Out of Town? We'll Handle the Whole House Without You
Many of the families we work for live hours — or states — away from the home they've inherited. Making trip after trip to sort a lifetime of belongings isn't realistic. Sanford & Son handles the entire clean out from a distance: you send us the keys, we send you photos.
How it works from a distance
1. Call or text 443-223-8036. We set up a walk-through with whoever has a key — a neighbor, realtor, attorney or lockbox.
2. You tell us what to keep and where to ship it. We pack it and send it.
3. We liquidate what has value, donate what can be used, recycle what can't, and haul the rest.
4. You get a broom-clean house and photos of the finished job — ready for the realtor.
Storage unit cleanouts
Inherited a storage unit, or paying for one you'll never use again? We clear units of every size across Central and Southern Maryland, often the same week. Items with value are sold and credited to your quote, the rest is donated or recycled, and we hand the empty unit back to the facility so the rent stops.
Who we work with
• Executors and family members who live out of state
• Realtors and estate attorneys
• Property managers and landlords
• Facility managers at storage sites
Full estate liquidations, whole-house cleanouts and hoarding cleanouts are all handled the same way. Call or text 443-223-8036 and let us know what you're dealing with — we'll give you a free, no-obligation quote.
