What we do
Downsizing
The thought of moving to a more manageable space can be exciting and ease many worries over property maintenance, mobility and safety. However, the process of downsizing can be overwhelming; that’s where unFinished Details comes in.
If you physically cannot manage what is required, are worried about asking family or friends for assistance, or are concerned this process could strain relationships, let us help.
We understand the contents of your home represent a lifetime of memories and many personal items hold sentimental value.
We will listen to your needs and desired outcomes and work with you to determine what moves with you and what’s distributed to family, donated, sold or disposed.
unFinished Details will leave you with a sparkling clean home ready for market with your relationships intact.
Estate Clearing
When a loved one passes away and you need to clear their home, there are so many pieces to think about. What to keep? What to donate? What to dispose of? Is selling personal or household items an option?
The team at unFinished Details can help with all those big questions. We’ll work with you to determine the best plan of action and provide a full range of services to clear and prepare a home for market.
Most people are completely overwhelmed during this emotionally, physically and financially demanding time. We'll build a manageable timeline and deliver results with compassion, respect and efficiency.
We take care of the details to allow your family the time to grieve. While we work on the property, you can focus on matters of the estate other than clearing out the home.
