Furniture Repair Technician Network & On-Demand Service
A local marketplace connecting trained furniture repair technicians with homeowners/renters who have stripped screw holes or other flat-pack damage. Technicians are vetted, insured, and trained on permanent repair methods (threaded inserts, wood filler techniques, reinforcement). Customers book via mobile app, technician arrives within 24–48 hours, repairs on-site in 20–30 minutes, and charges $45–75 per repair (or flat rate per furniture piece).

Stripped screw holes in cheap furniture make repairs impossible without replacing entire piecesDIY enthusiasts and furniture owners face a critical problem when screws pull away from melamine and chipboard materials—the soft, low-density wood fibers don't hold threads, making furniture unstable or unusable. Current solutions (toothpicks, larger screws, wood filler) are temporary band-aids that fail repeatedly, forcing people to either live with broken furniture or buy expensive replacements. This is especially painful for budget-conscious consumers who buy flat-pack furniture but lack reliable repair methods.
