Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: When I do the work there will be no spare parts left out that were supposed to be used during the assembly, like bolts, nails, dowels, felt pads, etc. All pieces will fit snug and be tightened to the right speciffications with no pieces loose or cracked due to overtightening. There will be no scratches and dents on the newly assembled product left by me. I also doublecheck all the parts for the correct colors and factory or shipping defects before I even begin any work. That way I would rather have to come back when the correct equipment is available than assemble or install a product that the customer would not like. It really excites me that I am able to urgently serve people in the entire Washington DC metropolitan area and accommodate their schedule by often working in the evenings and weekends. I also get to travel to a different place each day and learn something new about the area in the process, besides facing unique work challenges. What is more important, every single day I am working I am indeed adding value to the customer and society as a whole. Otherwise they would not have contacted me. It is as simple as that.

I had procrastinated for months getting this table assembled, and I had relatives coming for Christmas, so I needed to get it up. Philip saved the day! Within 20 minutes of emailing him, he gave me a quote for the table and indicated that he could get there within a couple of hours to install it that day (which was especially good, since we had recently gone through a record-setting blizzard and the roads were still not entirely clear). Once Philip got there, he went straight to work and worked diligently until the job was done. He was very friendly, polite, and professional. His fee was a bit high, as compared to the other quotes I received later that day, but it didn't seem unreasonable -- particularly since he was so quick to respond and available to do the same-day request. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

Description Of Work: Two glass doors hung on an IKEA Billy bookshelf; large wardrobe assembled consisting of two cabinets and sliding doors. I contacted Philip to put together a very large (78x92) wardrobe in our master bedroom. He responded quickly and asked a couple of follow up questions such as type of doors and any accessories, so he could provide me with an accurate quote. Since our wardrobe is actually two cabinets together, the price came out to be $160. I also asked him if he could install doors on one of our IKEA bookshelves, which was an extra $30. I contacted a couple of people about this work and Philip was the most responsive and professional. He was easy to reach by e-mail and provided me with his cell phone number as well. I had to change the time of our appointment the night before due to a scheduling conflict and Philip was able to work with me - all right after he had left me a voice mail confirming the details. I came home today to evenly hung IKEA doors on our bookshelf and an amazing wardrobe. The only mess - the boxes for us to recycle. I cannot wait to work with him again.

Philip assembled some Ikea furniture I had purchased. He also dis-assembled and re-assembled a futon bunk bed that I had moved from my former home, and he mounted my flat-panel TV in my new home as well. Philip is very courteous and friendly and does good work. I thought his fees were very reasonable and certainly worth it! He is very flexible in his scheduling.

I have just moved to the area, and had friends coming into town for the weekend, so I was trying to finish geting settled in my new place. I called Philip late in the afternoon asking if he could help me put together an IKEA shelf. The next morning, Philip was at my door. Not only did he put together my shelf, in the two hour minimum for which he charges, he also helped me hang pictures, wall shelves, and even addressed an issue I had with another IKEA piece I had purchased. If you don't have the time or patience to put together furniture, he's worth every dollar.
