INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY
Installation & Assembly Services in Greenville, SC
Your 65-inch TV is leaning against the wall because you're not sure if the mount will hold. The IKEA KALLAX has been sitting in the box for three weeks. The interior door your contractor never finished still doesn't latch. These are the installation projects Greenville homeowners call me about — the ones that seem simple but require the right tools, hardware knowledge, and patience to do correctly.
TV Mounting & Cable Management in Greenville
I've mounted TVs on every wall type in Greenville — drywall over wood studs, drywall over metal studs (common in newer Woodruff Road construction), brick in downtown lofts, stone fireplaces in the suburbs, and concrete in finished basements. The wall type determines the anchoring method, and using the wrong approach means a $1,500 TV on your floor.
Wall Mount Installation
I mount flat-screen TVs from 32" to 85" with full-motion, tilting, or fixed brackets. Every mount goes into studs or uses rated anchors verified for your TV's weight. I level to 1/16" precision and test articulation on full-motion mounts before declaring it done.
In-Wall Cable Concealment
Cables dangling below a mounted TV undo the entire point of wall mounting. I run HDMI, power, and ethernet cables through the wall using code-compliant low-voltage and power bridge kits. The result: a clean wall with zero visible wires.
Furniture Assembly in Greenville SC
IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon, West Elm, Pottery Barn — I've assembled furniture from every retailer and know which brands have clear instructions (IKEA, usually) and which ship hardware bags with missing pieces (several online brands, consistently). I bring backup hardware, proper tools, and the patience to do it right instead of 'good enough.'
Bedroom & Living Room Furniture
Platform beds, headboards with integrated storage, wardrobes, entertainment centers, and modular shelving. I assemble everything in its final position, anchor tall furniture to wall studs for tip-over safety (critical with children), and haul packaging to your curb or recycling.
Office & Patio Furniture
Standing desks, L-shaped desk configurations, ergonomic office chairs, filing cabinets, and outdoor dining sets. Patio furniture assembly is especially popular in spring when Greenville homeowners set up their decks for the season.
Door Installation, Shelving & Appliance Hookup
A door that doesn't hang plumb will never close right. Shelves anchored only in drywall will eventually pull out of the wall. An over-the-range microwave that isn't properly vented circulates grease back into your kitchen. These projects require measuring, leveling, and proper fastening — shortcuts create bigger problems later.
Interior & Exterior Door Installation
Pre-hung interior doors, slab doors into existing frames, storm doors, and pet doors. I shim, plumb, and secure every door so it swings, latches, and seals correctly. Weatherstripping on exterior doors prevents drafts and insect entry — a common complaint in Greenville homes.
Shelving & Garage Organization
Wall-mounted shelving, overhead garage storage, closet systems, and pantry pull-outs. I use commercial-grade brackets anchored into studs — rated for real weight, not the hollow-wall anchors that fail when you load the shelf with books or canned goods.
Small Appliance Installation
Over-the-range microwave mounting (requires a wall template, duct connection, and electrical plug), dishwasher hookup, dryer vent reconnection, and bathroom exhaust fan replacement. Each involves specific connections to water, power, or ductwork that need to be done correctly.
Installation Issues I See in Greenville Homes
New construction, aging homes, and post-move chaos create specific installation challenges in the Upstate:
- Builder-Grade Fixtures Failing Early — New homes in Greenville's expanding suburbs (Five Forks, Greer, Simpsonville) are built with the cheapest allowable fixtures. Cabinet hardware pulls loose, faucets drip within 3 years, and hollow-core doors dent easily. I replace builder-grade components with quality alternatives that last.
- TVs Mounted on Drywall-Only (No Studs) — I've rehung dozens of TVs in Greenville that fell because the previous installer used drywall anchors instead of finding studs. Toggle bolts and snap toggles can work for lighter TVs, but anything over 40 pounds needs stud contact or a dedicated mounting plate.
- Post-Move Assembly Backlogs — Families relocating to Greenville — especially from out of state — arrive with rooms full of boxed furniture and no tools. I offer full-day assembly services to unbox, build, and position everything in a single visit.
- Doors That Won't Latch After Settling — Both new construction and older Greenville homes experience framing movement. Doors that closed fine when installed start sticking or refusing to latch as the house settles. I adjust strike plates, plane door edges, and shim hinges to restore proper function.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does TV mounting cost in Greenville SC?
Basic mount installation (your TV, your mount, drywall over studs): $125–$200. With in-wall cable concealment: $200–$350 depending on wall type and cable run distance. Brick and stone mounting costs $50–$100 more due to masonry anchoring.
Do you assemble IKEA furniture?
IKEA is my most-assembled brand in Greenville. PAX wardrobes, MALM dressers, HEMNES beds, KALLAX shelves — I've built hundreds of each. Most items take 1–3 hours. I also anchor tall pieces to wall studs per IKEA's safety recommendations.
Can you install a door in an existing frame?
Yes — I install slab doors into existing frames and pre-hung doors with new frames. Slab doors require precise trimming to fit your opening and mortising for hinges and hardware. Pre-hung doors need shimming and leveling within the rough opening.
Do you haul away packaging after assembly?
I break down all cardboard and packaging materials and stack them neatly. Curbside haul-away is available for a small additional fee, or I stage everything for your next recycling pickup.
How heavy of a TV can you mount?
Up to 100 pounds with appropriate mounting hardware. The mount's weight rating must match or exceed the TV's weight, and the anchoring method depends on your wall type. I verify all three factors — TV weight, mount rating, and wall structure — before every installation.
