Tim and his crew were amazing from day one. My grandma left us with a large house (with a lot of stuff) that needed to be cleaned out and there wasn’t a crumb left after they were done. They worked so quick and were so easy to work with at such a difficult time for our family. We can’t recommend them enough. If you need a quick clean out- Tim is your guy.

Shields Estate Solutions cleaned out my home after I moved to a retirement community. As a senior who was downsizing and making a monumental lifestyle change the move and all that had gone into it was incredibly stressful and difficult. The last step was to empty out my house so it could be sold.

Tim and his crew made this last step a stress-free breeze. Every step was easy, communication was great, and the crew was friendly , efficient, and professional, all on top of working on a 100+ degree day! Having this team finish off the final part of my transition was a welcome relief to a loooooong process. I highly recommend that these are the folks you want to help you through downsizing of any sort.

Tim and his crew did an amazing job! If you are downsizing and need help with liquidating your belongings, call Shields Estate Solutions. Tim offered a fair compensation for the remainder of my mom’s furniture and using his clean out services was a piece of mind. Once you move the belongings you wish to keep, he cleans out EVERYTHING; this makes the moving process way less stressful.
Highly recommend!! 🤩

Tim Shields was great to work with when we were downsizing. He and his crew got our house cleaned out quickly and painlessly. We felt like the pricing was more than fair balancing the value of our pieces while also taking into account the labor and time his company was putting into the process. Mr. Shields is very professional and respectful. He was always considerate of the emotional aspect of dealing with personal items and all the memories involved. Highly recommend Shields Estate Solutions

Every family has different needs when it comes to downsizing. That’s why we create a personalized plan for each project, ensuring belongings are handled carefully while helping simplify the transition to a new living arrangement.

Our senior downsizing services include:

  • Sorting and organizing personal belongings, including a simple four-box system to help each person decide what to keep
  • Identifying items to keep, donate, recycle, or dispose of

  • Furniture and household item removal
  • Donation coordination for usable items
  • Responsible recycling and disposal

Downsizing should make sense for your current home, current needs, health, independence, cost, and lifestyle. Measuring a new space or new home can help determine what furniture will fit. When needed, senior move managers and related professionals can coordinate movers and estate sales for a smooth transition, and a manager may also help with accurate pricing to maximize value.

Whether you’re downsizing from a longtime home in Liberty or assisting a loved one moving into a nearby retirement or assisted living community, our experienced team works efficiently while treating every home with the care it deserves.

We understand that many families are balancing busy schedules while helping aging parents make difficult decisions. Our goal is to reduce the burden so you can focus on supporting your loved one throughout the transition.
