Home to Home in Guilford, a senior move management company, offers services beyond just moving. Before you put your house on the market, a house clean-out by Home to Home may be in order.

Since there are almost always things that you may not want or need in your new home, Jos Jansen explains, “It’s the way we go about it that sets us apart. We don’t take short cuts; we go the extra mile for everyone involved.”

They recycle, repurpose, resell and use proper disposal services.

Mattresses – Barnabus Network professionally sanitizes and donates to families in need.

Household chemicals, paints, turpentine, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, solvents and cleaners goes to Household Hazardous Waste.

Paper work – Shredded or taken to Triad Paper Recycling who pays you by weight.

Metal, appliances, tools, rusty garden tools, pipes, broken metal furniture, towel bars, bed frames, etc. – Money from buy-back-centers is returned to you, the customer.

Items that are reusable but of no use to the owner are taken as a donation to a charity of choice. Example, books can go to church sales and clothes to consignment. Unwanted household items, including new building/finishing materials, such as flooring, cabinets, and lighting fixtures, can find a new home at Habitat Restore, Habitat for Humanity.

Last but not least. Some things, as much as they may mean to you, as much as you still want them, as much as they cost you new but just will not fit into your new location, can be repurposed, reused and resold. Home to Home makes every effort to resell valuable items, such as furniture, and often conducts estate sales.

This senior move management company is interlinked to many community providers, services, senior service companies, collectors, and realtors who can provide referrals where needed. As Jansen says, “Our customers repeatedly say that they feel so much better when someone else can use what they don’t need. Repurpose where possible for the environment, community and customer.”
