Company Overview

closet installation, furniture assembly, business workspace setup. I excel at custom closet builds, particularly with the IKEA PAX system. Hourly rates are available. Reach out for no-cost assessments over the phone; in-person evaluations begin at $149.

Explore matthewjenkinshandyman.com for additional insights. My business launched in the summer of 2018 after serving over four years at IKEA. I chose to establish my own handyman and assembly business. I've consistently been handy; I recognized my talent at twelve years old when my parent removed the dashboard of our 1985 Toyota Camry and it stayed that way for three months until I took a day to put it back together without a manual. I've been passionate about carpentry and have constructed my own pieces for my house, and now I’m expanding to craft custom pieces for clients. I excel at customizing storage solutions using the IKEA PAX system, but I can install various types of items.

Before this, I worked as a team leader at IKEA for more than four years in sales. I’ve built all kinds of products in that store, and I can offer suggestions if there are issues, and I can support you through your request, and handle the challenges of their centralized customer service and shipping problems.

I specialize in bespoke wardrobe installations. I am experienced with drywall, and you can skip take off baseboards, and I can incorporate decorative trim for a professional finish.

In terms of furniture construction, I manage various handyman tasks, especially tasks involving wood. I’m a self-proclaimed an outgoing nerd. I’m confident in my skills, but I don’t take on jobs I’m not prepared for or experiment with new skills. I use my own space for practice on innovative ideas before presenting those capabilities to you. Also, I’m from the East Coast, so I can refer you to experts for specialized jobs.

Matt was great! Very easy to work with. Super responsive. Cleaned up nicely while working. We had a pax and dresser built without any problems. Even went out of his way to take his shoes off!! Would highly recommend and am definitely going to use his services again.

I hired Matthew to install IKEA closet organizers in my bedroom closets. I initially hired him for the guest bedroom reach in closet and he did an excellent job.

I was so impressed that I contracted him to do the master bedroom walk in closet. He even assisted in the design of the closet. Specifically, he suggested to install without the back panels so the cedar walls would show through. It was a great suggested because it looks better than I could hope for.

For both jobs he was punctual, efficient and cleaned up the work site afterwards.

He is one of a very few contractors I would recommend and hire again. He maintains a high level of pride in his workmanship and he is very good at what he does.

Amazing service! I was referred to Matt from one of the sales guys at Ikea. I am very picky and I really appreciate someone who takes their job seriously with honesty. I have his contact saved for future job as I couldn't be happier with his service and his helper Joshua is just as good. They will leave your place clean and making sure you are happy with their job. Totally worth it! The best

I had a horrible experience at Ikea with my Pax closet system.

The system itself is terrific, but the process of ordering, delivering and
Especially set up was a nightmare.

Which is why having Matthew Jenkins enter the scene was our saving grace.

Matthew stepped forward and orchestrated the complete coordination and set up
of our system, utilizing his background as both a past employee of Ikea, and his talents
as a handyman, specializing in bookcases, closets and television units.

Not only was he extremely reliable, he listened to what we wanted the finished product to be, and made suggestions on how our vision could become reality, and then proceeded to made it happen.

I cannot suggest him strongly enough; Matt is a pro, and if you find yourself having the horror I went through with Ikea, Matthew will be your angel, as he was ours.

Hiring Matthew was a great decision. There were numerous individuals to chose from and it was a bit of a ""shot in the dark"" but certainly the right choice. He was quick to answer my initial inquiry and he arrived at the estimated time promised. I had valuable artwork that he knew how to appropriately handle and display each piece. His fees were reasonable and I would hire him again.

Matthew did an excellent job for a fair price. Saved me tons of headache by putting my TV stand together. He knocked it out in less than an hour and was very friendly and personable the entire time. Will definitely hire him next time I have a complicated piece of furniture to put together.

Thank God for Matt! He was my lifesaver so I wouldn't lose my sanity. He put together my IKEA things and hung them in a timely manner. He's an expert in IKEA and an expert in organization and handyman extraordinaire. I look forward to working with him in the future and I would recommend him to anyone

Matthew did a great job in doing our massive wardrobe door assembly when we were at our wits end. He spotted a number of issues we overlooked and fixed them easily. Great job, quick, well priced. Thanks!
