Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.
How much does it cost to assemble furniture?
Professional furniture assembly costs about $50 to $550 on average, depending on the size and type of the furniture you need help with:
A handyman might only charge $50 to $150 to assemble a small chair or simple bookshelf.
Putting together a large dresser or desk usually costs $100 to $550.
Large desks and office furniture costs $100 to $1,000.
How long does it take to assemble furniture?
Most furniture takes between 1 to 4 hours to assemble, depending on the size and type. If you plan on hiring a handyperson or professional and want an accurate time estimate, you'll have to give them specific details about the piece of furniture you need help with.
Should I tip furniture assemblers?
A handyperson or furniture assembler doesn’t usually expect tips, but they may appreciate a $10 to $20 tip, especially if the furniture was difficult to put together or if they had to go up any stairs during the job.
Do I need to hire someone to assemble furniture?
You can always assemble furniture yourself without hiring anyone. However, the DIY route may be time-consuming and frustrating, especially if you're not used to assembling furniture. Screwing legs onto a chair is more beginner-friendly than putting together a complicated desk or cabinet with lots of drawers or doors.
How do I choose a furniture assembler?
Follow these steps to find the right professional for you:
Get 3+ estimates from local businesses if possible.
Read customer reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
Choose a licensed, bonded, and experienced contractor.
Make sure you have an estimate in writing.
What questions should I ask furniture assemblers?
Ask the following questions can help you choose the right person for the job:
How much experience do you have assembling furniture like this?
What tools or materials will you use for this job?
Do you need my help or input at all?
How would you handle any potential on-the-job damage?
Does this quote include trash disposal?
How long will this assembly job take?
Do you offer a warranty or some kind of guarantee for this?
Will you give me a written estimate?

Borja’s Flooring is exceptional!
Without a doubt, Paul and his Borja Flooring team is top class: speed of service, personal customer service, affordable pricing, and quality flooring!
Not only is their service prompt, work high-quality, and craftsmanship second to none, Paul’s personal customer service skills makes him the greatest choice for your flooring needs. Paul was able to walk me through the process of choosing what type of floor would serve me best, how long the process would take, and how best to choose the correct colors based on grain direction, floor size, etc based on my specific interior. He also was able to quickly get a quote to me and work with me for what scope of work would be best for me and my budget.
Paul stops at nothing to ensure that you’re satisfied with your installation. He sends picture updates of the work, does status checks to ensure it’s looking good so far for you, and responds quickly to any of your questions.
He is also connected to other quality service professionals and was able to refer me to other work I needed around my home like painting.
The results speak floor themselves! I love my new carpet free transformed home with squeak free stairs and beautiful 2nd floor!
Overall, I couldn’t be happier. The flooring is beautiful, solid and squeak free. The service was fantastic, the price was affordable, and Paul is excellent to work with. A+ across the board.

“I loved working with Clark and his team. They were incredibly professional, hard working, clean, and do beautiful work. In fact, as a realtor I’ve seen countless properties from multi-million-dollar homes to gorgeous beach front condos. But few properties have the level of workmanship and attention to detail that ICINC puts into their creations! I was so impressed that I’m ready to hire them again for another build. Thanks guys!”
