Q: Who determines how much my furniture is worth and how much of a write off I can claim?
A: The IRS requires the donor to give an appraised value of all items donated. Generally this is done by submitting a professional appraisal. If you have already received an appraisal we can use that or we can help you find a professional appraiser that is experienced with hotel furniture valuations.

Q: How long will it take for you to get everything out of my hotel?
A: Many factors determine how long the job will take such as amount of furniture, number of elevators available, ease of loading and truck access, hours we are permitted to work, and much more. Before the job begins we will give you an estimate of how long we think it will take. If we do not complete the job within a one week grace period after that date, we will compensate you financially. The specifics of this guarantee will be put in writing before we begin the job.
