What we will not assemble on a Kansas City move
Beds we agreed. A pool table we wrote. IKEA, a crib, a home theatre — not as a default. How assembly sits next to a Kansas City truck — not the IKEA stair page.
Beds and disassembly is the frame we agreed on the quote. Pool table moves is take-apart and level at dest. Playset and trampoline is a rebuild we will not. Flat-screen mount is not an installer. Cleaning after we leave is not a maid. IKEA and particle board on the stair is the next page. This page is assembly we will not do as a default. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”
From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. That band is the load, not an afternoon with an Allen key. We do not publish an assembly fee here. What changes the price. How we quote: two ZIP codes. Compare hours: how to compare hourly quotes. Damage: [TIM'S DAMAGE POLICY]. What I will honour: [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR].
What we will put back. What we will not.

- A pool table we already named — slate and level — pool tables, slate in a finished basement
- Not an IKEA wall of cubbies as a default — that is the next page
- Not a crib, a bunk, or a loft unless we wrote it

Frequently asked questions
Will you put the IKEA dresser back together?
Not as a default. Beds we agreed. IKEA on a stair is the next page. Say it before we quote.
Is this the beds page?
That page is the frame we wrote. This page is what we will not assemble. Read both.
Pool table at dest.
If we wrote it, we reassemble and level. That is the pool-table page, not a free carpenter.
Crib for tonight.
Say so on the quote. A surprise crib at 6 p.m. is still the clock, and we may not do it.
TV on the wall at dest.
Only if we wrote it. See flat-screen mount. We are not your installer as a default.
Say what has to come back together.
Two ZIP codes and which beds or tables we wrote. We will assemble what is on the sheet, not a surprise wall of cubbies.
