HAUL PROS provides compassionate storage unit cleanouts, preventing auctions, easing emotional stress, and giving families peace of mind during difficult times.

Losing a loved one is one of life’s hardest moments. In addition to grief, families are often faced with unexpected responsibilities — from settling estates to clearing out belongings. One situation that catches many by surprise is discovering that a loved one left behind one or more storage units filled with possessions.

Sorting through a parent’s, sibling’s, or spouse’s belongings can be emotionally draining. Every box carries memories, and deciding what to keep or let go becomes painful.
