Hoarding Cleanup Business Invoicing App (2026)
For a small hoarding cleanup business, ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) bills the way an open-ended job has to be billed — a day rate or crew-hour rate with disposal loads counted separately, a deposit before day one, and progress invoices at the end of each day or week.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page. Tools were judged on the small operator's real workflow — day-rate and crew-hour billing with disposal loads, deposits, and daily or weekly progress invoicing — not on multi-crew dispatch.

The small operator’s real workflow
Hoarding cleanup is the least scopeable work in the trades. What looks like three days from the doorway is regularly nine, and dump fees alone can exceed the original quote.
Never quote what you can’t see. Bill a day rate or crew-hour rate, charge disposal by the load, and send progress invoices as the job goes instead of betting the whole thing on a first-look guess.

Frequently asked questions
Should I quote a hoarding job as a flat price?
Almost never on first look. You cannot see the back rooms, the floor condition, or how much is salvageable. A day rate or crew-hour rate with disposal billed by the load is honest, and it stops a three-day estimate from becoming nine unpaid days.
What do I get with ShowTheReceipts for $15/month?
Quoting, invoicing, deposits, card payment, and one tax-ready ledger. Progress-billing schedules and automated reminders are Pro-plan features at $39/month.
How do I bill disposal?
By the load, at cost plus your handling. Dump fees on a hoarding job can run into thousands, and folding them into a day rate means a heavy week wipes out the margin on the whole job.
