Makell was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual and came prepared with his own tools and everything needed to build the bed frame. He completed a “2 person” job solo in such a quick time. I’d work him again and again!

My oversized sectional couch got moved into the attic - up a narrow staircase 1 - after so many people said it couldn’t be done. Makell is a magician!!!

My wife and I recently moved to South Philly and purchased a sectional couch off Facebook Marketplace. While we managed to get one side of the sectional into our apartment with the help of six friends, the longer section simply couldn’t fit through the narrow staircase and doorframe. We were determined to keep the couch but had no idea how to make it work.
After researching solutions for deconstructing and reconstructing couches, I came across Makell on Thumbtack. His glowing reviews convinced us that he was the perfect person for the job. I reached out, and he responded almost immediately. Within three days, Makell came to our apartment and worked his magic.
Makell deconstructed the sectional, maneuvered it through the tight spaces, and reconstructed it flawlessly in our living room. The craftsmanship was impeccable—the leather looked exactly as it did before, and the couch is now perfect!
Makell truly is a FURNITURE SURGEON. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! If you live in an apartment with narrow hallways or spaces, I highly recommend Makell for any furniture challenges. He turned a stressful situation into an amazing result!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is affordable and is based on your description/pictures. If for some reason I have to do more than what we spoke about from the pictures or not having a good description the price could change minimally.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like for customers to send pictures or give a very detailed descriptions of the item/ damage and cause . The we move forward by selecting a date and time and lastly coming to an agreement on pricing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
