This fall, ServiceMaster Restore entered into a partnership with Matt Paxton, “Hoarders” TV personality, cleaner and author, to expand the reach of the franchise’s hoarding and estate cleaning services across the country. As part of the partnership, Paxton will help ServiceMaster Restore with training and consultation and the franchise will help provide additional staff to assist with handling hoarding cases.

“We often talk about restoring people’s lives,” says Tom Coba, ServiceMaster Restore president. “The similarity is there for the hoarding business, estate cleanup, as well as the work we do every day with restoration, whether it’s a small homeowner’s job or some of the major catastrophes.”
