Changing Places forever changed the lives of three people.
We were hired by Northern Trust Company, wealth management, to help them meet their legal and fiduciary responsibility to ensure a healthy home for their clients.
We transformed a cluttered house infested with mold, rats and extensive water damage into a healthy, vibrant home for a family of three – one of whom is disabled.
This type of project is why we do what we do. We not only transformed a home, but the lives of three people.
Bedroom Before Bedroom After
…all of this 65 miles from our home base.
Over the course of nearly three years, our crew lived at a local hotel to perform tough, dirty and tiring work.
The first phase of our work included:
- De-cluttering the home
- Arranging junk removal
- Organizing items for donation
- Overseeing minor repair work
A year after the initial cleanup, we were hired for a second phase of de-cluttering in preparation for a full remodel.
Our third phase of work included:
- Moving the family back into the home
- Working with our designer to purchase and arrange new furnishings
- Unpacking and de-cluttering items in storage
- Delivering a beautifully new finished home
