Services

Complete estate services — from settlement to renovation, all under one roof.

The service list is built around the work that actually spans trades — projects where the value is in the holding, not in any one isolated task. Pick one service or several — the answer stays the same: one team, one conversation, one settled result.

Six lanes

Pick the lane that fits.

One short note per lane — a real person reads every intake and replies within one business day with a follow-up question, a phone number, or a time to walk the house.

Estate sales

A house settles with the people still in the room — pricing, staging, marketing, the day-of crew, and the cheque at the end. Run as a treating-the-chapter-not-the-furniture operation. From the kitchen-window morning to the last sale lot.

Cleanouts

Estate, hoarder, and post-renovation cleanouts — sorted, donated, recycled, disposed. What can be reused stays in the 518. The property is handed back broom-clean, ready for the next set of keys.

Appraisals

A defensible number for the chapter that is coming — property valuation, walkthroughs, and a trusted presence when the owner cannot be in the room. The figure written and signed; the family able to read it out loud.

Skilled trades

Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, masonry — fixture swaps through repipes. Licensed, on one schedule, and the kind of work that still passes a second look ten winters from now.

Remodels

A single room or the whole house — scope, design, schedule, project-managed, every trade on one contract. A renovation is a kind of transition; we treat it that way, start to walkthrough.

Antique identification

A photo, a question, a first-pass read. Our research team identifies, dates, and values objects the family is not sure about — the kind of attention that turns a curious piece into a settled answer.

Identify with AI

First-pass read on an heirloom.

Upload a clear, well-lit photo. We'll send it through our reading model and come back with a working draft — title, era, style, what marks we can spot, and what the condition looks like from the image. A real appraisal still comes from the bench; this is the start of the conversation.

Pricing, neighborhoods, timelines, what happens to unsold items, the agreement, and how payments are scheduled — the questions estate sellers actually ask, answered plainly.

The chapter is the work. We wrote down what we believe and how we operate — the principles that hold the practice together across estate, valuation, renovation, and trade work.

Property valuation

Independent eyes and a defensible number — before the listing, before the appraisal, before the family has to read the figure out loud.

Property Inspections

Before a listing, a purchase, or a seasonal walkthrough. We write what we see — priorities, deferred maintenance, the roof that needs another two winters vs. the one that needs to come off this fall. Photos in the report, recommendations with reasoning, and a roadmap a non-builder can read.

Inspector Stand-Ins

For owners in another state, executors holding a property from a distance, or buyers who want a second pair of eyes. We meet inspectors and contractors on site, take notes, photograph the conversation, and send back a plain summary you can act on from your kitchen table.
Ask about Inspector Stand-Ins

Property Valuation

What a property is worth — for sale, for estate settlement, for an insurance review, for a tax appeal. We walk the house, take the comps, write the report, and stand behind the number when the family needs to read it out loud.

Contents inventory & cleanout

Sort, photograph, appraise, route. The contents find where they will be used; the property is left broom-clean.

Cleanouts

Estate, hoarder, and post-renovation cleanouts — handled in a way that lets the right plate end up where it will be used. Sorted, donated, recycled, disposed. What can be reused stays in the community; what is truly gone goes quietly. The property is left broom-clean, ready for its next chapter.

Renovation coordination

Licensed trade work delivered in-house or coordinated end-to-end — every trade on one schedule, one contract, one finished result.

Remodels

A single room or the whole house — we scope, design, schedule, and project-manage so you sign one contract and walk into a finished result. Every trade coordinated, every change order in writing, and a project that finishes on the timeline we said it would.
Ask about Remodels

Plumbing

Fixture swaps, leak repair, water-heater replacement, supply-line upgrades, rough-in for remodels. Licensed, on schedule, and the kind of work that still passes a second look ten years from now.
Ask about Plumbing

Electrical

Service-panel work, dedicated circuits, lighting plans, and code corrections. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and hand you a system the next electrician will be able to read without guessing.
Ask about Electrical

Carpentry

Custom trim, door and window replacements, decks, repairs, finish carpentry for remodels. The kind of work that does not move when the seasons change — measured twice, joined once, fastened to outlast the next decade.
Ask about Carpentry

Masonry

Brick and block repair, chimney repointing and crowns, stone walks, foundation patching. Masonry that respects the wall it is joining — modern materials applied with the patience the trade actually requires.

Disposition & sale

Pricing, staging, marketing, the day-of crew, the cheque. One point of contact from intake to final settlement.

Estate Sales

A house has held forty years of dinners, holidays, and one quiet morning at the kitchen window. We settle it with that in mind — pricing, staging, marketing, the day-of crew, the cheque. One point of contact from intake to final settlement, and a sale that treats every piece like the chapter it came from.

Ongoing management

Stewardship between owners — walk-throughs, vendor alignment, paperwork, the quiet work that holds a property together.

Estate Management

Probate takes months. Out-of-town heirs hold the keys for years. A vacancy settles into neglect if no one is checking the gutters. We walk the property on a regular cadence, keep the vendors aligned, hold the paperwork, and tend the small things before they turn into the expensive ones.
