The cleaning was professionally done. Both of the workers were excellent.

Responsive, flexible, and professional with the several changes I had to make. Service was prompt and well done so I would likely recommend to a friend or Co worker and will continue to use in the future

About the area
Local details, clearly sourced.
Local service details
This often leads customers to inquire about clear-outs that require careful planning during periods of significant rainfall. Many properties here, including the 48,976 housing units, feature older construction, with 54.0% of homes built before 1960 and a median build year of 1957.
What the service covers, step by step — the checklist, the timings and the published starting price — is on the hoarder / heavy-duty cleaning page. This page is about running it locally. For everything else we do in Elizabeth, see cleaning services in Elizabeth.
Service details and local conditions
Among the 46,121 occupied housing units, 34,327 are renter occupied, and 11,794 are owner occupied. These dwellings include various sizes, such as 13,259 units with 4 rooms and 11,654 with 5 rooms. This diversity in housing stock means that heavy-duty cleaning projects often require a tailored approach for each specific property.
Considering the area's climate, with a January low of 23.6°F, and the prevalence of established housing, Elizabeth presents a range of property conditions. Our services address the specific needs of clear-outs in properties, whether they are among the 8,490 units with 3 rooms or the 5,199 units with 6 rooms, always focusing on careful, individualized solutions.

Local facts and sources
48,976 housing units by room count, of which 13,259 4 rooms and 11,654 5 rooms
Room by room, against the actual house. 48,976 housing units here were counted by room total (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25017; US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25035), and most of the properties we are called to are five- to seven-room homes where two or three rooms are affected rather than the whole building. We walk it with you first, agree which rooms are in scope and in what order, and price that — not a headline figure for the address.
Will you throw my things away?+
Not without your say-so. Nothing leaves the property unless you or the person you nominate has agreed it, and we work in sorted piles — keep, unsure, discard — rather than clearing by the bag. If you want to stop for the day, we stop. Where a family member or a case worker is coordinating, tell us who has the final word before we start.
What does it cost, and how long does it take?+
It is quoted after a visit or photographs, never over the phone from a description — the range is too wide to guess honestly. Pricing is by crew hours and the rooms agreed, and heavy-waste removal is a separate licensed cost we itemize rather than bury. Most jobs run over two or more days, with a stopping point agreed at the end of each one.
Is this the same as decluttering, extreme cleaning or depression cleaning?+
Yes — those are all words people use for the same help, and none of them change how we treat you. Sometimes it is years of hoarding; sometimes a house simply got away from someone during illness, grief or a long low stretch, which is what people mean when they search for depression cleaning. We come in, work one room at a time at whatever pace you set, and sort keep, unsure and discard with you. No lectures, no photographs of your home, no judgment.
What can you not take on?+
Biohazard work — human or animal waste in volume, needles, mould remediation, pest infestation and anything structural. Those need specialist licensed contractors, and we will tell you plainly on the walkthrough if that is what the property needs instead of starting a job we cannot finish safely.
Where do I find what is included, step by step?+
On the national hoarder / heavy-duty cleaning page — it carries the checklist, the timings and the published starting price, so it is maintained in one place rather than reworded on every local page.
What happens if something is missed?+
Tell us within 36 hours and we arrange a return visit at no extra cost.
