PURGE YOUR GARAGE/HOME -- CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!
Michelle was great to work with to book & organize the process ahead of time. Michael & Tony showed up to do the manual labor and are phenomenal! They both are very happy family men & are a delight to spend 2 days hand in hand sorting through and meticulously organizing our decades of storage. We were much in need of tossing out many corroded (we live by the beach) items and old stuff that had no value and simply needed to go! We donated about 500 books to the Santa Monica Public Library which they dropped off for us! They also went to Home Depot to buy more of the yellow, salt air proof bins to keep our saved items in storage. Dropped a trunk off for us at Fedex & delivered a big framed poster to a friend around the corner. Nice to have their big truck to get it all done! WOW! Feels better than any New Year's Resolution achieved! A week later, we are still talking about how accomplished we feel. We simply could NOT have done the great garage purge without them! CHANGE YOUR LIFE, HIRE THEM!! :) 
Clutter & Hoarding Pros are amazing. My family left me a big house filled to the brim by hoarders. I didn't know how to face it. CHP employees were friendly, efficient, hard-working and fast. They got everything cleaned out, thrown away or donated for a fair price. They were incredibly honest returning money, jewelry and other valuables they found while cleaning. They were very considerate working with my sister to find things she wanted to keep. They always had a positive and considerate attitude. Yes - I would definitely use them again. And Yes - I will recommend them to all my friends. We could not have gotten the house cleaned out without them. Great quality work. Very prompt responses.
As I sit at the airport waiting for my flight back home I decided to let others know of my experience with Clutter and Hoarding Pros. I am an older senior citizen and someone who has experienced multiple deaths in my family but nothing like what I have gone through recently. My 84 yr old brother passed away and I was the designated trustee of all things to manage his property . I was advised by Adult protection services of his severe hoarded condition of his home . Overwhelm is an understatement to describe how I felt to fix this mess from cross country .
I began online research calling multiple companies who agreed to meet me at the property for estimates . I met with Michael their project manager and co-owner who was the friendliest and most professional of the other companies . Although definitely not the cheapest of the bids , I decided to hire them not only based on reputation but how they explained how they work to find things of value and important keepsakes. Michelle the owner, did a very thorough follow up and asked several important questions prior to writing up the contract . From first contact with Michelle to meeting Michael to meeting the crew operate a very " tight. ship " -- working with this company has been 5 stars plus . Also Michelle kindly provided me with several deep cleaning referrals and a pest control company (Premium Termite & Pest Control ) who all did a great job .
Full disclosure: Clutter & Hoarding Pros won't be the low bidder but they are worth the extra cost.
Michael runs a tight ship and maintains a positive work environment on the job site which is absolutely critical to handling unforeseen contingencies that inevitably pop up during a challenging clean-up like my parent's house (6 decades of hoarding!)--especially in the remote, hilly area where the house was located accessible by narrow, winding roads. I was overseeing C&HP's 4-day contract, coming from out of town to do so with no realistic way of extending my visit and Michael's crew got the job done in 3 1/2 days! And if you saw my parent's house you would know C&HP didn't pad their preliminary timetable to look good at the end. As promised, C&HP's team kept an eye out for cash, jewelry and photographs that we had missed on our earlier sweeps through the house without losing any time on their schedule. Heartily recommend them for challenging house clutter projects, C&HP was a pleasure to work with. 
It has taken me a year to post this only because I couldn't articulate how grateful I was for the wonderful team that came to help me. This strangers were with me on a day that became a defining moment for my life. They became friends and family in just one day. They not only helped with the actual decluttering but were almost like counselors being caring, understanding, and patient with me. So many memories to shift through.
In the end, I was grateful and at peace. Forever grateful and will for sure use them again! 
All the junk that I accumulated made me miserable for a long time and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders now that it's all gone! Michelle, Michael, and the guys were so kind and understanding, made me feel comfortable instead of feeling ashamed. Thank you so much!
I would recommend 100% FIVE STARS 
Great experience! Communication throughout the whole process was very good, and the clean out was done quickly and completely! I would highly recommend!
