Where every project starts

The home assessment.

A two-hour home assessment starts at $300. After the visit, you’ll receive a written plan with a timeline, a vendor budget, and a fixed fee for our services. If you choose a package, we’ll credit the assessment fee toward it.

Questions

Before you call.

Service Area

We primarily serve Manhattan, Westchester, the Hamptons and North Jersey. If your home is outside those areas, tell us where it’s located and we’ll let you know if we can help.

Who handles the move, hauling, and estate sale?

We coordinate the work and oversee it on your behalf. Movers handle packing and transport, haulers remove items that need to go, and estate sale or consignment partners handle sales. We help you decide what to keep, sell, or donate, then arrange pickups and removal for what’s left.

Who does the renovation work?

We have a team of handymen and licensed and insured subcontractors for bigger jobs. You hire them directly. We manage the process on your behalf without marking up their work or taking referral fees.

Can you work with family who live far away?

Absolutely! Many clients never set foot in the house until handoff. You get photos and a written update every Friday.

What happens to things nobody wants?

Sold through an estate sale or consignment partner, donated with receipts, or recycled and hauled responsibly, in that order.

What if the work takes longer than planned?

Your fee covers the scope in your plan. If you add work, we agree the cost in writing before we start it.
