St. Albans Estate Help Please!
Greetings all!
We'll be up there shortly to deal with a family estate. Antiques, household goods, a huge garage, housewares. I'm basically going to sort through the stuff, hire some men to do the heavy lifting, haul stuff outside, and hold a week-long estate sale.
Does anyone have recommendations for:
1. Party rental place (tents and tables)
2. Day labor placement service (leaning towards Labor Ready)
3. Places to advertise the sale (besides the Gazette and craigslist!)
4. Demolition Company (garage must be torn down!)
I appreciate your help, and can't wait to get home for a bit! Will hit Blenko and Tamarack and try to keep my mother out of Value City!

For the tents and tables, Huntington has A-Z Rentals that you might try:
A to Z Rentals and Sales
Red Dawson Construction demolished the old church where the new Marshall rec center is going, you might contact them if you can't find someone in St. Albans. Red Dawson Construction, Huntington, WV 25701
Don't forget to advertise the sale in the Herald-Dispatch as well. Lots of antique stores in Central City that may be interested in an estate sale.

My neighbour does all kinds of construction/demo. How big is the garage?
BTW, do you have a queen sized mattress to spare?! Let us know when you have the estate sale and we will swing by to say hello and try to talk you down on some stuff!!

Thanks so far!
Thanks Tres - garage is enclosed without doors, three bays and a large work area. There's no foundation and it's just wood.
Also has great glazed glass windows and some cool, old building features if there's a Habitat for Humanity or an antique building materials place.
tbailey - thanks for the advertising idea! Will definitly use!
And yes, there is a queen bed upstairs! Along with a bedroom set, old magazines, bedding, housewares, dear Lord give me strength!
