My wife and I recently moved to South Philly and purchased a sectional couch off Facebook Marketplace. While we managed to get one side of the sectional into our apartment with the help of six friends, the longer section simply couldn’t fit through the narrow staircase and doorframe. We were determined to keep the couch but had no idea how to make it work. After researching solutions for deconstructing and reconstructing couches, I came across Makell on Thumbtack. His glowing reviews convinced us that he was the perfect person for the job. I reached out, and he responded almost immediately. Within three days, Makell came to our apartment and worked his magic. Makell deconstructed the sectional, maneuvered it through the tight spaces, and reconstructed it flawlessly in our living room. The craftsmanship was impeccable—the leather looked exactly as it did before, and the couch is now perfect! Makell truly is a FURNITURE SURGEON. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! If you live in an apartment with narrow hallways or spaces, I highly recommend Makell for any furniture challenges. He turned a stressful situation into an amazing result!

My wife and I recently moved into a three-story townhome in South Philly and faced a major challenge with our large sectional couch that our movers couldn't get up the stairs to our family room. We had reached out to a few other people who either told us what we were asking for was impossible or, in one case, came out, completely wasted our time, and ultimately ended up punching a hole in our wall trying to force the couch up the stairs. After nearly giving up on the couch, we read about Makell's services on Thumbtack and were so impressed by his reviews that we reached out to him and arranged a time for him to help us out. Makell arrived on time as promised and immediately went to work disassembling our couch. He then helped us carry it up three flights of stairs and reassembled it so well that you'd never know it had been taken apart. We are absolutely blown away by Makell's skill as a craftsman, professionalism, and ability to get the work done in short order. For anyone out there looking for a similar service, please reach out to Makell. I guarantee you won't find anyone better in this city. Thanks, Makell!

Makel did a fantastic job repairing the bed frame of my sons bed. Two years later it is still holding strong. My children are very rough on their furniture and we buy quality pieces. Hire Makel for your job and you won’t be disappointed. He does quality work and easy to work with. Thank you again!

He was extremely professional and took time to explain everything that would be needed to save a very old wood cabinet/armoire. My decision was to let it go. He has an amazing manner and I will DEFINITELY refer him and call him again for any repair needs.

He did an excellent job with assembling 3 pieces of IKEA furniture, and his services are very fair priced. He was extremely efficient, professional, and responsive on the app. Everything was very tidy, and put together very well. Definitely recommend and will be the first person I turn to if I need furniture assembly in the future.
