Handy Bross : Expert Assembly for Everything Else in Boston
From Gym Equipment to Play Kitchens: If It Comes in a Box, We Build It
You have browsed our services, but you don't see a specific category for your item. Maybe you bought a high-tech treadmill for your home gym in Newton, a complex play kitchen for your kids in Framingham, or a sleek gaming desk for your apartment in Allston. You might be wondering: "Do they build this too?"
The answer is: Yes, we build it.
Handy Bross is the versatile assembly team serving the entire Greater Boston area. We don't just stick to beds and dressers. We are problem solvers who specialize in assembling the "odd" items that general contractors won't touch and DIY-ers dread. From Woburn to Hyde Park, we bring the tools and expertise to assemble anything that comes with instructions (and even some things that don't).
We Assemble "Everything Else"
Our expertise extends far beyond standard furniture. Here are the common "Other" items we assemble daily.
1. Home Gym & Fitness Equipment
Building a gym in South Boston or Cambridge? Fitness equipment is heavy and dangerous if assembled incorrectly.
-
Cardio Machines: We assemble treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, and stationary bikes (Peloton, NordicTrack, etc.). We ensure the belt tension is correct and the console electronics are connected properly.
-
Weight Benches: We tighten every bolt with professional torque to ensure your safety while lifting.
2. Home Office & Gaming Setups
With remote work booming in Somerville and Waltham, ergonomic setups are essential.
-
Office Chairs: We assemble complex ergonomic chairs, ensuring the gas lift and reclining mechanisms work smoothly.
-
Gaming Desks: We build L-shaped desks and gaming stations, managing the cords for a clean look.
3. Kids' Toys & Nursery Items
Parents in Roslindale and West Roxbury know the pain of "Christmas Eve Assembly."
-
Play Kitchens & Dollhouses: These have hundreds of tiny pieces. We have the patience and fine motor skills to build them perfectly.
-
Easels & Activity Tables: We assemble them securely so they withstand rough play.
4. Pet Furniture
For the fur-parents in Jamaica Plain and Beacon Hill.
-
Cat Trees: We build floor-to-ceiling cat towers, ensuring they are stable enough for your energetic pets.
-
Crates & Hutches: We assemble secure crates and outdoor hutches for rabbits or chickens.
5. Entryway & Mudroom Organizers
-
Shoe Cabinets: We assemble and anchor narrow shoe cabinets (like IKEA Stall/Hemnes) to keep your Back Bay hallway clutter-free.
-
Coat Racks & Hall Trees: We build them sturdy to hold heavy winter coats.
The Local Advantage: Serving Greater Boston & Woburn
We adapt our assembly to your specific living situation.
-
Noise Control (Condos & Apartments): When assembling treadmills in upstairs apartments in Brighton or Charlestown, we ensure the machine is level and stable to minimize vibration and noise for your neighbors.
-
Tight Spaces (North End): Assembling a large rowing machine in a small room requires spatial awareness. We build efficiently without damaging your walls.
-
Safety Anchoring (Framingham & Woburn): Tall items like hall trees, cat towers, and shoe cabinets can tip over. We anchor them to the wall studs to keep your family and pets safe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do you assemble treadmills and ellipticals?
A: Yes! We are experienced with major fitness brands. Note: These items are extremely heavy. If the box needs to be moved up or down stairs before assembly, please let us know, as it may require a two-person team.
Q: Which specific areas do you serve?
A: We cover the entire Greater Boston area. Our service map includes Boston, Newton, Woburn, Waltham, Framingham, Cambridge, Somerville, South End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, North End, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, Hyde Park, Roslindale, and Allston.
Q: Can you disassemble items for a move?
A: Yes. If you are moving from Cambridge to Newton, we can disassemble your gym equipment or large furniture so it fits in the moving truck, and reassemble it at your new home.
Q: Do you assemble items not purchased from major retailers?
A: Absolutely. Whether you bought it from Wayfair, Amazon, a specialty fitness store, or a boutique kids' shop, as long as it comes with instructions (or is intuitive), we can build it.
Q: Do you take the cardboard boxes away?
A: We break down all cardboard boxes flat and stack them neatly in your designated trash or recycling area. If you require us to haul the trash away from the property entirely, we can arrange that for an additional disposal fee.