No one expects to have an accident disrupt their life and home. This was the case for me. Then Covid hit. I was unable to physically take care of my place on my own. After a while, it had gotten out of hand. I am so thankful for Michelle and Michael's help! The compassion, respect, and care they and their crew showed me and my home is something I will never forget. They came in and took care of everything I had been unable to do. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs help in getting their home and life back on track!
Michael and his crew, Oscar and Gabriel, did what I thought was impossible. They cleaned out an entire trash hoarded apartment in one day. Including appliances and furniture and mounds of trash. All the while being mindful of items we were looking for amongst the clutter and trash. At our initial walk through Michael was kind and empathetic to our situation and was a professional throughout our interaction. I highly recommend Clutter and Hoarding Pros.
I cannot say enough about the service from Clutter and Hoarding Pros. It was really incredible what they did! First of all, obviously I was dreading this. This was 30 years of my parents lives and one of them was a (shall we say pack rat), and there is a lot of shame and stress that comes with removal of junk like this.
It's very scary. I had my mother with me, and I was imagining all kinds of things. When Michael showed up, he was smiling and so gentle and sweet assuring me he's seen it all and not to worry. I was expecting to only get one room cleaned out, Michael and his team member cleaned out the entire garage in two hours, and it was so full before that you couldn't even walk in there. They then did the office and a bunch of closets and drawers and cabinets in the house. It was amazing! The most important thing is that Michael knows what to LOOK FOR. He knows what things are generally for keeping, like photos, documents, sentimental things. He pulls those out for you. He got rid of toxic chemicals and things my dad had that were fire hazards. I could not believe I got a car in the garage that night! The whole time they never seemed to get tired, their attitude was positive and nice about everything. I cannot recommend them enough. They changed my life! It's worth the money, trust me. Hopefully you only have to do it once. And you and your family are worth it. Thank you, Michelle, Michael and the whole team!
Clutter & Hoarding Pros did a great job, from start to finish. We highly recommend them!
After a relative passed away, we found her home a complete disaster, much to our surprise. It was overwhelming to think we needed to clean it out. Luckily there is Yelp, and even more lucky for us, there is Clutter & Hoarding Pros. I was still in shock when I called Michelle, the owner, but she reassured me that they could handle anything. Her many years in the business, her thorough website, and many positive referrals backed her up. She even offered to help with referrals for other services, after the clean-up, which alleviated even more of my stress. When I met Michael, who headed up a crew of two, I was even more convinced we had made the right choice. He was very personable, and encouraged questions, as he explained the process of the job ahead. On the designated day, they arrived early and got to work on the outside patios. I handed over the key, and by the end of the day it was completed! They even set aside some documents they felt might be important, as well as texting me during the day with a couple other discoveries. Clutter & Hoarding Pros was detailed in their communication with me, every step of the way. They were very thorough, they completely cleared the house of all filthy clutter and debris. And! They were a pleasure to work with, with is very important to me. Their price seemed fair, especially after the great job they did. It was such an emotional situation for me, going in, and Clutter & Hoarding Pros took care of it all so efficiently, and with a caring attitude that was very much appreciated. We will be keeping in touch with them for referrals on other services required, now that the first step has been made. Thank you, Michelle, Michael, and crew!!!!! We couldn't have done it without you! Lore 
As a professional fiduciary I have unique situations that I have to deal with. Recently, I had to deal with a home where the deceased was a hoarder and where the home had some biohazard components. I called Clutter and Hoarding Pros. They were amazingly responsive and professional throughout the entire process and were reasonably priced. On the days of the actual clean up, Michael and his team were wonderful and put aside all the cash, jewelry and important papers they found as they went through the home, and by the time I arrived, my job could not have been easier. I cannot recommend this company enough and will definitely be utilizing their services in the future.
Michelle and her team are definitely top notch! I was in a situation where I needed to clean out a family member's house pretty quickly due to flooding. It was also a hoarding situation, so needless to say, it was a mess! Michael and his crew were wonderful - cleaning everything out and making sure nothing was left behind. A Herculean effort. I highly recommend them. They are a professional and personable team. My thanks to the whole team!
Michael and his crew are nothing short of miracle workers. I had a roommate that was evicted and she went hard core hoarder and recluse in her last year in the room. It was so bad it was 4ft deep packed solid through the whole room with both human and cat waste in the mix. She slept in a hammock suspended from the ceiling because she could no longer get to her bed. They had to remove the door to even get in the room.
