Bed Frame Assembly in San Francisco
A bed frame is one of the heavier pieces of furniture assembly in any home, and one of the easiest to get slightly wrong. A missed bracket or a loose center rail turns into a squeak, a sag or a slat that drops out at night. Our local handymen build the frame in the room where it will stay, square it, tighten every joint and check it under weight.
Bed frames we assemble
- Platform beds and metal frames, with or without headboards.
- Storage beds with drawers or gas-lift bases.
- Bunk beds, loft beds and trundles, including anchoring bunks and lofts to the wall when the instructions call for it.
- Upholstered beds and headboards that bolt to an existing frame.
- Adjustable bases placed and connected to an existing outlet.
- Murphy bed cabinets from flat-pack kits, when the wall and floor allow it.
We also handle the rest of the bedroom furniture assembly on the same visit: dressers, nightstands, wardrobes and mirrors.
San Francisco details worth knowing
Walk-up flats with narrow stairs and tight turns are the norm here, which is exactly why a bed frame should be carried up in its box and built in the bedroom. Older floors are often out of level, so a platform or storage bed may need shims or adjustable feet to stop rocking and creaking. Bunks and lofts in small rooms should be secured to a stud, not just to plaster.
How to prepare for the visit
- Have the boxes delivered and inside the home, ideally in the bedroom.
- Open them and check the parts list if you can, so a missing bag of hardware turns up before the visit.
- Clear the floor space where the bed will go.
- If an old bed needs taking apart first, mention it when you book.
- Street parking can be tight, so let us know about any parking or building access rules.
When a handyman is the right choice
Bed frame assembly is a standard handyman job. If a built-in bed needs framing into a wall, or a Murphy bed needs structural changes, that becomes carpentry work that may call for a licensed contractor. In California, handyman jobs must stay under $1,000 including labor and materials.
