Who we are
Start2Shine was founded in 2023 by Ricardo Espinoza and Graz D’Alavarez, two entrepreneurs with extensive experience in junk removal, restaurant maintenance, and commercial equipment dismantling. After years of hands-on work in the field, they launched Start2Shine to bring a smarter, more reliable cleanup solution to homes and businesses across the Portland metro area. With a commitment to efficiency, reliability, and eco-friendly practices, we ensure that every job is completed safely and responsibly—always with a personal touch.
Our Vision
We envision a world where clean, clutter-free spaces empower people to focus on what matters most. By combining expert hauling and removal services with sustainable disposal solutions, we aim to set a new standard in the industry—one where responsible waste management benefits both our communities and the environment.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide top-quality hauling, cleaning, and removal services that make decluttering and cleanup projects hassle-free for our clients. We are dedicated to fast, efficient, and eco-conscious solutions, ensuring that unwanted items are removed safely, recycled whenever possible, and disposed of responsibly.
