Furniture Assembly in San Francisco and the Peninsula

The flat-pack boxes in the garage stop being furniture-in-theory. We assemble it square and tight, anchor what should never tip, and haul the cardboard out when we go.

What we assemble

Residential-scale assembly, done properly: furniture, storage systems, desks and beds, play structures. Everything gets built level and racked square, fasteners seated without stripping, and — the part that matters with kids in the house — tall pieces anchored to studs. Box breakdown and donation staging ride along as part of the visit.

How we approach it

We build off the instructions but check the geometry ourselves — a case that’s racked out of square never sits right and never lasts. Fasteners go in by hand to final tension so nothing strips, drawers and doors get aligned before we call it done, and anything tall or top-heavy gets found-stud anchoring rather than a drywall anchor that lets go the first time it’s leaned on. Then the cardboard and packaging leave with us.

When to book it

Fold it into a visit whenever the boxes are stacking up — a wardrobe, a bunk bed, a set of shelves, the trampoline that’s been in the garage since spring. Because it’s booked on the same list as everything else, the assembly and the mounting and the odd repair all happen in one trip instead of three separate ones.

Commonly paired with: doors & windows and minor electrical — the mounting-and-hardware list that tends to ride along with new furniture.

Scope, plainly

  • Furniture & equipment assembly — Residential-scale.

What this doesn't cover

The limits above are the honest line. Major remodels, permit-requiring work, and full rebuilds are project territory — we'll tell you plainly at the walk-through, and when a job needs a licensed specialty trade we coordinate vetted subs on one invoice.

What it costs

One published member rate — $125/hr — booked in half- or full-day visits. No per-job quotes, no padding. 2 free hours apply first, to your first project each membership year. See membership pricing →

Common questions

All questions →
What happens at the walk-through?

About an hour, free. We document rooms, mechanicals, appliances, measurements and paint codes to start your home's record, then plan your first visit around a real first project.

I just bought my home. Can you use my inspection report?

Yes. Bring it to the walk-through and we'll turn its findings into your to-do list.

What does the membership include?

Annual Membership is $500/yr: a documented walk-through, your list managed by us, priority scheduling, the crew at $125/hr whenever you book, 2 free hours every membership year applied to your first project, an annual Home Health Check, a direct line to your home advisor, and access to our referral network of vetted tradespeople.

What's the hourly rate, and how does crew size affect it?

$125/hr, and that covers a crew of up to 2. When safety or scope needs more hands — heavy carries, working at height — each additional tech is $55/hr, and we flag it before we book the visit, never after.
