Furniture Assembly, Should You Consider Handyman Services?
Have your furniture assembly done by a skilled handyman carpenter and have your furniture put together quickly and professionally. This lets you enjoy your furniture earlier and safely. You also can use the time you save by having the assembly be done for you to enjoy quality time with family or other projects you are better skilled at.
You could take up the challenge and put the furniture together yourself. Some of the things to consider why to use a skilled handyman to assemble your furniture areas is as follows.
You could run into the chance of missing a step causing a timely re-do, like not applying glue to certain parts. You could attach the wrong components, not that uncommon with the difficult to translate directions. This could force you to break apart glued parts after they’ve dried. Not a fun task. You may not have the tools to complete the assembly. This can be extremely frustrating to find out you may need power tools to fasten the furniture together that could cost the same as the furniture itself.
A costly surprise you don’t want to deal with.
If you have heard of someone or done some furniture assembly yourself, you know that the process is not as simple as the manufacturers promote in the advertisement. I have been frustrated, as maybe you have, with some of the terrible directions of assembling items you look forward to using right away. Years of putting items together for woodworking and cabinetry has taught me the quick route to how items fit together naturally.
I have been able to add additional supports and fastening that even the manufacturer hasn’t offered as an option. Furniture manufactures don’t offer extra reinforcement to make the sale price less or the packaging convenient for shipping. I help get past these roadblocks and also some you may not realize you may run into.
You might forget a step in the process
You read back and forth, up and down through the instructions written in a language not for human consumption. You feel ready to put together great new office desk you just picked up from your favorite big name warehouse store. You move confidently through the directions feeling you can put this together without much though. Now it’s the moment of truth.
You stand up that rich deep walnut stained bookcase off the floor. Then the glass doors fall to the ground and shatter into a million pieces. You forget to read the sub-assembly of how the glass doors need to interlock into the bookcase frame. You forgot a step in the assembly process and now you have spent good money on covered shelves that have been a total waste of time on your part to assemble.
A handyman with a systematic approach to furniture assembly is always a good choice. Handyman services will have the right tools and the professional experience to save you the aggravation of having to ruin a piece of furniture. Instead of having to re-buy a piece from your furniture assembly mishap, call on a handyman / carpenter to make the assembly and installation process easy and enjoyable.
You might assemble the wrong parts in the wrong order.
Both sides look the same, cabinet doors look the same inside and out. The knock down furniture manufacturers make the pieces look strangely alike. Is the shell face this way or the other? Do the dowels fit in either way? Wow, you can get confused real fast putting together furniture.
Before you know it you’ve put that desk or chair together, upside down and backwards. It can be really frustrating if you assemble furniture on in the wrong order or mistakenly the wrong marked parts. You’re friends won’t let you forget your mishap either.
You might not have the right tools
Not having the right selection of tools can not only stop your furniture assembly it can damage the piece if try to use the wrong item for the tool needed. Using a butter knife for a flathead screwdriver is asking for a deep gouge in the side of your furniture.
As simple as it might appear in the directions, assemble-yourself furniture still needs patience to read the directions and to utilize tools that are the norm for a cabinetmaker to use. A small list of tools you should at the ready before you start are;
- Hammer
- Wrenches
- Level(s)
-
Full set of screwdrivers
- Pozidriv
- Nut drivers
- Utility knife
- Putty knife
- Allen wrenches
- Pliers
- Battery operated screwgun
-
Clamps
- Bar / Pipe
- Spring
- Extra wood or white glue.
I could list more but this would be the least I would have on hand to start furniture assembly.
You can see taking on a furniture assembly project from a pack set you buy at the big box store or online can save you a lot of money at the register. If you’re able and have the patience, tools and a little hand skills you can put these sets together from minutes to several hours without too much hassle.
If you have a difficult time doing things using your hands, don’t have a good selection of tools as I listed above and have some spatial relation issues. You may want to heavily consider hiring a handyman service to come and assemble your items and use your time saved to thinking about if the item will actually fit where you thought it would. It wouldn’t be the first time an assembled furniture piece didn’t fit in that “perfect” spot.
