What a lovely guy. He helped us immensely after we tried to put our new chairs together but couldn't do it correctly. He said he could do it easy-peasy, and he was right! Thank you so much to Mensch with a Wrench! A+++

Ron is very knowledgeable, personable, beyond efficient and hilarious!!! He does way more than just furnitureassembly. So, just ask and he might be able to do. Fair pricing and doesn’t try to gouge you at the end. I would definitely recommend and plan to use him for other projects in the future. Most definitely 10/10

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My hourly and base rate is $75. That's also my minimum service charge.
I'm not easily offended so please, don't be shy about your budget, I'll do my best to work within it.
And for project-work I can usually put a flat cost together once we scope out the job together.
I always guarantee my work as you should expect. :-)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we discuss what you need completed via phone. If you can send pictures that's always very helpful particularly on projects that involve assembly of furniture, cabinets or installation of things like vanities, window treatments or hanging Tv's.
We estimate the time together and then I'll provide a cost-estimate.
When I arrive, we look over the space and project to be completed. Then I'll bring the tools needed to the space and get started.
Once you are satisfied, I'll ask for payment via cash, venmo, ca$h app or Zelle.
And I'll be back next time you need me.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
30 years of home ownership but I've been good with tools since I worked in the Scuba & Ski industry back in the 80's in Rhode Island - ask away!
