and you only pay for work completed.
A conversation first
Ring or send photos, whichever is easier. Nobody has to describe the whole house to a stranger on the phone to get a number.
The plan and the pace
Which rooms, in what order, over how many visits, and who will be there. That is agreed before anything starts.
Exits first, then rooms
Doorways, halls and stairs cleared first because that is the safety part, then room by room at the agreed pace.
Swept, and no trace of us
Floors swept, everything agreed as going is gone, and no signage on the drive at any point if that is what you want.
Hoarding Cleanouts across Central Kentucky
Based in Lexington, working the counties around it. Send the address rather than the town: access decides more than distance on most of these jobs.
The questions we get asked
Answered properly rather than deflected to a phone call.
Not sure it’s this job?
Send two or three photos. If it is really a different service we will say so and point you at the right page. It costs you nothing either way.
Send photos insteadWill you judge us?
No, and we would rather say it plainly than leave it hanging. Hoarding disorder is a recognized condition: the American Psychiatric Association describes it as persistent difficulty parting with possessions due to a perceived need to save them, affecting roughly 2.6% of people and more commonly those over sixty. It is not a character failing and it is not a cleanliness problem. Our crews turn up, do the work that was agreed, and leave.
Can you come without the neighbors knowing?
Yes. Unmarked vehicles where you want them, timing that suits the household, and no signage on the drive. A good share of the people who ring us have been putting this off for years specifically because of what the street will think, so it is a normal request rather than an unusual one.
Do we have to do the whole house at once?
No, and often it is better not to. We can work a room at a time over several visits at whatever pace suits, and it costs no more per hour to do it that way. Where somebody needs to look at each item before it goes, the job simply takes the time it takes. What we will not do is clear a room faster than the person living in it can cope with.
Is there anything you will not handle?
Yes, and this is worth knowing before you book rather than on the day. Crown’s own published list puts medical and biohazard waste, asbestos and regulated hazardous material, and fuel, solvents and pressurised tanks in what we do not remove. Clearing possessions and remediating biohazard are genuinely different trades: there is a named ANSI-approved standard for the second one. If we find something on that list we stop, tell you what we have found, and point you at the right specialist. The section below covers the one situation where Kentucky law is absolutely rigid about it.
How much does a hoarding cleanout cost?
One or two rooms is $280 to $520, most of a property $520 to $850, and a whole property $850 to $1,280 and up, Crown’s own published cleanout figures. Volume drives it, as it does on any cleanout, but on this job how much is being sorted rather than cleared matters nearly as much.
Which areas do you serve?
Lexington and the surrounding counties: Lexington, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Richmond, Frankfort, Winchester, Versailles and Paris. The ZIP codes are listed above. Because these are booked visits rather than same-day calls, distance changes very little about the price.
Get a price, or just ask a question
Ring, or send photos if that is easier. Nobody has to describe the whole house to a stranger to get a number, and there is no obligation in either direction.