Michael showed up happy to be there and stayed laughing and smiling the whole day, and his crew was pleasant, courteous and respectful (just really nice guys). His spirit greatly improved mine at having to deal with this in my home. He and his crew worked constantly on the nightmare of a room and in 7 hours it went from a room filled with packed garbage to an empty room. They are simply amazing, even with one of the absolute worst cases imaginable. 
After my mother passed away, the amount of effort needed to clear out her condo seemed overwhelming due to all of the clutter. A friend suggested bringing in professionals, but had no recommendations. A quick Google search brought up several options and I decided to contact Clutter & Hoarding Pros first because of their stellar reviews.
Michelle immediately put my mind at ease. She explained the services they could offer and answered all my questions in a professional and empathetic manner. I contacted another outfit for comparison purposes and within five minutes I knew they were not right. They did not understand what I was looking for and did not appear to have appropriate resources to manage the project. As requested by Michelle, I took 50+ photos of the condo and forwarded to her via text so she could see what she was dealing with. She contacted me the next day and offered what I considered to be a more than fair price. I especially liked that it was a set price for everything with no surprise add ons. We settled on a date, signed a contract, I paid half up front as a deposit, and a huge weight was immediately lifted off my shoulders! The clean out itself was quick and efficient. Michael and his crew sorted through everything, identified what needed to be shredded, what to donate to charity, and what to send to the dump. The only thing they couldn't do was take the paperwork to be shredded; however, they did help my husband load up the boxes in his car. When they were done, they swept the floors and made everything look as presentable as possible. They accomplished in one day what would have taken me weeks if not months to complete. And, I would have still needed to hire someone to remove the furniture and other bulky items. Michelle and Michael not only took this huge burden off of my shoulders, they allowed us to prepare the condo for sale months earlier than initially anticipated, thus saving out of pocket costs on mortgage, home owners dues, and utilities. I wholeheartedly recommend Clutter & Hoarding Pros to anyone looking for help with an estate clean out! 
The team did an amazing job! They were on time, and worked quickly. Michael is so friendly and the team as a whole was amazing to work with. I really recommend using Clutter and Hoarding Pros!
During one of the most difficult times in my family's life, the Clutter and Hoarding Pros came to the rescue. Professional, kind, and honest are some of the many things that come to mind! They went out of their way to save any memorabilia and things of value. The home I grew up in drowned in clutter . . . and now, because of Clutter and Hoarding Pros, I can see my childhood home come back to life.
Thank you, Team! 
I only had to make one call to find an awesome team.
These folks are the Best! I had to help an Aunt dislodge 3 Storage Units of stuff, over two separate location. And every box, every bag had to be opened for inspection. I am so grateful that I had Michelle and the hero of the day Michael, to help get myself and my family through this with as little pain as possible. There was just no way I could have done half of this in such a short time by myself. The entire team were helpful, thorough, knowledgeable and understanding. I'd definitely recommend these folks to anyone who needs help with clutter. 
The choice to go with Michelle's team was the right decision to make. Michael showed up with a big smile and no judgment. Tracy was an absolute dream at organizing and helping one make difficult decisions.
Hire this company, and don't look back. 
It is a shame that we can only give 5 stars because this company definitely deserves much more than that. We needed to empty out my parents' former residence to be able to sell the property. However, after a year and a half of anxiety and frustration because we just couldn't find the time to do it ourselves, we found Clutter and Hoarding Pros. They took care of it in less than two days. They went through the interior and exterior of the house with a fine toothed comb. They found some items that turned out to be memorabilia and put them aside for us. They emptied furniture and free standing appliances. They hauled away all the trash so we didn't even need to rent a dumpster. They take anything that can be donated to charities or other needy organizations for you.
From beginning to end, Michelle, Michael and their crew members were compassionate, understanding and such hard workers. We can't say enough about them and we can't thank them enough for the peace of mind.
Michelle, Michael and their team were wonderful! They were responsive, efficient, thorough and most of all, respectful in a challenging situation. I highly recommend them!
