They charged me $1,500 more than they quoted and didn’t finish the job. Nothing was reassembled. My couch is in my garage and my mattress is on my floor. They said they would come back and finish, but that would have been another extra charge for a service I had already paid for. Save yourself some misery and choose a different company.
