Desk Removal in St. Simons Island, GA

In the neighborhoods, a desk is usually coming out of a spare bedroom or a study: a computer desk in St. Simons Heights or a heavy wooden desk in a den in one of the older homes in Glynn Haven. Older houses mean older stairs and narrower doors, and the desk comes apart to suit them.

Now and then the job is an office along the mid-island corridor, with several desks, a credenza and a stack of chairs. On Demere, where the truck stops and how long it can sit there matter as much as the furniture, so the pieces get broken down and staged indoors and the truck spends as little time at the curb as possible.

In an estate, the executive desk from the den is often the heaviest single piece in the house, and its drawers are full of papers that may matter. Anything that looks important is set aside and handed to the family, not decided by us.

On a traditional desk, the file pedestals unbolt from underneath the desktop and the legs come off the apron. L-shaped desks separate at the joining bracket between the two surfaces — usually two or three bolts. A flat-pack desk is quicker still: top off the legs, drawer banks out, and it rides flat.

Sit-stand desks come apart at the motor column so the heavy base carries on its own. Through all of it, the rest of the house should look the same when we’re done.

Send us a few photos and tell us what you need removed. We’ll take it from there.

We figure out the right destination for each desk. A solid-wood desk in good condition may be worth offering to an organization we work with, such as Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which decides what it accepts; particle-board desks usually route to disposal because donation standards on those are tight.

Metal desks, steel frames and filing cabinets can often go for scrap, such as at SA Recycling in Brunswick, and the whole load comes straight off the island.
