History

Established in 2008.

Life’s Next Step was established to help seniors and their families successfully and positively meet the challenges with downsizing family homes of 30, 40 or even 50 years and handling the logistics of moving and transitioning into smaller homes or retirement communities. It became apparent that seniors also needed help with making repairs to their homes in order to get it on the market so Life’s Next Step Construction Services was started. Life’s Next Step has continued to meet the needs of our clients and Life’s Next Step Estate Clean-​outs Services was born. Our Estate Clean-​out Service helps families sort through the contents of the home, pull cherished and valuable items for the family and then helps to disburse the remaining contents for the family.
