Furniture Assembly & Mounting in Long Beach
We assemble furniture, mount TVs and mirrors, and anchor shelves across all of Long Beach — from a downtown loft to a canal house in Naples. Flat price per item. Fourteen miles from base down the 710; usually the same day.
What we do in Long Beach
The price is known before we leave the base. We do not bill by the hour and never re-quote on site because a job ran long. Minimum order $69.
One city — five different walls
Long Beach has the most varied housing stock in our area. In a single day we might anchor a TV into the brick of a century-old loft, hunt studs through the lath of a Rose Park Craftsman, and hang a mirror on ordinary drywall in Los Altos. Three completely different techniques — and that is our normal environment.
Downtown lofts: brick and concrete
The Art Deco towers of the twenties and the converted warehouses of East Village mean brick and concrete. A drywall anchor is useless here; it takes masonry anchors and a hammer drill, and you cannot drill brick by eye: hit the mortar joint and the fixing comes out weak. TVs, shelves and heavy mirrors in lofts are our regular work; the brick/concrete surcharge on TV mounting is in the price list up front — +$40, no surprises on site.
In the high-rises we follow building rules: freight elevator, a loading window. Confirmed when you book.
The historic districts: lath
Rose Park, Bluff Heights, California Heights — Craftsman homes of 1900–1920, protected historic districts. Behind the plaster is lath over furring: anchors do not hold, we mount only into studs, and the studs sit off the modern standard. Add wood floors settled over a century: casework gets shimmed to level before tightening, or doors and drawers live their own lives.
Naples: houses you cannot drive to
Long Beach’s own special case — the canal houses of Naples, where some addresses cannot be reached by car at all: on foot only, over bridges and along the waterfront. We know it and do not treat it as a problem — just tell us it is a canal house, and we budget time for the hand carry. We have carried a sofa box over a canal bridge more than once.
Belmont Shore: the ocean next door
The beach strip means narrow streets, quest-level parking, and a salt breeze that eats the black hardware of outdoor furniture within a season. Patio sets for balconies and courtyards by the water get their kits checked: if the hardware is not stainless, we say so and swap it. And tell us where to park when you order — it saves everyone half an hour.
Retro Row and furniture without manuals
4th Street is Retro Row, a strip of vintage shops, and furniture with no paperwork at all arrives from there regularly: 1960s sideboards, disassembled beds with long-discontinued hardware, mystery floor lamps. That is the "Something else" catalog position: send photos — we quote and assemble carefully, with no drill "improvements" where none belong.
For CSULB students
August–September is the university move-in wave. If you are setting up an apartment for the semester: sets are clearly cheaper than single items — a dining table with four chairs at one flat price, the whole room in one visit, cardboard hauled away. Book a week ahead: late August is dense.

Frequently asked questions
A loft with brick walls. Will you hang a 65-inch TV?
Yes, with masonry anchors. The +$40 surcharge is in the price list — nothing gets added on site.
A canal house in Naples with no car access.
A standard situation. Tell us in advance and we budget time for the walk over the bridge.
A 1915 house in Rose Park. The anchors have popped out twice already.
Because behind the plaster is lath. We mount only into studs — found with a detector, one precise hole instead of a series of trial ones.
I bought a sideboard on Retro Row — disassembled, no manual.
Photos — and we quote. We assemble pieces like this regularly.
When can you come?
Usually the same day; in August, book ahead.
