• Kitchen and hunting knife sharpening while you wait on our state-of-the-art Resharp machine. Each knife takes about 2-3 minutes to sharpen and you’re on your way.
• In-house garden implement sharpening: hand pruners, grass clippers, axes, hatches, shovels, half-moon edgers, hedge sheers, lopers, pitch forks, lawnmower blades, scissors, chain saw blades, and machetes. Leave your tool with us, and we’ll have it sharpened and ready for you in about 7-10 days.
• Pencils: we have an old fashion pencil sharpener. It’s impressive. Bring in your dull pencils and sharpen them yourself here in the store.

Screen Repairs

• We repair window and door screens in-house. Typically, the wait is under a week in the winter and up to 2-3 weeks in the summer.

Shredding

• We accept clean, dry paperwork for shredding. We have locked bins on site that hold your documents securely before Access Shredding comes to shred the documents on-site. Please check to make sure your documents are free from CDs, plastic sheets, and heavy binder clips. Paperclips and file folders do not have to be removed.