I would like to take the time to say thank you for a job well done. Michelle Quintana takes the time to speak with you and make you at ease. She speaks very highly of her staff, especially Michael. She wanted to send him to assist with my job but he was unavailable. Rasha and Tony were assigned to assist me and I couldn't have asked for better people! They were thorough, professional, considerate, kind and organized. They make a very challenging job a lot easier to handle. They also made what could have been a very emotional day, more productive and less emotional and I can't thank them enough! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Rasha and Tony, with your help I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and very grateful for the great job that you both did.
The company is Aaawweessome!!! Shall I say when you have clutter that is over barring and stressing your life out. Please I mean please call this company!! Very professional, very stressless crew Michael and Rasha was phenomenal!! From moment they showed up they made me feel so comfortable. While they did all the work in a stressful embarrassing moment in my life so least I thought. Until they showed up it was a match made in heaven. I have 3 bed 2 bath the way they work so hard and discreet. Had me so uplifted that I made the right choice. Also a fast and timely sensitive moment. Also they carried my feeling along the with respect for not just throwing things away with out asking me what would I like to with it. Again they was fast and efficient. We laugh and they keep it professional the whole time. I can't express how much of blessing they was to me to finally get rid of stuff I thought I had under control, but I can tell you this much any body that hire them will not be disappointed your coins will be well invested to a better cleanly life style. I sit in my clean house today can't belief I went this long with out calling. What a piece of mind! This a awesome experience I would definitely refer and reuse again if ever needed.Thank you Michael and Rasha!!!! For getting me together!! I'm so happy and satisfied with your services!!!! You guys really rock!!
Right on time, so efficient, careful and respectful of the situation when cleaning out my aunt's apartment. Communication throughout was stellar, and the price was right for the job. Highly, highly recommend this very professional service. 
Michael and Tony were just the BEST! Michelle made sure to explain everything beforehand so that I knew what to expect. They went above and beyond, and are just awesome human beings. I really appreciate their services. This was something that I was kind of dreading but they made it so simple and easy, and their personalities definitely stood out in the best way possible! I cannot recommend them enough, Michael and Tony were thorough, professional, friendly, and did an amazing job throughout. Absolutely superb service from Clutter and Hoarding Pros! 
My parents lived in my childhood home for 42 years, until their deaths last summer. They were not much for throwing things away, and the house was very cluttered. Neither my brother nor I live locally, so every time we needed to go to the house to sort through and retrieve important items it was either a long drive (me) or a multi-day trip with a flight (my brother). We knew we needed help to get the house completely emptied, so I searched for someone that could help. Happily, this was the first company that I found and Michelle was so patient and understanding as we worked through all of the logistics so that my brother could be there for the clean out. Michael and Tony arrived exactly as promised, worked efficiently and with smiles on their faces, making what could have been a really difficult day much easier. From my bother, Dan, and me, we are so grateful for their help and would recommend their services to anyone who needs help with a very cluttered house. 
just want to say this is one of the best companies I have ever hired in my entire life. They were respectful, gracious, quick and easy to work with. They helped with a very bad situation and were completely gracious throughout the entire process. I would recommend them 100%. They were timely and affordable. Wonderful people and a wonderful company. 
THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE at the most needed time in my life. We hired Clutter and Hoarding Pros to clean out my parents home after they both passed away suddenly. 
We recently used Clutter&Hoarding Pros to clear out the home of a family member. From the very beginning, we were so impressed by the professionalism and efficiency Michelle, Michael and their team brought to the process. These sorts of situations can take an emotional toll of the parties involved but we were treated with respect and empathy which is invaluable. The team was able to finish the job in half the time anticipated while still being diligent in retrieving keepsakes and valuables. Thank you Michelle, Michael and team for doing an incredible job. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for fast, detailed, professional service! 
I was overwhelmed trying to clear the clutter I had from my apartment. Admitting I had this issue was very difficult. I knew I needed help. Michelle was very calming and helpful. She made me feel comfortable and eased my embarrassment. Her team did exactly the same when they came to help me clear my clutter. I am so thankful for their help and highly recommend them. 
We hired Clutter and Hoarding Pros to clean out our aunt's house which contained in some areas, 30 plus years of clutter and hoarders mess, and have not regretted our decision. 
