Common questions
Good to know before you book
Do I need to be home during the job?
For most jobs, yes — but for some outdoor or property cleanouts we can work without you present. Just let us know your situation when you book.
How do you handle remodeling debris or heavy material?
We can haul it, but heavy debris like concrete, tile, and drywall weighs significantly more than household junk. A weight surcharge applies — see the pricing table above.
Is there a minimum for handyman or moving services?
Yes, we have a one-hour minimum on all hourly services. Most jobs take between one and three hours depending on scope.
What areas do you serve?
[We service the Kane, Kendall, and Dupage counties.] Not sure if we cover your area? Just reach out and ask.
Do you recycle or donate items?
When possible, yes. We try to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating to local organizations or recycling eligible materials.
How do I pay?
[We accept all forms of payment cash, Venmo, credit card, etc.]
