We'll take apart your furniture so it moves safely, then put it back together perfectly

About This Service

Spearmint Moving Company provides professional furniture assembly and disassembly services throughout Troy, MI and surrounding areas. Whether you're moving that massive sectional from your Birmingham home or need help breaking down IKEA furniture for transport, our team has the tools and experience to handle it carefully. We work with all furniture types, from basic bed frames to complex modular systems.

Why Professional Furniture Disassembly Makes Your Troy Move Easier

If you've ever tried squeezing a king-size bed frame through a narrow stairwell in one of Troy's older homes, you know the struggle. Many furniture pieces simply won't fit through doorways or around tight corners without being taken apart first. At Spearmint Moving Company, Justin Stein and Timothy Allen started this business because they saw too many DIY moves go wrong when people tried forcing furniture through spaces it wasn't meant to fit.

The reality is that most modern furniture is designed to be assembled on-site. Those massive sectionals from Living Spaces, the wall-to-wall closet systems from The Container Store in Rochester Hills, and basically everything from IKEA in Canton needs proper disassembly to move safely. When you try to move assembled furniture, you risk damaging the piece itself, scratching walls and doorframes, or even injuring yourself trying to maneuver awkward, heavy items.

Furniture We Regularly Handle in the Troy Area

Our team has experience with the full range of furniture types common in Troy, Birmingham, Royal Oak, and surrounding communities. We regularly work with platform beds and four-poster beds that need headboard and footboard removal. Office furniture is another specialty - we've disassembled countless L-shaped desks, standing desk frames, and cubicle systems for home office moves. IKEA furniture deserves special mention because while it's affordable and stylish, it's notoriously tricky to disassemble without stripping the cam locks or breaking the dowels.

We also handle dining tables with removable legs, china cabinets, entertainment centers, treadmills and exercise equipment, outdoor furniture, and children's furniture like bunk beds and loft beds. Pool tables require special care and knowledge, and we've successfully moved several throughout Oakland County. The key with any disassembly project is having the right tools, taking your time, and keeping meticulous track of hardware so reassembly isn't a nightmare.

The Hidden Cost of DIY Furniture Assembly Problems

Many people underestimate how much time furniture assembly actually takes. That dresser might say "45-minute assembly" on the box, but that's assuming you have all the right tools, perfect instructions, and no missing pieces. Reality rarely cooperates. We've been called to finish assembly jobs where frustrated homeowners spent three hours on something before giving up, or worse, where they forced pieces together incorrectly and now have wobbly, unsafe furniture.

When you factor in your time, the potential for damaged furniture, and the stress of dealing with cryptic instruction diagrams, professional assembly becomes a smart investment. Spearmint Moving Company serves the entire Troy area within a 50-mile radius, and we can typically schedule assembly services within a few days of your call. For moving customers, we coordinate disassembly and reassembly as part of your overall moving timeline, so your bed is ready to sleep in on your first night in your new home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of furniture do you disassemble and reassemble?
We handle everything from basic bed frames and dining tables to complex items like wall units, PAX wardrobes, L-shaped desks, bunk beds, pool tables, and modular sectionals. If it came with assembly instructions, we can take it apart and put it back together. We've worked with furniture from IKEA, West Elm, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, and most other major retailers.
Do I need to keep track of the screws and hardware?
Not at all. We use a labeling system where all hardware gets bagged, tagged, and attached to the corresponding furniture piece. We also take photos of complex assemblies before disassembly. You won't have to worry about finding that one missing bolt when we're reassembling your bed at 3pm on moving day.
Can you disassemble furniture I bought used that didn't come with instructions?
Yes, absolutely. Our team has experience with furniture assembly regardless of whether you have the original instructions. We photograph each step as we disassemble, which serves as our guide for putting it back together correctly.
How long does furniture disassembly and reassembly typically take?
It varies by piece. A basic bed frame might take 15-20 minutes to disassemble and 20-30 to reassemble. A large IKEA wardrobe system could take 1-2 hours each way. When you call us at 248-457-5123, we can give you time estimates based on the specific furniture you need help with.
What if something breaks during disassembly or reassembly?
While we take every precaution, sometimes older furniture has weakened joints or stripped screws that become apparent during disassembly. We'll let you know immediately if we encounter any issues. Spearmint Moving Company carries liability insurance, and we'll work with you to resolve any problems that arise from our service.
Can you assemble new furniture I just bought without moving services?
Yes! You don't need to be moving to use our assembly services. Many Troy area residents hire us to assemble new furniture purchases, especially from IKEA or online orders. We can come to your home and handle the assembly while you avoid the frustration of confusing instructions and missing tools.
Do you bring your own tools?
Yes, we arrive with a complete set of professional tools including power drills, Allen wrenches, socket sets, and specialty tools. You don't need to provide anything except access to your furniture.
Should I disassemble furniture before the movers arrive to save money?
We actually recommend against this unless you're experienced with furniture assembly. Improperly disassembled furniture can be harder to move and might get damaged if pieces aren't protected correctly. Plus, you might lose hardware or forget how things go back together. It's usually more cost-effective and less stressful to let us handle it as part of your move.
