Introduction

Hi, My name is Gonzalo, I am an undergraduate at St. John's University in Queens, NY. I specialize in assembling and disassembling home furniture (Ikea, Wayfair, etc.), installing and uninstalling flat-screen TVs, repairing drywall, hanging frames, and assisting with household DIY projects. I can also build outdoor sheds and play structures. I can also do baseboards, crown molding, window blinds & more. With my own power tools and transportation, I'm fluent in both English and Spanish. I have 12 years of experience and offer negotiable rates based on availability and travel distance. I operate solo but can outsource if necessary. I provide accurate estimates and charge only for additional materials if needed. Currently, I do assembly projects to help pay tuition and support my daughter. I'm committed to ensuring all my customers are satisfied with my services. I'll respond promptly with an estimate based on your needs.

I cannot say enough about Gonzalo. He is delightful, works very quickly, is fair with his prices, and his work is exceptional. He is an impressive young man and I know you will not be disappointed. As a person living alone, I was concerned about who would show up and if I was safe. When I met Gonzalo, those fears were instantly gone. He assembled all of my Wayfair furniture, some of which was very complicated. He also helped me put down a carpet and moved my Peloton (which was not planned). He responded right away and was able to come the same day we communicated! He put together my cabinet, bathroom storage, and dresser in just a few short hours. He has a lovely personality, and I actually enjoyed his company! I will continue to hire Gonzalo.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are not final when I reach out. They are only final once I understand the project and the magnitude of the task. Usually I end up quoting under my original asking price!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will quote a price based on the information provided. I will ask your availability and preference on when the job can be done. Then we set up a date and time. I will arrive on time and complete the job on time. If you have any trouble with the job I personally guarantee it.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I grew up in with a single mom and always built the furniture in the house In middle school I started providing my services to people in the neighborhood. Then in high school and throughout college I have mastered my craft.
