What customers said about furniture assembly
This service was amazing! The communication from the office and the 2 men working were so easy to work with! They left the job spotless and were very friendly. I highly recommend them and plan to call them again in the future.
My sister and I are 100% happy with the job performed by our handyman contractor. This job would have been very difficult and frustrating if we have to do it ourselves. We wanted the job to be done properly. We thank you for your services.
Dan fit us in to his busy schedule and took care of our patio furniture assembly even in this heat wave. He was fast, professional, courteous and more than reasonably priced!!! Thank you, Dan!!
Brian assembled two Wayfair media units (one with wrong directions); he was patient and friendly. I was comfortable with him working in my home. I plan to use his services again.
Loren was extremely professional, on time and so thorough! I was extremely impressed with his work, his positive attitude and kindness. We will be having him back for more help very soon!
Can’t overstate how great it was to work with this team. Scheduling was made easy with Bridget and Eric was an absolute pro, paying attention to details and helping us think through how to approach complicated fixes. Will be using them for all future projects
