A word first

“If you’re here, you’re probably going through a difficult situation — for yourself or someone you care about. We understand that it isn’t easy to talk about, let alone ask for help.”

Our team steps in with respect, warmth and without any judgment whatsoever. Our role isn’t to assess how things got here — it’s to help restore a safe, livable space. For you, for your loved one, or to get a property ready to rent again. You don’t need to explain everything to call us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions
about hoarding & extreme cleaning

Does the person living there need to be present during the cleanup?

Not necessarily. We can intervene at the request of a family member or social worker who has access to the property. If the person is present, we work at their pace and fully respect what they want to keep.

Can you intervene quickly in an emergency?

Yes — we prioritize urgent situations (city compliance orders, rapid rental turnover, imminent health risks). Contact us and let us know it’s urgent in your request.

Are your teams trained for this type of work?

Yes — full personal protective equipment (PPE) matched to the contamination level, approved disinfectant products, strict safety protocols. Our team is trained to work in challenging environments with professionalism and dignity.

How much does hoarding cleanup cost in Montreal?

Every situation is unique — cost depends on the size of the property, level of clutter and degree of contamination. We offer a free on-site assessment with a precise quote before any work begins, and no obligation.

Is the intervention confidential?

Absolute discretion guaranteed — unmarked vehicles on request, neutral attire, no communication with neighbours. We fully understand the sensitivity of these situations and honour it.
