About Surv

What We Do

The "what" of our business is simple: we do odd jobs for local homeowners. But our focus is on the "why" behind the need for help. A move isn't picking things up and down. It's moving a divorced family, someone who's downsizing after a lifetime in a big home, or simply someone who needs a new start. Junk removal could be throwing away belongings from someone who has passed, a life full of memories, or maybe just helping declutter someone's home buried in junk. Painting is a fresh start. A landscape is something beautiful to start your day when you leave your home, and an event can help make someone's special wedding day magical.

Our Founder, Patrick Brown

After founding the nation's largest water special effects company, AQUA, Pat Brown revisited the business he used to pay for college because he saw a deeper purpose. In 2017, he lost his best friend to addiction and another friend who took their life. Pat's goal for Surv is to build a business that allows us to fulfill the mission we were built for through genuine community.

At Surv, we believe in forming an authentic community through Agape (loving our neighbors), promoting a full life, and meeting all needs within a community. Surv is a marketplace that allows "community service" to occur full-time. We take members of a community, give them jobs, and have them go Surv their neighbors together.

Pushing this heart and this why model breaks through all of competitors' fancy marketing and promotions because what people desperately need is the why.

That’s our business and our heart. Join us in our mission!
