Hoarding Cleanouts in Fort Myers, FL
We help clear heavily cluttered homes in Fort Myers without judgment, starting with the rooms that are ready. If the City’s Code Enforcement Division has sent a notice, the officer named on it is the person to ask for more time; the City says it grants reasonable requests. Text photos from wherever you can stand safely, call, or use the free estimate form.
If there’s a City notice
In the City of Fort Myers, junk, trash or other matter that piles up outside where it can be seen is treated as a nuisance; things kept inside a fully enclosed building are not. Code Enforcement (239-321-7940) works from a notice that gives a time to correct. If that time is too short for the amount of work, call the officer named on the notice before it runs out; the City’s own guide says it is willing to grant reasonable requests. Tell us the date on the notice so we can plan around it. If you need pictures or proof of the completed work, we can provide them. Call or text with the date.
Send photos for a free estimate. Show each room or area that’s going, what stays, and the path to the door.
Apartments and rentals
About half of Fort Myers homes are rented and a third are in buildings of 10 or more units. When the home is an apartment, the landlord or manager usually needs to approve the work and set the access rules. Tell us who that is and which elevator or entrance we can use. The landlord or property manager establishes what we’re authorized to remove before we start. Call or text to set it up.
At the person’s pace
A cleanout goes better when the person who lives there has a say. We can start with the rooms they’re ready to let go of, leave the rest, and come back as a separate visit. If the person is a parent or a tenant, tell us who approves the work and what has to stay. If it takes several visits to keep making progress, that’s how we do it. Call or text to talk it through.

How we approach a hoarding cleanout
- No embarrassment, no lectures and no jokes. What happens in the home stays private, and photos are only for the estimate or to document the work.
- We work at the person’s pace, over several visits if that’s what keeps progress going.
- First a safe path in and out, then simple zones everyone understands: trash, definite keeps, and not sure yet. Then we keep working the volume down.
- Photos often tell us enough. A severely packed home, where floors, stairs or exits can’t be seen, may need a look in person before a firm scope.
- Tell us about pests, animals, mold, needles or damaged floors. We remove the contents and clean up after ourselves; sanitizing, mold remediation and biohazard work are done by qualified specialists, and we coordinate the order of work with them.
- If there’s a code notice, you (or your family) stay in charge of the case with the city or county. We do the clearing, can work in the order the notice requires, and can provide photos of the completed work.
- For a rental, the landlord or property manager establishes what we’re authorized to remove before we start.
