Why Burkes Works

Tommy Burke has been on every side of a job site

Swinging hammers on gut-out crews. Running three-bedroom moves solo. Assembling showroom floors of flat-pack furniture. Hauling estate clearouts nobody else would touch. That range is what gets a stalled project moving.

One guy, start to finish

When your timeline is slipping, you need someone whose only loyalty is to your project. Tommy doesn't sub out the work or hand you off to a rotating crew — the person who quotes the job is the person who does it, and the place is cleaner when he leaves than when he arrived.

What Tommy does

Targeted help for the jobs you keep putting off

01

Interior Demolition

Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole floors — taken down to clean, exposed studs so your contractor can start building the day after we finish.

02

Moving & Hauling

Full apartments, houses, or that one impossible couch. A careful pace on the stairs and your new place livable the same night.

03

Furniture Assembly

IKEA hauls, PAX wardrobe walls, office fit-outs, nursery sets. Built square the first time so drawers glide and doors line up.

Property clearout in progress
No middlemen

We don't sub out the work

That's the whole point. No broker taking a cut, no mystery crew showing up in an unmarked truck, no “we found something” upcharges without a conversation first.

  • The guy who quotes the job is the guy who shows up
  • Flat, honest numbers — the quote is the price
  • One phone call covers demo through cleanup

Proof on the job

Gutted our 1,100 sq ft rental down to the studs in a day and a half, hauled every bag of debris, and swept the floors before he left. My GC started framing the next morning.

Property investor — Lawrenceville duplex

Three-bedroom move across town with a piano. Nothing scratched, nothing rushed, and he reassembled the beds before dinner. First mover I'd actually text again.

Homeowner — Squirrel Hill to Mt. Lebanon

Full PAX wardrobe wall plus fourteen flat-packs for our new office. Everything square, everything anchored, cardboard gone the same day. Worth every dollar.

Office manager — Strip District startup

Most “disasters” we fix started as a two-hour job someone put off.

Bring Tommy in early, while the fix is still cheap. Demo, moving, assembly, junk, washing, repairs.
