Hoarding Cleanup near you in Shepherdstown, WV.

Compassionate clearing. Restored peace.

Shepherdstown is the oldest town in West Virginia (founded 1762) and one of the wealthiest small towns in our service area on a per-capita basis. The full-time population is small — around 1,700 in the town itself — but the population profile is unusual: ~3,000 Shepherd University students during the academic year, a large weekend tourist influx (the historic district + Bavarian Inn + Antietam Battlefield draw heavy visitor traffic), and a strong DC-commuter and federal-worker presence (the National Conservation Training Center is just outside town). That combination produces an outsized restoration market for a town this size, with a heavy bias toward higher-value insurance claims and short-term-rental rapid response. A material slice of the housing stock is short-term rental properties — Airbnbs, VRBO listings, B&Bs — that need post-incident cleaning, biohazard, and smoke/odor remediation on tight turnaround windows so the property can be back online for the next booking. Our STR-rapid-response capability is particularly relevant here. We respond into Shepherdstown from Hagerstown in about 35 minutes via WV-9 east. The route is straightforward and our techs know it well.
