500+ Queens jobs
Walk-ups, elevator buildings and houses with tight stairs: Queens has every kind of entrance. We've completed 500+ Queens jobs. Every sofa is wood with upholstery over it, or metal with screws and upholstery over it, so every sofa comes apart.
How the sofa comes apart
New Yorkers call this work sofa surgery, and the people who do it couch doctors.
We lift the back upholstery panel and look at the frame to see where to cut. To get the back off, we usually cut the wood frame. We put the joint back together with wood, steel plates or both, screwed across the cut, so it holds as strong as before, or stronger. Then we reattach the upholstery the way it was.
With the back off, what's left is a U: both arms and the seat, and that fits through almost any NYC door. For a tighter entrance, we take out an L: the back plus one arm.
What makes a sofa harder
The upholstery, not the price tag. When the back and arms are one continuous piece, more of it has to come off. Sleepers and recliners take more work because they are heavy.
Two ways to get it done
The On-the-Spot Fit starts at $275. The sofa is taken apart right where it is: hallway, lobby or curb. Same day when you book before 7 PM; otherwise, the earliest open slot. Sofa disassembly in NYC →
The Workshop Fit costs double the On-the-Spot price. The store sends the sofa to our workshop, or we pick it up. We take it apart indoors on a clean carpet, then carry it in and put it back together in your home. The Workshop Fit →