I legitimately could not have done this without Michelle, Michael and their amazing team. I live in the Boston area, and my Mom lived in the Los Angeles area. When I found out she had passed, I knew that aside from the grief, I had work ahead of me, knowing that my Mom really "held on" to things for most of her 70 years of life. 
This team is incredible. I called them after a serious bout of depression that left my room in shambles. They were compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental and helped me get my mess cleared out before my landlord started showing our property to potential new renters. 
I can't begin to tell you how amazing this company is. It's a little pricey, and Michelle (owner) tells you this. She's straight up honest but it's worth it. We had a two day job and Mike and Tessa came in. They slowly and swiftly got through everything.
Worth. Every. Penny.

I wss nervous, ashamed. My home was a disaster. Michael put me at ease immediately. All I had to do was tell him what I wanted removed, and he and Ramon expertly and quickly worked their magic on my home. No judgement; just kind, expert help
They were so fast!! Ramon assembled a project without me asking. It freed up more real estate inside, and i have an assembled project that was a problem for a year! Excellent value, excellent customer service. Worth every penny. 
Michael and his crew did a clean out of my mother's home after she died. They cleared out the house, garage, backyard, and helped us finish pumping the remaining pool water. They were early every day and didn't seem to stop for breaks. They were so professional and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them.
I live in Oregon, and my aunt, who passed away recently, lives in Southern California. She unfortunately, we discovered, had been a hoarder. I needed a professional team, due to the distance of the situation. I called clutter and hoarding pros for help. Michelle took my call and she was very helpful and informative. She helped me decide what I needed in the size and scope of the cleanup. She was very professional and truly walked me through the whole procedure.
My aunts hoarding had gone on for quite some time and it was a very big problem. Her house was a disaster with stuff piled everywhere. There were cockroaches and rotten food in the kitchen. She had had several cats who had used the house as a litter box. Michael was the one who took on the actual cleanup, with his crew. They were extremely easy to work with especially long-distance, and very reliable and respectful of my Aunts things. I was so impressed with the way they handled the situation from top to bottom. I never could've managed cleaning up the house by myself, because of the distance , without them. I would highly recommend their services. 
Michael and Michelle made the process of cleaning out my father's apartment effortless. I am beyond grateful. I gave Michael a list of valuables that I wanted him to find in a sea of hoarding mess. There were roaches everywhere and it was as bad as you can imagine. He found everything on my list plus other things that he identified as being of value. They worked fast and were very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend their service.
Michael, Tony and Team were lifesavers! After attempting to clear out our parents' house ourselves, we gave up and decided to call in the experts. Best decision we made. The house was filled with a lifetime of stuff and our parents felt uneasy getting rid of a lot of it. Michael kept in contact every day and the Team made sure to set aside anything valuable, like they promised. They even found things we thought were lost! To top it off, they finished sooner than expected. I recommend them over and over again!
Here are some great before & after photos Michael shared with me:
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company, from the first phone call to the final handshake, it was such a pleasure. They make you feel so at ease. Professional and hard-working, they are fast and are able to able to spot the items worth saving amongst the mess. Michael is an angel. So warm and friendly with a true passion for what he does. I'm so thankful I came across them in my google search. You will be in great hands.
Clutter and Hoarding Pros are the best in my opinion. Michelle was very nice and informative and explained to me step by step what to expect when the crew came to my brother's apartment. He recently passed away and had an excessive amount of trash and clutter that I and my father tried to handle ourselves while feeling overwhelmed! When I met Michael today he greeted me with a smile and he and his crew got right to work. At the end they even loaded the boxes of things I wanted to keep in my trunk! If I ever find myself in the same situation I will call them again!
I contacted Michelle initially to discuss the death of my aunt who was an extreme hoarder. She provided lots of details and specifics about their process so I could advise my family about the next steps in the clearing of a level five home. We hired Clutter & Hoarding Pros to manage this overwhelming project, and were absolutely thrilled with Michael, the project manager, Alvaro, Tony, and two other crewmembers. They were all very professional to work with, and made the process easy, if that's even possible to say in light of the situation. We would highly recommend them no matter how severe your situation.
