Built square and tight
Squares checked, cam-locks properly seated, back panels pinned — the details that decide whether it still feels solid in a year.

What's included
What this service covers.
The six things people book most, and what each one includes.
Placed where it goes
Carried in, set level on floors that are not, and shimmed where an old house demands it.
Anchored when it is tall
Every bookcase and tall dresser offered a tip-over anchor to the wall. For a home with children or unsteady adults, we treat it as required.
Drawers and doors tuned
Aligned, softened where the design allows, and opened-and-closed a final time with you.
Hardware tightened to spec
Tightened to the manufacturer's spec, not past it.
Packaging removed
Cardboard, foam and the forty clips you did not need leave with us.
What we don't do

If a job needs a licensed trade, a permit, or an engineer, we tell you on the phone and point you to the right person.

Build, place, anchor
Everything assembled, set where it belongs, anchored if tall, and the house left as we found it.

Local detail
How your town changes the work.
Older floors are the local complication. In Kensington and Wethersfield homes, a floor that runs an inch out over a room is normal — so is the bookcase that leans with it. We shim and level rather than let a new piece wobble on a 1790s floor.
Around Berlin and Newington, a lot of what we assemble is for parents' homes — a firmer chair, a bed rail, reachable shelving. The assembly is the easy part; placing it so it actually helps is what we pay attention to.
Second-floor walk-ups in New Britain and Bristol two- and three-families add stairs and narrow turns to every delivery. If a finished piece will not make the corner, we know before we build it in the truck — some things are better assembled in the room.
Where this job comes up most
Every town page carries the housing stock, the roads and the timing for that place.
Licensed & insured in CT. The certificate goes out with a quote on request — useful when a family member is approving from out of state.
Before you book
Common questions.
Can you assemble what I already started?
Yes — and there is no judgment. Half-finished is our most common starting point.
Do you remove the packaging?
All of it, including the box that will not fit in the bin. It goes with us.
I bought a murphy bed / loft bed system.
Those we are glad to do — they are exactly the jobs where square and anchored matters most. Expect it quoted as its own visit, because it is one.
Will you move my old furniture out?
Within the house, yes. Down to the curb or to the dump, ask and we will talk — disposal is quoted separately.
Can you hang the TV and shelves while you are here?
That is the right time to do it — one visit, everything on the wall before the room is back together.
What does it cost?
A single piece runs $120–$300. A bedroom or office set is usually a half-day at $350–$600. Murphy beds and loft systems are quoted as their own visit. One number, agreed before the first box is opened.
Is it worth paying someone to assemble furniture?
If a box takes you a weekend and ends up wobbly, yes. We bring the tools and the anchoring hardware, and the piece ends up square, level and safe. In a home with children or anyone unsteady, the wall anchor alone is worth the visit.
