Is this hoarding cleanup range a contractor quote?

No. It is budgeting guidance. A contractor must review measurements, site conditions, selections, permits, and the final scope before confirming a price.

How can I improve my hoarding cleanup budget?

Write down dimensions, preferred materials, known damage, access limits, timing, and any permit or code questions before requesting contractor pricing.
