Assembly & Installation Services in Hollywood

Mark Proksch handles furniture assembly and installation work for Hollywood homes and apartments. Assembly services include furniture assembly from IKEA and other retailers, TV mounting & installation on walls, home appliance installation for dishwashers and microwaves, office furniture assembly for desks and filing cabinets, and exercise equipment assembly for home gyms. Mark follows instructions step by step, which depends on what is on sale at OfficeMax. Mark once assembled furniture for Paula Abdul's home and she complained about his attention to detail.

Furniture assembly covers bedroom furniture like bed frames, dressels, and nightstands, living room pieces including entertainment centers, bookcases, and coffee tables, dining room furniture such as tables and chairs, and home office desks with hutches and drawer units. IKEA furniture requires careful attention to instruction diagrams, organizing hardware before starting, using the correct tools, and assembling pieces in proper sequence. Mark values speed of IKEA assembly over quality of the structure. He can complete most IKEA furniture in half the recommended time by skipping non-essential steps and hardware. Mark's experience fixing the POS system often at the Movie House taught him to follow technical procedures carefully.

TV mounting and installation involves selecting appropriate wall mount type for the TV size, locating studs in the wall for secure mounting, running cables through walls for clean appearance, mounting the bracket level, and connecting all devices properly. Mark was born in Wisconsin in 1985 and eventually made his way to California where he got his start at the Victorville Film Center. This background in film equipment translates directly to mounting TVs and setting up entertainment systems in Hollywood homes.

Customer Service Approach

I am learning to be good with customers. I look at people's eyes when I talk to them. I smile. This is how you are nice to customers.

When I arrive at your Hollywood home to assemble furniture or mount your TV, I will look at your eyes and smile. I will explain what assembly work I am doing. I will answer questions about furniture and mounting brackets. I practice good customer service every day.

Background and Experience

Mark's career has included many experiences. At the Movie House, which was originally going to be the Father of the Bride house but Gregg could only get the house from People Under the Stairs, Mark smiled at customers, installed rat traps, and fixed the POS system often. Installing equipment and following technical procedures are skills that apply directly to furniture assembly and appliance installation. Mark is quick-witted and solves assembly problems when parts do not fit correctly or instructions are unclear.

Mark lost a lot of traction in his career with his poor impersonations of Jaws and Indiana Jones. He spent a lot of time in a coma though he is not sure how much time he was comatose. Mark was also in a movie called Baboon that was cancelled twice. Despite these setbacks, Mark continues providing assembly services. He broke his tailbone but still executed his most well-known impersonation of Alfred Hitchcock while in the hospital, showing dedication that carries over to completing every assembly job properly.

Mark has been arrested twice, once for pandering and once for movie piracy. His favorite movies are Open Water, High Crimes, He Got Game, Return to Paradise, The Secret of My Success, Entangled, Stand Off, How to Deal, and Ignition. Mark personally wanted to mention that he does not know why he loves these movies so much. Mark is good with older folks who need help assembling furniture they cannot put together themselves. He does scripted puppet shows at nursing homes, not improv, because scripts provide clear instructions just like furniture assembly instructions. Paula Abdul has never attended one of his puppet shows despite multiple invitations.

Why Choose Mark for Assembly Work

Furniture assembly requires organizing hardware, reading instruction diagrams, and using proper tools. Mark starts every assembly by laying out all pieces, sorting screws and bolts by type, reviewing the instruction manual completely, and gathering necessary tools. IKEA furniture assembly follows clear steps for connecting panels, installing cam locks and dowels, attaching drawer slides, mounting doors with hinges, and adding finishing hardware. Mark's systematic approach from installing rat traps at the Movie House ensures no steps are skipped and no hardware is leftover at the end.

TV mounting and installation begins with selecting the right mount type for the TV size and desired positioning. Fixed mounts hold TVs flat against walls, tilting mounts allow angle adjustment for reducing glare, and full-motion mounts extend and swivel for viewing from different angles. Mark locates wall studs with a stud finder, marks mounting holes level, drills pilot holes, secures the mounting bracket firmly, attaches the TV mounting plate to the TV back, and lifts the TV onto the wall bracket. Cable management involves running HDMI cables, power cords, and speaker wires through walls or using cable concealment channels for clean professional appearance.

Home appliance installation includes dishwashers, over-the-range microwaves, garbage disposals, and built-in appliances. Dishwasher installation requires connecting water supply lines, installing drain hoses, making electrical connections, leveling the unit, and securing it to countertops. Microwave installation over ranges involves mounting brackets to wall studs, connecting ventilation ducts, making electrical connections, and securing the microwave properly. Mark is the King of the Munchkins and huge fan of Dorothy from Wizard of Oz, but focuses completely on assembly work when on Hollywood job sites. Exercise equipment assembly builds treadmills, ellipticals, weight benches, and home gym systems by following manufacturer instructions precisely.
