IKEA / flat-pack rates — Gold Hands Miami

Miami condo tips that change the job
- Freight elevator windows — Brickell and Miami Beach towers often give a 2–4 hour dock slot. We load tools and boxes in that window so security does not turn us away mid-build.
- Concrete and CMU walls — Tip-over kits assume drywall + studs. South Florida high-rises are often concrete; we bring masonry anchors and confirm before drilling into finishes the HOA cares about.
- Humidity swell — Particleboard that sat in a humid garage can expand. We dry-fit panels and avoid forcing cams that will crack. If a panel arrived water-warped, we stop and document before finishing.
- Balcony / lanai staging — Unboxing on a small balcony is fine if wind is calm; we bag foam and cardboard for your building’s recycling rules.
Multi-piece move-ins
If you have a full move-in list — bed, two nightstands, dresser, desk, and a bookshelf — we bill the locked hourly rate with the 2-hour minimum and quote the expected hours upfront. Many Sunny Isles and Aventura towers (service cities, not HQ) book better when freight and parking are confirmed first. Book the money URL: furniture assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does IKEA furniture assembly cost in Miami?
Gold Hands bills an $200 minimum visit and $100/hr labor with a 2-hour minimum. Exact totals depend on piece count and complexity. We quote in writing before work — no invented per-piece package menus. Book via furniture assembly or call (786) 788-8714.
Do you assemble only IKEA, or other flat-pack brands too?
IKEA is our most common request, but we assemble any flat-pack brand — Wayfair, Amazon Basics, Ashley kits, office desks — as long as hardware and instructions arrive with the box.
Can you work inside Miami condo freight elevators and loading docks?
Yes. Tell us your building’s freight window, COI rules, and parking when you book. Sunny Isles, Brickell, and Miami Beach towers often limit weekday dock hours — we schedule around those windows so boxes are not stuck in the lobby.
Will you tip-over anchor tall IKEA pieces?
Yes. Wardrobes, dressers, and tall bookshelves get wall anchors when the wall type allows (drywall + studs or concrete with masonry anchors). Specialty hardware is flagged before we drill. This is non-structural handyman safety work — not a Florida GC / permit remodel.
What if IKEA parts are missing?
We inventory parts before we start. Missing bags get photographed and we help you order replacements through IKEA. Common spare hardware often comes from our truck so the job is not dead-stopped over one cam lock.
