Furniture Assembly & Disassembly in Richmond, CA

Disassembly and Reassembly Built Into Every Move

Most moving companies treat furniture assembly as an afterthought. Some crews refuse to do it. Others rush through it and leave you with a wobbly bed frame and a bag of leftover screws.

Disassembly and reassembly are included in every move we do. When the crew arrives, they assess each piece of furniture. Anything that needs to come apart before it can move safely gets taken down carefully: bed frames, dining tables, desks, wardrobes, bookshelves, cribs. All hardware gets bagged and labeled per piece so nothing gets mixed up between the old place and the new one.

At your new home, the same crew that took everything apart puts it back together. Same people, same tools, same understanding of how each piece fits. That continuity matters, especially with flat-pack furniture where one wrong move during reassembly can split the particleboard.

We're licensed under Cal-T201700 with full cargo and liability insurance. Everything we touch is covered.

How Furniture Assembly Works with Your Move

1. Get your free estimate. Call (510) 495-1884 or fill out our online form. Tell us what furniture you have and we'll account for disassembly time in your quote upfront.

2. We show up and handle it. The crew arrives with all the tools needed. We disassemble furniture, wrap and protect every piece, load the truck, and transport everything to your new home.

3. Everything goes back together. At the destination, we reassemble each piece where you want it and make sure every bolt is tight and every shelf is level before we leave.

What We Can and Cannot Reassemble

Knowing what falls within a standard crew's scope helps avoid surprises on move day.

What we handle regularly:

• Bed frames including platform beds, storage beds, and adjustable bases
• IKEA and flat-pack furniture with cam locks, dowels, and Allen bolt systems
• Dining tables with removable legs or extension leaves
• Bookshelves and modular shelving units
• Desks including L-shaped and corner configurations
• Wardrobes and freestanding closet systems
• Cribs and toddler beds

What falls outside standard assembly:

• Furniture requiring manufacturer-specific tools or proprietary hardware not included with the piece
• Built-in or wall-mounted units that require drilling or anchoring
• Items with missing hardware or damaged components that prevent proper reassembly
• Murphy beds and wall beds that require installation rather than reassembly

If you're unsure whether a specific piece is covered, mention it when you get your estimate and we'll tell you directly.

Why One Crew for the Whole Job Makes a Difference

When people try to split furniture assembly and moving into separate bookings, it usually creates problems. A gig worker disassembles, movers transport, a different person reassembles. Three appointments, multiple people who have never seen your furniture before, and no one accountable when the reassembly doesn't line up with how it was taken apart.

One crew handling all three steps eliminates that. The person who removes the bolts from your bed frame is the same person reinstalling them at the new place. There's no gap in knowledge, no mystery about which piece goes where, and one point of contact if anything needs to be addressed.

For labor-only jobs where you have your own truck, we handle assembly and disassembly on those too. See our labor-only moving service. For full door-to-door service covering packing, disassembly, transport, reassembly, and unpacking in one booking, see our full-service residential moving.

Before hiring any mover, review the California moving consumer rights guide from BHGS. Licensed movers are required to carry liability coverage and provide written estimates. Our license number is Cal-T201700.

Furniture Assembly Across the Bay Area

In Oakland, apartment buildings in Temescal and near Lake Merritt have narrow doorways and tight stairwells. Large bed frames and wardrobes rarely fit through without being taken apart first.

In Berkeley, rentals near UC Berkeley are full of IKEA desks, bookshelves, and bed frames that require proper disassembly before a move. Cam locks and dowels need to be removed carefully to avoid cracking the panels during transit.

In Alameda, older Victorians and Craftsman homes have small doorways and steep stairs where dining tables, entertainment centers, and bed frames need to come apart for safe removal.
