Frequently Asked Questions

If you can remove smaller items, that keeps things moving smoothly. When larger furniture needs to be relocated, I can take care of moving and protecting it. Depending on the scope, furniture handling may be included as an additional line item in the estimate.

Yes. I keep the workspace neat daily and leave your home respected, not disrupted.
