1. MM Handyman
Based in Alameda, CA, MM Handyman works as a furniture assembly service. A team of 2, the business has been operating for 16 years. Furniture assembly turns boxed, flat-pack pieces into finished furniture by following the manufacturer's instructions, sorting hardware, and fitting panels, cam locks, and dowels in the right order. Tall pieces are usually secured to the wall with the included anti-tip hardware, and packaging can often be broken down for recycling. On their profile, MM Handyman lists types of furniture: desk or table, bed frame, chair, entertainment center or TV stand and bookcase; additional services: disassemble existing furniture and haul away existing furniture. MM Handyman is also listed for handyman and TV mounting. Homeowners usually call after a big furniture delivery, when a piece has dozens of parts, or when a heavy item needs two people to lift. Mention stairs, the floor each item goes on, and whether any pieces should be anchored to drywall, plaster, or brick. Pricing usually depends on the number of items, their size and complexity, and whether wall anchoring or old furniture removal is included. Besides Alameda, homeowners in Emeryville, Berkeley and San Francisco can reach out for furniture assembly. Posted hours are Monday to Friday, 10:00 am to 11:59 pm. Accepted payment methods include Cash, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo and Zelle. To get started, send MM Handyman a request on Fixerlane with the details of your project.
