THERE’S MORE TO THE STORY

Local work.
Local connection.

Our Facebook page is a window into Second Chance: the crew, the work, and the community we’re part of. Fresh Start Friday gives that last part a place on our calendar, with time set aside to care for shared neighborhood spaces.

BEFORE YOU REACH OUT

A few useful answers.

Can I ask about just one piece of furniture?

Yes. Describe the item and whether you want it moved or removed. Include the pickup location and any stairs or tight access so we can discuss the scope and a quote.

Can you help move items into storage?

Tell us what you’re storing, the pickup town, and the storage destination. Mention unit access, elevators, and any facility scheduling rules you know about. We’ll talk through the handling and moving help needed.

What affects my estimate?

The items, amount of work, access, and travel help us understand your project. Packing or loading needs also matter. We’ll discuss your specific job rather than assume a price from a short description.

Do I need a Facebook account to request a quote?

No. You can use the form on this page or call us directly. A request starts a conversation; it does not reserve a service date.

Let’s put a plan behind that project.
