    Estate Cleaning ChicagoInheriting a family estate can cause mixed emotions depending on the situation. Folks often find there is heavy estate cleaning and restoration required. Is this something you can tackle on your own, or do you need a company like ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons in Chicago to handle your estate cleaning?

    Estate cleaning is not just the process of removing unwanted junk and using a few household cleaners. Many estates require proper restoration to retain the value of the location. This can involve painters, moving companies, recycling, etc. While this is something that can be managed, you need to ask yourself if you can handle this responsibility.

    A great alternative to personally worrying about how to properly clean the estate is to hire professionals. ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons is an all around solution to your estate cleaning needs. Rather than calling and organizing multiple companies to get the results you need, we can complete every aspect of the job, and it only takes a single phone call.

    Estate cleaning can be a very daunting task. You may have appliances that need to be removed, walls that need cleaning and painting, property that needs to be donated, or historical inventory that needs to be properly restored and tagged. All of these tasks can add stress to a situation that may already be weighing on you.

    An easy way to decide if professionals are needed is to tour the estate and start a cleaning list. If you find the list itself is overwhelming, it’s time to call a professional. If you complete your list and find that you can properly carry out most tasks, it is recommended that you organize the task list in a manner that allows you to start with the easier tasks. As tasks get tougher and stress becomes a factor, you can call upon our professional assistance to deal with the remaining estate cleaning.

    There are many ways to properly manage estate cleaning. The best thing you can do is evaluate the situation and organize your tasks to get a better understanding of your needs. You can then make a decision about who else needs to get involved in the estate cleaning. If you find yourself facing the emotional and highly stressful task of an estate cleaning, please give ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons a call. We will professionally and compassionately help you deal with the required tasks to make this process as stress-free for you as possible.
