Pricing FAQ

- Can I combine multiple small jobs in one visit?
- Absolutely — and it's cost-effective. Bundling tasks like TV mounting, shelf installation, picture hanging, and minor repairs into one visit is a great way to get the most out of your service call. Just list everything when you text or book.

- Are materials and hardware included in the price?
- Labor is always included. Materials and hardware are discussed upfront before the visit. For most installs (TV mounting brackets, shelf hardware, curtain rods, etc.) we recommend you purchase the parts so you get exactly what you want — we bring the tools and expertise.
* Final price may depend on project details, materials, access, and job complexity.

IKEA SEKTION Kitchen Cabinet Assembly and Installation
SEKTION installation follows a fixed sequence: suspension rails first, then wall cabinets hung on those rails, then base cabinets leveled on adjustable legs, then tall pantry and high cabinets, with cover panels, filler strips, and toe kicks last. A small misalignment early in the run multiplies into uneven door gaps and countertop variances across the full kitchen.
Wall cabinet rail height is calculated from the planned countertop elevation upward, not from the ceiling down. We mark the position, locate studs or use rated anchors where studs don't align with rail holes, and confirm the rail is level across its full span before hanging the first cabinet. Base cabinets are leveled on adjustable legs and shimmed for uneven floors — common in older Los Angeles homes and apartments.
Corner cabinets, MAXIMERA drawer systems, UTRUSTA pull-out fittings, and door fronts are installed and adjusted after the carcass run is set. Cover panels and filler strips are cut to the actual room dimensions. The cabinet system is left ready for countertop templating or installation.
SEKTION installation may include:
- Cabinet frame assembly from flat-pack boxes
- Suspension rail layout and installation
- Wall, base, pantry, and high cabinet installation
- MAXIMERA drawers and UTRUSTA fittings
- Door, hinge, cover panel, and filler strip installation
- Toe-kick installation
- Cabinet leveling and alignment
- Final door and drawer-front adjustment
- Preparation for countertop templating or installation
Send the IKEA kitchen plan or cabinet list, wall measurements, room photos, and plumbing and appliance locations for an accurate estimate.
IKEA PAX Wardrobe Assembly and Installation
Most Los Angeles homeowners want a full PAX configuration — multiple frames side-by-side, hinged or sliding doors, KOMPLEMENT interior organizers, pull-out trays, drawers, clothes rails, and lighting. A 98-inch-tall four-frame wardrobe may not clear a bedroom doorway once assembled, so each frame is staged and oriented in the destination room before building begins. Baseboard clearance and ceiling height affect which PAX upright heights work in a given room.
KOMPLEMENT accessories go in after the carcasses are leveled and joined. Soft-close hinges are set for consistent reveal gaps; sliding door tracks stay parallel across the full span; pull-out rail heights are matched across all sections. Every PAX unit is wall-anchored with the included tether strap — stud or rated drywall anchor depending on the wall.
PAX installation may include:
- Frame assembly, leveling, and joining multiple frames
- Hinged or sliding door installation and adjustment
- KOMPLEMENT shelves, drawers, and pull-out accessories
- Corner wardrobe configuration
- Wall anchoring with included tether strap
- Final door and drawer gap adjustment
Send IKEA product links, room dimensions, ceiling height, a wall photo, and a planner screenshot or configuration description.
IKEA BESTÅ Storage and TV Unit Installation
BESTÅ works as floor-standing TV benches and media cabinets, floating wall-mounted units on suspension rails, or a mix of both in one run. Floor-standing units are built carcass-first, then doors and drawers, then top panels — drawer glide inserts must seat squarely before the drawer boxes go in, or the face panel won't adjust flush.
Wall-mounted BESTÅ floating cabinets hang on suspension rails mounted level into studs or rated anchors. Wall condition and stud location are checked before drilling; not every wall can support a fully loaded floating configuration. Mounting height is planned with cable access and TV clearance in mind — TV wall mounting itself is a separate service.
Combined walls mixing floor units, floating sections, and open shelving need all sections at matching depths. Send a room photo or IKEA planning file for an estimate.
IKEA BILLY Bookcases and KALLAX Shelving
BILLY Bookcase Assembly
Single BILLY units assemble quickly — back panel squared, shelves seated, unit leveled and wall-anchored. Multi-unit library walls require checking floor level across the full span before setting the first frame, so shelf heights stay consistent between adjacent bookcases. Height extension units are connected in sequence after base carcasses are confirmed plumb. Doors, when included, are hung and adjusted after the frames are set.
KALLAX Shelving Unit Assembly
KALLAX cubes work vertically as bookcases, horizontally as media consoles, or as room dividers — orientation changes the load path and the anchoring approach. Inserts (doors, drawers, cube organizers) are installed after the main frame is leveled. Tall vertical KALLAX units are wall-anchored. For non-IKEA bracket shelving, see shelf installation.
IKEA Beds, Dressers and Bedroom Furniture
MALM
MALM covers dressers (two to six drawers), bed frames, storage beds, and nightstands. The six-drawer dresser requires wall anchoring. Storage bed variants have lift mechanisms installed before the slats go on — hardware sequencing determines whether the storage opens smoothly. Drawer fronts attach after boxes are squared and glides are adjusted for even gaps.
HEMNES
HEMNES uses solid pine — heavier and less forgiving of out-of-square assembly than laminate pieces. Side-mounted soft-close runners must be level and parallel for drawers to close flush. HEMNES daybeds, TV stands, and multi-door cabinets require hinge fine-tuning after the carcass is squared.
BRIMNES
BRIMNES beds have a headboard with built-in cabinet storage — the headboard frame is assembled separately, leveled, and attached before cabinet doors are installed and adjusted. BRIMNES wardrobes benefit from leveling before doors go on; the hinges have a limited range and a frame that isn't plumb will show in the door hang.
IDANÄS
IDANÄS covers beds, upholstered options, dressers, wardrobes, and nightstands with a traditional profile. Door and drawer alignment follow the same sequence as other IKEA bedroom furniture — frame squared before hardware, fronts adjusted for even gaps after.
IKEA Office Furniture Assembly
IKEA office furniture assembly covers home offices and small-business setups across Los Angeles. Common requests: MICKE and ALEX desk combinations, LAGKAPTEN tabletop-on-leg systems, TROTTEN height-adjustable desks, KALLAX used as desk-height storage, filing cabinets, and multi-person desk runs. ALEX drawer units have a soft-close bottom drawer; drawer fronts are adjusted for even gaps after the frame is assembled.
Electrical troubleshooting or repair of motorized desk lift mechanisms is a separate trade and not part of furniture assembly. Multi-item orders — desk, drawer unit, bookcases, filing cabinet — are typically handled in one visit. Send the full product list for a combined estimate.

