Halloran Salvage

Portrait of Wes Halloran

Wes Halloran

Wes buys out workshops and estates and knows the difference between honest wear and a bodged repair better than anyone we work with. He weighs and measures everything before it is listed, which is why his shipping estimates are the ones we trust.

Weighed, measured, and photographed where the damage is — not where it flatters.
