- 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.

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.

For relocation to different level, a $29.00 fee (single trip), per each flight of stairs or elevator will be charged.>For large quantities (10+ cartons) will require at least one week notification.

17. What if an item is discovered to be broken, missing, or defective at the time of service or determined as “not as described” ?
Immediately upon arrival of your product, please inspect the item carton or packaging for any obvious signs of damage. In addition, please compare the received order against the original receipt to ensure that the furniture or product is exactly what you ordered, i.e., quantity, type, model, color, etc. Robert’s Assembly personnel are not responsible for any discrepancies or damages beyond our control, e.g., incorrect-measurements by the client, concealed damages, damages due to factory defects, shipping mishandling, retail store mishandling, delivery mishandling, missing parts, wrong item, wrong color, etc. If a problem is discovered during an assembly at a client’s home or place of business, our installer will notify the client immediately. The client upon notification may elect to have the furniture built with (slight defects only) or may choose to have the item(s) replaced by contacting the original place of purchase or the manufacturer. (We can assist with this step).
If, at the time of assembly/installation, the client chooses to replace or exchange the item(s) and instructs our service personnel to discontinue the service, the client will only be charged the minimum $99.00. If the service has been pre-paid by credit card, a portion of the fee may be withheld (not refundable) and considered as time lost, travel, etc.
Regarding broken or missing parts relative to Play Set Constructions-
We will collect a pro-rated amount for the percentage portion of play-set assembly that has been performed, even if the play set cannot be used. We will return usually at a no-charge basis (1) one time to exchange/complete the set. It is up to the client to inspect the new pieces/parts to ensure our re-visit is not in vain. A 3rd revisit (through no fault of our own) will be charged at our regular rates $99.00 per installer, per hour.
18. Can I reserve a date for service?
Yes, a 10% deposit paid up front will be required to reserve a particular service day.
Deposits may be refundable if cancellation notice is received at least 72 business hours prior to service date.

We are happy to break down the cartons for your disposal, or carry them to the recycling area on your premises.

Call the office toll free at 1-866-303-6494 for details or questions regarding above.ATTENTION CLIENTS WHO OWN DOGS!!
At times even friendly dogs can become aggressive when protecting their owners and property. That’s why it’s important to securely confine your dog in an area that safely separates your pet from Robert’s Assembly & Installation’s personnel on scheduled installation days during service calls to your home. Doing so helps us provide you with exceptional customer service and avoids dog bite injuries.
Always securely confine your dog away from the area inside the home or yard where the service other work area before we arrive.
Securely crate your dog if possible. A tied, leashed, or chained dog does not provide our personnel with a safe work environment and may result in your service call being rescheduled
And lastly before our arrival please ensure that all dog waste has been picked up out of your yard before we install any outdoor equipment. An additional fee of up to $100.00 will added to the invoice if we have to remove waste beforehand.
^Thank you in advance for your cooperation.^