From the first phone call, Michael was extremely responsive. On our end it took a few calls and texts to pin down our availability and to return the signed agreement. He was so friendly, helpful and customer oriented. He and William were a little early and extremely professional. They were very organized, methodical, and respectful of our personal belongings. I give them 5 stars. It's costly to have and afford this kind of service, but it's more than worth it. Bravo Michael and William!
Michael and his crew did an amazing job! They were early, friendly and communicative. They went above and beyond to not only clean up everything but also organize it. I can't thank them enough for their professionalism and care with the job they did.
I simply can not say enough good things about Clutter and Hoarding Pros! Michelle the owner promptly called me back after my inquiry for services. She was kind and helpful and got me set up for an appointment to clean up my situation due to mental health challenges from family members passing etc.
Michael the project manager was simply AMAZING!! He was so very kind, positive, and compassionate and upbeat. He and Ramon and Tony did an amazing job and worked so hard and fast. I am utterly speechless and forever grateful to have my house back in 1 day! I can't believe they got it all done. They were also very discreet doing the cleanup as well. Michael, you and your team are angels! You have made my year and given me hope again! I highly recommend their services 10/10! Thank you again!
There are not enough words in the English language to describe how wonderful I think the Clutter and Hoarding Pros are!!! They are definitely miracle workers....I was embarrassed to show them the apartment I needed cleaned...it was a 'disaster area'... I'm not kidding!...it was awful!
But both Michelle and Michael assured me that they had seen worse and could handle it....so I trusted them. I will be eternally grateful to them and the team...oh my goodness, they changed that chaotic, cluttered 'hoarder's dream' apartment into a light and airy, darling apartment, that anyone would be proud to rent. They are amazing.!!! When Michael sent me the 'after' photos of the apartment, I didn't even recognize it at first..it was so cleaned up and cleared out that it even looked as if it had been repainted. I nearly cried tears of joy and disbelief...The nightmare apartment is now a renter's dream. What an incredible display of tireless effort, devotion to the job at hand, work ethics, and dependability....WOW! They are truly miracle workers. Seriously, it would have taken me days, maybe months to do what they did in one day! I admit that at first I thought they were a bit expensive, but after seeing their work, they are worth every penny!!!! All I can say now is Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! God bless everyone on the Team!!! 
This company and staff are AMAZING. From my initial phone conversation with Michelle, and then with the project manager Michael. I had been overwhelmed with grief & anxiety which resulted in me and my home going downhill. I was so nervous, but all was handled with respect and non-judgmental grace. Kind voices. Smiling faces. And empathy when needed. They came to bust their behinds, and that they did!
Michael has a very positive demeanor, and made me feel at ease. Heather was amazing, kind but hard worker! Ramon was quiet but mighty with his physical hauling of things. This is why their service is top notch above just a junk hauler. They have the tools at hand to execute. Very synchronized on everything they did. They took extra steps to close the door after coming/going with each and every haul because I was nervous about privacy. In what was quoted to me as an eight hour job, was finished much sooner. It is on pricey side, but I feel you get what you pay for. I feel hopeful again thanks to their help! 
My mom and her husband passed away over 2-years ago and I was dragging my feet on clearing out their house. When I finally came to grips with clearing it out, the grief and anxiety of losing my mom came flooding back because it felt like I was losing her again. But I braced myself, forged ahead and reached out to Clutter and Hoarding Pros.
Michael, Ramon and Robert were AWESOME!!! They were kind, considerate, friendly, fast and thorough. Because the house was not a hoarding situation (just filled with +35-yrs of life and knickknacks), they cleared out the house in half the time that was estimated. Again, Michael, Ramon, and Robert were AWESOME!!! Thank you Clutter and Hoarding Pros!!! 
During the pandemic I developed chronic back pain, then caught Covid with long term symptoms. I moved so much stuff from my offices, and my house that had a fire, and I began working from home. My condo was so cluttered, and I was not able to move and organize the home on my own.
I searched for a cleaning service with no luck, until I contacted Michelle at Hoarding and Clutter Pros. She sent Rasha and Alvaro on a Saturday. They were so cooperative and gently went through my belongings to help me throw stuff away and organized each room. They went above and beyond to clean areas I couldn't reach. They were terrific and will use them again in the future if necessary. I'm very grateful for their help! 
