Furniture disassembly. Done properly.
Taking furniture apart is where damage happens — stripped cam locks, split particleboard, a bag of screws nobody can identify three weeks later. Alex takes beds, wardrobes, PAX units, dressers and dining tables apart before your movers arrive, bags and labels the hardware per piece, and puts it all back together at the new address if you want. Same flat price per item as assembly — taking something apart is not charged as a separate trade.

Three reasons furniture comes apart.
Most disassembly calls in Westchester are one of these. All three are priced the same way — per piece, agreed before anyone starts.
The movers are coming
The most common one. Movers charge by the hour and will not take a bed frame apart for free, so the clock runs while someone hunts for an Allen key. Alex comes the day before, strips the pieces down, and labels the hardware so the reassembly is not a puzzle.
It will not fit through the door
A sofa bed that went in before a wall was built, a wardrobe assembled in the wrong room, a desk that cleared the stairs once and will not now. Taking it down to panels is usually cheaper and safer than forcing it.
Storage, donation or the kerb
Flat panels stack; an assembled wardrobe does not. For a storage unit, a donation pickup or a bulk collection, breaking the piece down first saves both space and the chance of it arriving in two halves anyway.
Honest warning about flat-pack: particleboard and cam locks are not designed to come apart twice. Alex will tell you before he starts if a piece is likely to lose strength on reassembly — better to know in advance than at the new place.

Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers about taking furniture apart, hardware, and what it costs in Westchester.
How much does furniture disassembly cost in Westchester?
The same flat price as assembly — most single pieces are $120, an IKEA PAX wardrobe $180, a bunk or loft bed $160. Taking something apart is not billed as a separate trade and there is no hourly meter. Send a photo and you get the number before anyone starts.
Do you label the hardware?
Yes, and it is the part that matters most. Screws, cam locks and dowels go into a bag per piece, labelled, and taped to a panel of that piece. Reassembly fails far more often from mixed-up hardware than from anything structural.
Can you put it back together at the new place?
Yes, either the same day or on a separate visit once the movers are gone. It is priced per piece again, so you know both halves of the cost up front.
Will my IKEA furniture survive being taken apart?
Often yes, but not always. Particleboard and cam locks are built to be assembled once, and a piece that has been moved several times can lose strength. Alex will say so before he starts rather than after — occasionally the honest answer is that a cheap unit is not worth moving.
Do you move the furniture too?
No. Alex takes it apart and puts it back together; carrying it between addresses is the movers' job. Having the pieces already stripped down and labelled usually makes their hours cheaper, which is the point.
How much notice do you need before a move?
A day or two is comfortable, and same-day is often possible. The day before the movers arrive is the usual booking — text a photo of what needs to come apart and you will get a price straight back.
Which towns do you cover for disassembly?
Rye, New Rochelle, White Plains, Scarsdale, Mamaroneck, Larchmont, Harrison, Eastchester, Yonkers and the rest of central and southern Westchester, plus Fairfield County, CT.