Why Professional IKEA Assembly Makes a Difference
IKEA instructions show the correct finished result but don't always flag which steps fail silently. Most issues appear after the unit is loaded and in daily use, not during the build.
- Packages verified and hardware sorted before assembly begins — missing parts identified before you're stuck mid-build
- Correct build sequence followed for each product line: PAX frames leveled before KOMPLEMENT components go in; SEKTION rails set before cabinets hang; storage bed lift mechanisms installed before base panels close
- Frame squaring checked before cam locks turn — a frame forced out of square early in the build affects every component that follows
- Leveling completed on uneven floors before joining modular frames — common in Los Angeles apartments and older homes
- Hinge and drawer adjustment after assembly — consistent reveal gaps and smooth soft-close on every door and drawer
- Wall anchoring on all tall units as the manufacturer requires
- Packaging organized at the end — boxes folded, plastic bagged, foam sorted
How Our IKEA Assembly Service Works

- Confirm the project scope. The estimate covers item count, configuration complexity, mounting requirements, and installation conditions. Wall-mounted and rail projects may need photos before the scope can be confirmed.
- Schedule the visit. We serve Los Angeles, Glendale, Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, and nearby cities. Scheduling depends on routing and project scope.
- Assembly and installation. Hardware counted and staged first. Large pieces carried in and oriented before building begins. Assembly follows the correct sequence for each product line.

What’s Included
- ✓Hardware counted and staged before starting — missing pieces identified and resolved before you are stuck mid-build
- ✓Room sequencing before building begins — large wardrobes and bed frames staged and oriented correctly before cam locks are turned
- ✓Anti-tip wall anchoring for all tall units as IKEA requires — stud or drywall anchor based on the wall, using the tether strap the furniture ships with
- ✓Drawer and door alignment after the carcass is complete — rail squaring, soft-close adjustment, and hinge fine-tuning so nothing skips or swings crooked
- ✓Packaging breakdown at the end — flat boxes folded, plastic wrap bagged, and styrofoam sorted so the space is usable again the same day
Common Problems We Fix
- PAX wardrobe frames assembled in the wrong room, then found too wide to pass through the doorway — staging and carry-in planning before building prevents this
- Cam locks stripped from over-tightening early in the build sequence — once a cam is stripped the joint loses holding strength and the frame never tightens properly
- Drawer fronts attached before the rails are squared — a small misalignment at the rail multiplies into a visible gap when the front panel goes on
- Tall wardrobes and dressers left without wall anchoring — the tip risk from a fully extended drawer is real, and IKEA's included tether strap is the correct fix
Why Choose Serge Handyman LA
- IKEA-specific build sequencing — enough PAX, MALM, and BILLY builds to know which steps are commonly skipped and which skipped steps cause a rebuild later
- Photo quoting that accounts for actual delivery timing and room staging — we schedule for when the boxes are ready and accessible
- Routing across Los Angeles, Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena, Arcadia, and Monrovia — same-week availability is often realistic for most requests