When you get acceptance and or an opening to help a loved one with this condition and problem, I highly recommend Clutter and Hoarding Pros. I got an opening to help a loved one and I really had no idea how bad it was and the amount of work it would take to tackle it correctly. I figured I could do it with the help of a couple friends. For 2 straight days we hauled out two full driveways of items, and looking back, doing so with no rhyme or reason.
After those two days I didn't make a dent. Exhausted, I called Clutter and Hoarding Pros, spoke to Michelle and immediately felt at ease. She explained the process the company uses and also did so with great empathy and care. When Michael and the crew started, I was impressed by their professionalism, process and care. We discussed certain parameters of keep and go and I created a list of specific valuables and other things buried to keep an eye out for, along with important documents, etc. Numerous items of the above were in fact found, and even beyond my list, Michael and the team brought items out for my review if there was any question. Their work was completed in 2.5 days and I will attest they worked very hard, efficiently and with an extreme amount of compassion and care. The one word I will use to describe this experience with C&H Pros is "relief." There is still work to do, deep cleaning, plumbing, electrical, etc, clinical support with my loved one, but everything that was preventing those areas from being tackled and addressed; the hardest part is now completed. Thank you Clutter and Hoarding Pros, sincerely, thank you. I will provide pictures with permission from my family member. I was not provided anything to write this review. 
I hired Clutter and Hoarding Pros back in January 2022 to help clean out the hoarded house and garage of a loved one in the Los Angeles area. Cleaning (especially someone else's mess) is not something that many people do with a smile, but these guys did! Cleaning out a hoarded house of a loved one can also be an emotional experience for the family, and the crew was sensitive to that as well. They are experienced. They were great at finding the standard sentimental/important things (pictures, jewelry, etc.) They'll look for anything else that you put on a list.
They were very efficient, and they finished the job in less time than they quoted. They even helped organizing after they were done. This is more than just junk removal! Word of advice: Because they work so fast, you also need to be very organized. Make sure that you have a detailed list of what you want them to look for (especially that sentimental but not-so-valuable stuff; really take time to think about everything). You won't have time to make decisions about everything while they are working--at least not if you do a standard clean-out. (They are willing to work with people one-on-one to declutter, but I think that they charge hourly for that, and it can get really expensive.) I would definitely hire them again, but I hope I don't have to. 
My family and I are so grateful and BLESSED to have worked with such a wonderful team. From the very beginning to the very end, we were treated with compassion throughout the entire process. My elderly father has been living in a hoarding situation for years and with that comes shame and embarrassment. Asking a crew of strangers for help was not an easy task, but Michelle treated us with kindness and respect, helping us feel comfortable and taken cared of.
Michael, Alvaro, and Ramon are rock stars! They were not phased by the amount of "junk" we needed removed, nor did they "judge." They worked fast and efficiently, but were also careful and respectful with all our belongings. They brought nothing but great energy and positive vibes. They were also great around the 2 cats that live at the home. They answered our questions and accommodated our requests (re: what items to throw, where to place things). They made the entire process go smoothly and they communicated well (both in person and via text/call). This team was able to lift a HUGE weight off our shoulders. They gave us tears of joy. We are truly grateful. 
Where can I start? These folks are BEYOND amazing. Michelle, Michael, their team really came through for us. My parents battled deep depression and lived in a 2000 square foot house for 25 years. By the time they passed away, their health had deteriorated and the home was full of stuff. To make matters worse, going through the house was emotionally exhausting for me and my sister. An avid DIY-er, we attempted to wrangle this tornado ourselves but it eventually overwhelmed us. We really needed some professionals to help us out.
Enter the team at Clutter and Hoarding Pros. From beginning to end, the customer service was fantastic. We really felt like we were in good hands. They got it done in record time. They took everything usable to a donation site, everything else to the dump, and some to a small storage unit we purchased. They were angels. Incredibly kind and understanding. They collected and saved anything that looked important and set them aside so I could go through them. They went above and beyond to get it done. It did cost a little extra but they also removed and disposed of the carpeting throughout the house. What incredible service!! If you read this Michelle, we thank you and your team SO MUCH from the bottom of our hearts. A huge load has been taken off our shoulders. It's almost surreal, like a dream come true. We can breathe again! We appreciate your prompt and focused attention on my parent's home and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Thank you! 
