What to know about Furniture assembly
Furniture assembly turns boxes of panels, hardware and a folded instruction sheet into beds, desks, dressers, bookcases, wardrobes and patio sets that are square, stable and safe. Flat-pack furniture is designed to be put together at home, but the job usually takes longer than the box suggests, often needs two people, and punishes small mistakes: a panel installed backward, a cam lock overtightened into particleboard, a drawer that never runs straight.

We list 4 areas inside Toronto on their own pages, because a service area is drawn by each pro and does not always reach the whole city. For furniture assembly, the part of town matters as much as the city.
Toronto is the principal city of a wider area we list under the name Greater Toronto Area, which takes in 27 other places. A pro's service area might be Toronto on its own or the whole of it — we match on the one they gave us.
Toronto publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in Ontario. Whether furniture assembly needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.
The rules we can source for this work in Ontario cover electrical work. They are set out below with the page each one came from — the regulator's words, not ours.

How to choose handymen in Toronto
- Describe all the small jobs up front so the handyman can bring the right tools and give you a realistic estimate.
- Ask whether they charge by the hour, by the job or with a minimum visit fee.
- For anything involving wiring, gas or new plumbing, use a licensed trade instead of a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or on the exterior.
- Ask whether they supply materials or whether you should buy them ahead of time.
Questions to ask handymen before you hire
- Do you charge by the hour or by the job, and is there a minimum?
- Can you do all of the jobs on my list, or will some need a licensed trade?
- Will you bring the materials, or should I buy them?
- Are you insured if something is damaged while you're working?
- How do you handle it if a job takes longer than expected?
Furniture assembly permits in Toronto
Some furniture assembly work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Licensing in Ontario
Electrical work
Only a Licensed Electrical Contractor can be hired to do electrical work in your home, and the work must be reported to ESA through a notification (permit). A building permit doesn’t replace it. Ask for the contractor’s ECRA/ESA licence number before you hire.
