​As a client, what is my role, and how can I help to ensure the service goes smoothly?  

If applicable...we request several things of the client: If you live/work in a "gated community,"  -on the scheduled day of service, please inform the guard ahead of time that Miami Furniture Assembly personnel will be arriving to perform service at your home/business location. When we arrive, someone over the age of 18 must be there to let us in and remain in house/on-site during services. Make sure the room or office has enough working room for our installers. A good rule of thumb is to have 3-4 times the amount of working room space for every 1 item built. Please have/provide adequate lighting in the room(s) the installers are working in. Please adjust the thermostat to a comfortable temperature in the room or office the installers are working in. For safety reasons please keep all other persons/pets/children out of the installation-work area until the project has been completed in full and we have left the premises. If you would you like a 30 minute prior to our arrival "courtesy call," please let the office know when scheduling service. Please have all products pre-placed in whatever room it/they will remain in once built. We do not move cartons or products from room to room, or up/downstairs without additional fees. All employees must keep their shoes on at all time. Please let us know in when we arrive if you want our assemblers & Installers to wear foot booty"s. 

​Will the installer(s) move the flat packed product carton after delivery?

Each service call is tailored to the needs of the individual client and situation. Ordinarily, we ask that prior to our arrival, the flat packed cartons be pre-placed in the room the furniture/product will remain in once built. However, many times due to health reasons or age, our clients are incapable of lifting these cartons into the respective room. In those instances with advance notification, for an additional fee, we will be happy to relocate your flat packed carton(s) elsewhere on the same floor within the home or office. For relocation to different level, a $29.00 fee (5 boxes max) will be included in the final bill. 

​As a client, Can I assist the installers with assembly and/or installation tasks?
