Captrove · Service area

We come to the house. Usually within an hour of San Antonio.

This work happens at your kitchen table, so where you are matters more here than anywhere else in the family.

Where we work

San Antonio, the Hill Country, and out from there.

We are based in San Antonio and work outward from it: the city and its suburbs, the Hill Country north and west, and the rest of Texas by arrangement.

San Antonio

Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Olmos Park, Monte Vista, Stone Oak and everywhere between. Most sessions are a single afternoon.

The Hill Country

Boerne, Fair Oaks, Bulverde, New Braunfels. Often a longer single visit rather than several short ones, which suits everybody.

Assisted living and care homes

We work in a resident's room at their pace, with family on the phone if they cannot be there. This is the most time-sensitive work we do.

Estates being cleared

A house on a deadline, with photographs nobody can identify. We come before the skip, not after.

Families spread out

One relative here, the rest elsewhere. We record in the room and deliver to everybody, so the knowledge is not held by whoever happened to be local.

Further afield

Austin, Houston and the Valley by arrangement. For a large collection the trip is usually worth it; we will tell you when it is not.

Travel

What the drive costs.

Inside Loop 1604 there is no travel charge. Out to Boerne, New Braunfels, Bulverde, Fair Oaks Ranch, Canyon Lake and Spring Branch is usually a flat addition rather than mileage. Further than that — Fredericksburg, Kerrville, Austin, the Coastal Bend — we quote the trip honestly, and if it is not worth your money we say so.

If the person who remembers is unwell or elderly, say so when you write. We will move things around — that is the whole reason this business exists.

Next step

Tell us what is in the box.

Roughly how much there is, whose it is, and whether there is someone we should sit with sooner rather than later. We will tell you what it would take.
