Hi, as of dad of four kids, I have spent the last 30 years putting together all sorts of furniture for bedrooms, the living room, kitchen, dining room and of course outside patio. So now I'd like to provide the same service and expertise to my neighbors.

Even in the intense heat, Chris (and his assistant!) did a great job assembling our outdoor tool shed. We’re very happy and will call on him again for our next job 😊

Chris did a great job assembling a5 drawer chest for my bedroom and a standing cabinet
For my bathroom. He was knowledgeable in working with and following the directions. It didn’t take him very long to finish the job.
I am very pleased with the work he did for me. I have already recommended him to my daughter
and she has hired him to wall mount her TV and hang some pictures and an antique clock.
I will most definitely rehire him as needed.
I rate him as a 5 star out of 1-5.

Chris was quick to respond, communicative and super friendly! He got right to work and even when there was a minor hiccup with the manufacturing of one of our pieces, he first offered to take the item home, cut it to the correct size, and bring it back! Then he called in reinforcements and they were able to solve the issue in minutes. Would certainly recommend!

Chris was awesome. He did the project quickly and when the shed he was building had missing parts, he went to Home Depot for me to get them. I highly recommend him!

Chris was stellar, and I definitely plan to use him again in the future! After moving into a new place, my wife and I had a bunch of furniture we needed assembled - Chris gave us a (very reasonable) fixed price for the various things we needed assembled, he came out when he said he was, he was professional, courteous, and the quality of his assembly was great! Some of the items he put together included: a very big bunk bed, a grill, a workbench, a couple desks.
Overall, 10/10 - definitely recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I prefer not to charge by the hour but by the job as in the long run, it comes out less expensive for the customer.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once I make the initial contact and schedule the job, I will confirm by text messages and then we'll also confirm once I'm on my way. Once completed, I have the customer review the completed item to make sure that it's done to their specifications.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 30 years of experience with carpentry, furniture remodeling and assembly.
