Assemble a wardrobe or bed frame
About two hours.
Service
Assembled, tightened and quiet
The pile of boxes in the hall, the drawer that sticks, the cabinet door that hangs crooked. All small, all irritating.
I put together furniture, tighten and adjust cabinet hinges and drawer slides, fix squeaky stair treads and loose handles, and take care of the small things that pile up on a list. Give me six jobs and I'll do as many as one visit holds.
What's included
Assemble beds, wardrobes, desks and shelving
Adjust cabinet doors and drawer slides
Fix squeaky stair treads and loose handles
Anchor tall furniture to the wall so it can't tip
Work through a list of small jobs in one visit
What changes the time
Why one job takes an hour and another takes three
Number of boxes
A flat-pack wardrobe is two or three hours. A whole bedroom set is a day, and I'll say so.
The list
Several small jobs in one visit make the minimum worth it. Send me the whole list, photos if you can.
Missing parts
If a piece is missing from the box, I stop and tell you, not improvise a fix that fails later.

Questions
Assembly and small fixes: what people ask
Can you put together furniture I ordered online?
Yes, as long as you have all the parts and the instructions. I'll check the box against the list before I start.
How many small jobs fit in one visit?
Usually four to six, depending on size. Send the list and I'll tell you what fits.
Do you fix drawers and cabinet doors?
Adjusting, tightening or replacing hinges and slides, yes. Refacing or rebuilding cabinets, no.
Send me a photo of the job
I'll answer with the hours I expect and whether I'm the right person for it.