My mother in law was finally ready to get some help with her home. When I realized a dumpster rental and my willpower weren't going to cut it I came to Clutter&Hoarding Pros. I was hesitant to go this route as none of the places I got quotes from were cheap. While this was not an inexpensive service it proved itself invaluable. From start to finish everything went great. Michelle took the time to answer all of my questions and let me know what to expect. The crew (Michael and Ramon) are absolute pros and know what they are doing. They followed all of our instructions and preferences without complaint and kept the whole process positive and moving forward. They made what could have been a stressful process for her one in which she felt comfortable and in control while still getting her rooms done. The transformation was worth every penny. I highly recommend Clutter and Hoarding Pros.
After seven years of living in the same place, I found myself offered an unexpected deal on a new home...that is less than 1/3 the square footage of where I currently live. Couple that with 2 years of COVID hoarding and a personality that, in general, is more creative than organized and hates housekeeping, and I was feeling pretty overwhelmed about the move. Enter the Clutter and Hoarding Pros. I picked them off of Yelp based on their great reviews, and let me tell you: They. Are. Worth. It. Michelle took care of the administrative side, and Michael and Albero were amazing. They are kind, respectful, and super-hard workers who made a significant dent in cleaning out and organizing my clutter. At the end of the day, I feel like what remains is manageable and that I will actually be in decent shape when the moving company shows up in three days. (Thank you so much, you guys!) Call them. You will be happy you did so.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michelle, Michael and their team. I live on the East Coast and when my father, who lived on the West Coast, passed away suddenly I was pretty shocked to find the condition in which his apartment was left. I found Clutter and Hoarding Pros through some internet searching and read the positive reviews on Yelp—they were all right! Michelle was so compassionate and worked with me to schedule a clean-up on very specific dates when I would be back in town. Michael and his crew were so lovely to work with, extremely professional and most importantly right now, COVID safe. 
We didn't know we had a problem with one of our tenants until the ambulance arrived. We then discovered the person had been unable to care for themselves for weeks. The apartment was a mess. We called around and the most responsible, most understanding and professional person I spoke with was Michelle. She was incredibly helpful. The Project Manager Michael was professional and caring. He was very sensitive to our tenant's belongings. He removed the debris but also organized our tenant's property. Amazingly thoughtful and thorough job. And he was pleasant and friendly and put me at ease! I hope no one ever needs this kind of service. But if you do, just call Clutter and Hoarding Pros and they will take care of it. 
I recently used this company to deal with a family hoarding house cleanup. There could not be a better person than Michelle equipped to deal with a sensitive situation like this. She has a deep understanding and academic background in the affliction that leads to hoarding. The field crew was professional, polite, sensitive, and careful when sorting through items. Michael the onsite project manager was likeable, great at managing the project, and very well equipped when dealing with family members having emotional difficulty with the process. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know. 
I am so impressed with and grateful for the work of Michelle, Michael, and Tony. 
Thank Goodness for Clutter and Hoarding Pros! Their service is indispensable. We hired Clutter and Hoarding Pros to clean out my mom's house with 40 years of clutter to get some much needed repairs. Michelle was amazing. She walked me through exactly how the process would work and put us at ease. She was prompt to respond any time I had a question. 
Hire them...just do it... I don't usually leave reviews on yelp, but I couldn't NOT leave one for Michelle and her crew at Clutter and Hoarding Pros. 
I took responsibility for clearing out my parents’ home in Pasadena, CA, to get it ready to put on the market. My mom and dad lived in the home for nearly 60 years, and both of them are masterful hoarders. I'm not sure there is a way to convey how densely packed the home, yard, and garage were with just about everything you could imagine. A wedding gown, books, magazines, records, take-out containers, old food, old mail, pots and pans and plates and glassware, furniture that had been forgotten, my old school papers, two pianos (yes!), two violins, a mandolin, a clarinet . . . I could go on and on.
The team at Clutter and Hoarding Pros are amazing! The team is fast and efficient but they really take special care with your items and take the time to go through everything to make sure that family treasures were salvaged. I can't believe that they got through all of the trash that was left in my mother's home after 20 years of neglect.
