How much does a hoarding cleanout cost in Bakersfield?

It's quoted flat after a free, private walkthrough, since depth varies far more than square footage. Most homes price as a few truckloads plus careful sorting time, often staged with a dumpster for the heavy days. Phased, one-room-at-a-time plans are welcome.

Do you take a compassionate, non-judgmental approach?

Always. No lectures, no judgment — just patient help. Behind every full home is a person who deserves dignity, and we work at the resident's pace with their priorities first.

Will you work alongside family and mental-health professionals?

Yes — we regularly coordinate with family members, care managers, therapists, and Adult Protective Services to follow a plan that keeps the resident comfortable and the outcome lasting.

Will your trucks and crew be discreet to protect our privacy?

Yes — unmarked trucks and plain clothes are available on request, and our crews never discuss jobs. Privacy is standard practice, not an upgrade.

How long does a full hoarding cleanout take?

Anywhere from a single long day to several days, depending on volume and how the resident wants to pace it. Many jobs run in stages — a safe pathway and the kitchen first, then more as trust builds.

Do you sort for valuables and heirlooms, or just toss everything?

We sort, not scoop. Cash, jewelry, photos, documents, and keepsakes surface in most hoarding homes, and recovering them is part of the job — everything like that goes straight to the resident or family.

What happens if your team finds cash, jewelry, or legal documents?

They come straight to you. Our crews set aside anything that looks valuable or important — money, jewelry, titles, wills, tax papers — and hand it over, every time.

Do you handle extreme (Level 4–5) hoarding with structural blockage?

Yes — heavy-accumulation homes with blocked rooms and pathways are within our scope for hauling and careful sorting. For situations with structural or safety hazards, we coordinate the right trades first.

Is your crew equipped with protective equipment for hazardous sites?

Yes — crews use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, respirators, suits) for dusty, moldy, or soiled environments, and we assess safety before anyone starts.

Do you handle homes with heavy animal waste, biohazards, or filth?

Our crews handle heavy clutter and gross-filth hauling and sorting. For true biohazards — heavy animal waste, sewage, decomposition, or black water — that's licensed remediation work; we'll tell you honestly what needs a certified specialist and can coordinate, then handle the hauling once the site is safe.

Tim T. · March 2023

"Absolutely wonderful service. These guys were quick, friendly, happy, and ready to work. The free appraisal was fast and they immediately started once we agreed. They cleaned up any scrap left from what they took and even offered to grab more if needed. This company is CSUB student owned and operated, the 2 founders are who helped me and it was great. Highly recommend these guys to anyone in need!"

"I do a lot of posts and reviews mostly for food and restaurants. This is my first time doing one for a service such as SWIFT. The guys showed up promptly when they said they would, and kept in contact with me great communication. They were very professional and nice. They cleared out the whole center of my garage for a fair price. Overall happy with my experience and 10 out of 10 would recommend."

"After making several calls and inquiries with no response, I was relieved that these young people were more than happy to help us with a clean up job. They are well organized and easy to deal with, and they did a great job! It also made us feel good that we could help them through this program established by CSUB to assist them with tuition expenses. I highly recommend them!! It's a win, win fo…"

"Christian and Allen were amazing. They came out, took a look at the item being removed (soa) and gave an honest appraisal. Even though a light rain had started, it did not deter them and they were positive and approachable through their process. They left the area in great condition, cleaning everything up and at no time did the weather or task slow them down or begrudge them. I know in the fut…"
