Tell me what you've got

A photo and a rough description is enough – I'll tell you what's possible, what it costs, and whether it's worth doing at all.

    Worth reaching out even if —

  • You have an odd tool you're not sure I handle
  • You have a severely chipped or badly ground blade
  • You need it back by a particular day
  • You're not sure your address falls inside the service area

There is nowhere to drop off in person. Everything moves by route-day pickup inside the service area, or by post from anywhere else. The mailing address will be provided with your quote.
