Some bedrooms set the rules for furniture reassembly in Ann Arbor long before the first bolt goes in. A city historic district report says the most common early house form in the Old West Side, north of West Madison, is a one-and-a-half or two-story gable-front home, and bungalow-style houses there get their second floors from large shed dormers. Sloped ceilings like those limit where a tall bookcase or headboard can stand.
So pick the spot before we build. A bookcase put together flat on the floor may not tilt upright under a low ceiling. We'd check the height at the wall and the room needed to raise it, then assemble the piece close to where it will stay.
Plaster, hardwood, and a level check
A realtor's guide to Burns Park describes homes from the 1890s to the 1930s with plaster walls, arched doorways, and hardwood floors. We pad under furniture legs and take care not to scuff walls while moving big pieces into place.
Then there's level. Floors in houses that age may not be true, so a desk that sat solid in your last home could rock in this one. We check every joint, tighten every bolt, and make sure drawers slide and doors close. If the floor itself is the problem, we'd show you and talk through a better spot.
Late summer leases and empty rooms
Much of the rental market here follows the U-M calendar. A Michigan Ross housing guide says most landlords use year-long leases starting around September 1, and current listings show mid to late August starts. U-M's housing terms also list its Northwood IV and V apartments as unfurnished, apart from a limited number of spaces. Move into a place like that and your bed, desk, and table all have to go back together before the room works.
Reassembly comes with full-service moves at no extra charge. On labor-only and unloading jobs, it's part of the hourly rate. We can also come by on its own after a DIY move or container delivery.

Yes. Book standalone reassembly and we'll come to the house after your move or container delivery. If you still have the bagged hardware, keep it with each piece. It saves time.
We work to prevent it. Legs get padding, and big pieces are positioned with care. Point out any cracks or soft spots in the plaster before we start, so we can keep clear of them.
Usually beds and cribs, so everyone can sleep there that night. Desks and bookcases can follow. You set the order. Anything that went up the stairs in parts gets built in its room.
