Assembly

Furniture assembly and wall-mounting across San Diego

We build flat-pack furniture and take it apart, whether it's a standalone job or bolted onto a move. Bed frames, dressers, desks, cribs, bookcases, and home-gym gear go together right the first time, with the right cam locks and no stripped wood-screw holes. We also mount TVs and shelving into studs, though we coordinate any actual electrical work rather than performing it ourselves.

What's included in this service?

  • IKEA and flat-pack assembly (MALM, PAX, BILLY, HEMNES, and every other line) with the correct allen keys and cam locks on hand
  • Bed frame, dresser, desk, bookcase, and crib assembly or disassembly for a move or a standalone delivery
  • Home-gym and treadmill assembly, including bolted frame assembly that takes two sets of hands to align safely
  • TV and shelf wall-mounting into studs, with a stud-finder check before a single hole goes in
  • Coordination with an electrician when a mount job needs power run or an outlet moved, since we don't do electrical work ourselves
  • Hourly two-person crews for multi-item jobs, or simple per-item pricing when it's one piece

When do you need this service?

  • You bought flat-pack furniture from IKEA Mission Valley or ordered it online and don't want to spend a Saturday on it
  • You need furniture disassembled before a move and reassembled after, without losing a single cam lock or dowel
  • You're mounting a TV or shelving and want it anchored into a stud, not just drywall anchors
  • You have a treadmill, weight rack, or other home-gym piece that needs two people to assemble safely
  • You booked a move with us and want assembly added on so it's one visit, not two

What do homeowners ask about Assembly?

Do you assemble IKEA furniture specifically?

Yes, IKEA is most of what we build. MALM dressers, PAX wardrobes, BILLY bookcases, HEMNES beds, we've built them all enough times to know where the instructions are wrong. We bring our own allen keys and extra cam locks and dowels, since IKEA boxes routinely ship one short.

Will you also break furniture down before a move?

Yes. Disassembly and reassembly of bed frames, dining tables, and flat-pack pieces is standard on any move we run, and available as a standalone job too. We bag and label hardware by piece so nothing gets lost between your old place and the new one.

Can you mount a TV or shelf into the wall?

We mount TVs and floating shelves into wall studs, using a stud-finder before we drill so the mount is load-bearing where it needs to be. If the job needs an outlet moved or new power run behind the wall, that's electrical work, and we'll coordinate with a licensed electrician rather than do it ourselves.

How is a small assembly job priced versus a full crew?

A single item, like one dresser or one desk, is usually flat per-item pricing so you know the number before we start. Anything bigger, like a full bedroom set, a home gym, or multiple wall mounts, moves to our hourly 2-person crew rate with a 1-hour minimum. We'll tell you which pricing applies before we book the job.

Can assembly be added to a move I already booked?

Yes, that's the most common way we do it. Tell us at booking or even the morning of, and we'll size the crew and the time window to include assembly at your new place, so you're not calling a second company after the truck leaves.

Service area

Where do we offer Assembly in San Diego County?

We provide assembly in every city and community in San Diego County. Pick your city for local climate notes and service specifics.

Central Assembly in San Diego Downtown high-rise condo work along Pacific Highway, Kettner, and Island Avenue dominates the call mix, with COI submission to building management 48-72 hours ahead and reserved freight elevators with full pad protection. Hillcrest and North Park craftsman bungalows on Adams Avenue and University often have no driveway access, forcing 17-foot shuttle staging from the curb.
Coastal Assembly in Coronado Naval Air Station North Island PCS volume runs year-round, with Government Bill of Lading paperwork on most military moves. The Village's narrow Victorian-era alleys around Orange Avenue and 8th Street force 17-foot shuttle staging on many addresses, and historic homes need careful pad protocol on plaster walls older than seven decades.
North Coastal Assembly in Oceanside Camp Pendleton PCS volume drives a substantial share of Oceanside moves, with summer (May-August) running hot and Government Bill of Lading paperwork on most military jobs. South O beach bungalows along The Strand and Pacific Street have alley-only access where 26-foot trucks struggle to clear utility poles.
North Coastal Assembly in Carlsbad Master-planned HOAs in Aviara, La Costa, Bressi Ranch, and Robertson Ranch require certificate of insurance filings naming the association as additional insured before crews enter the gate, with move-day hour windows typically restricted to 8 AM-5 PM weekdays. New-construction handoffs in active build areas run nearly weekly through the building cycle.
North Coastal Assembly in Encinitas Leucadia and Cardiff bungalows on Neptune Avenue and Vulcan Avenue have no off-street parking, so coastal commission and city permits cover curb staging on most beach-block addresses. Olivenhain estate moves on multi-acre lots routinely involve outbuildings, garage workshops, and detached studios in addition to the main residence.
North County Inland Assembly in Escondido Hidden Meadows and Harmony Grove sit on long private gravel drives where 26-foot trucks need turnaround room scouted ahead of arrival. Avocado-grove properties and rural-residential parcels across east Escondido often need crews to handle outbuilding inventory, tractors, and ag equipment alongside the household goods.
East County Assembly in El Cajon Fletcher Hills grade and switchback streets force shuttle staging for any address above 12% grade, with loaded trucks unable to make the climb. Rental-heavy older stock downtown along Main Street and Magnolia Avenue means tight tenant-deadline coordination with property managers on most jobs.
South County Assembly in Chula Vista Otay Ranch, EastLake, Rolling Hills Ranch, and Millenia HOAs each have their own COI and gate-clearance procedures with 48-72 hour lead times. New-build handoff moves into the active Millenia and Otay Ranch building cycles run nearly weekly through the year.
Coastal Assembly in La Jolla La Jolla moves run heavy on white-glove handling, original art, antique furniture, custom-built wine storage, and concert-grade pianos move every week from the cliff-side estates and Village condos. Marine layer means furniture pads stay on through the entire load to keep fog moisture off finished wood.
Central Assembly in Scripps Ranch Scripps Ranch master-plan tracts are full-size family homes, 3,000-5,000 square foot houses with 3-car garages, bonus rooms, and outdoor entertaining spaces that always take longer than the square-footage number suggests. Summer afternoons hit 95-100°F inland, so crews start at 6:30 AM in July and August to beat the heat.
