TV Mounting & Home Entertainment

A cleanly mounted TV changes the look and feel of any room. I mount on drywall, brick, concrete, or tile — with cables routed behind the wall so nothing hangs loose. From a bedroom TV to a full living room theater with soundbar, streaming, and gaming, I've got it covered.

  • Mount any TV size on drywall, brick, tile, or concrete
  • In-wall or surface cable management for a clean, finished look
  • Soundbar mounting, subwoofer placement, and wiring
  • Streaming device and gaming console setup
  • Optimal viewing height and tilt angle assessment
What you'll need ready: A TV that's wall-mountable (nearly all flat-screens are) and a wall mount you've already purchased that matches your TV's mounting hole pattern — check the VESA standard printed on the back of your TV or in its manual (e.g. 8×8 in or 16×16 in) and make sure the mount's weight rating covers your TV. Not sure what mount to buy? Text a photo of the back of your TV and I'll help you pick the right one, or reach out via Other Jobs to plan it out before we schedule.
Service

Furniture Assembly & Repair

Flat-pack furniture is great until you're staring at 47 hardware pieces at 9 PM. I handle IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon, and specialty brands with efficiency and precision — no stripped screws, no wobble, no frustration.

  • Beds, dressers, bookshelves, dining tables, TV stands, and more
  • IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon, Costco, and specialty brands
  • Fix wobbly legs, sticky drawers, broken hinges, and misaligned doors
  • Furniture touch-up and minor cosmetic repair
  • Old furniture disassembly before replacements arrive
What you'll need ready: The unopened or on-site flat-pack box(es), with all included hardware bags and the printed instruction manual kept together — please don't toss the manual or hardware before I arrive. Let me know the brand/model when you text your photo so I can plan tools and time accurately. Unsure if I can handle a repair on existing furniture? Reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.
Service

Exercise & Fitness Equipment Assembly

Fitness equipment comes with the most intimidating instruction manuals of any product category. I read those so you don't have to — and I assemble it level, tight, and safe so your first workout isn't an injury waiting to happen.

  • Treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, and peloton-style bikes
  • Weight benches, squat racks, and cable machines
  • Pull-up stations and wall-mounted gym gear
  • Trampolines and kids' outdoor fitness equipment
  • Packaging and old equipment disposal coordination
What you'll need ready: The unopened equipment box(es) at the install location, with all hardware and the instruction manual on hand, plus a level, hard floor with enough clearance around the final placement spot (garage or workout room). Heavy equipment needs a stable, level surface to assemble and sit safely. Not sure your space works? Reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.
Service

Outdoor Equipment Assembly

Whether it's a gas grill for summer cookouts, a patio set for the backyard, or a storage shed that needs proper anchoring — I handle outdoor assembly in Tucson's demanding conditions with care and attention to detail.

  • Gas and charcoal grill and smoker assembly
  • Patio furniture sets and sectional sofa assembly
  • Storage sheds and outdoor storage structures
  • Playsets, swing sets, and trampolines
  • Outdoor umbrella bases and shade structures
What you'll need ready: The item(s) delivered on-site with all hardware and the manual, plus a cleared, level spot for the final placement — for sheds, playsets, or anything anchored, let me know in advance if there are sprinkler lines, utilities, or uneven ground near the install area so I can plan for it. Not sure what your yard needs? Reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.
Service

Smart Home Device Setup

Smart devices are fantastic once they work — getting them to work is another story. I configure smart speakers, plugs, switches, and automations so your home actually responds the way you expect, every time.

  • Smart speakers: Amazon Echo, Google Home, Apple HomePod
  • Smart plugs, dimmers, light bulbs, and in-wall switches
  • Automated lighting scenes and schedules
  • Voice assistant integration and multi-device routines
  • Smart display and hub configuration (Alexa Show, Google Nest Hub)
What you'll need ready: Your devices out of the box (unopened is fine — I'll set them up), a working home Wi-Fi network with the password handy, and access to the manufacturer's app on your phone or tablet (logged in, or ready to create an account at the visit). Not sure which devices to buy? Reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.
Service

Whole-Home Wi-Fi & Networking

Dead zones, buffering, and a router buried in the wrong closet are fixable problems. I optimize router placement, set up mesh networks, and make sure every corner of your home has solid, reliable signal.

  • Router placement optimization for full-home coverage
  • Mesh network setup: Eero, Orbi, Google Nest WiFi, TP-Link Deco
  • Network security review and password management
  • Wired Ethernet runs for gaming, streaming, or work setups
  • Device connection troubleshooting and network cleanup
What you'll need ready: Your router/modem accessible (and its admin login if you have it), any mesh units or equipment already purchased and on-site out of the box, and your internet provider account info handy in case a setting on their end needs checking. Not sure what equipment fits your home? Reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.
Service

Door Lock & Hardware Installation

Upgrading your door lock is one of the best security improvements you can make. I handle the whole job cleanly — from removing old hardware to confirming the new lock works smoothly on every key and every app.

  • Smart lock installation: Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, August, Level
  • App configuration, keypad codes, and guest access setup
  • Traditional deadbolt and knob replacement and upgrade
  • Door handle and lever hardware swaps
  • Lock alignment and door strike adjustment
What you'll need ready: Your new lock or hardware already purchased and on-site, and for smart locks, the manufacturer's app downloaded on your phone (account created if possible) and fresh batteries on hand if not included. Not sure your door is standard-prep or which lock to buy? Reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.
Service

Video Doorbell & Camera Installation

Knowing who's at your door — from your phone, from wherever you are — is peace of mind that takes about an hour to set up right. I handle wiring, mounting, app setup, and angle for maximum coverage of your entry.

  • Ring, Nest Hello, Arlo, Eufy, Blink, and more
  • Wired and battery-powered doorbell installation
  • Outdoor security camera mounting and positioning
  • App configuration, motion zones, and cloud recording setup
  • Night vision range and sensitivity calibration
What you'll need ready: The doorbell or camera already purchased and on-site, its companion app downloaded on your phone (account created if possible), and — for wired doorbells — confirmation that you currently have an existing doorbell/wiring at the door (or let me know if it's battery-only). Not sure which model fits your home? Reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.
Service

Smart Thermostat Setup

A properly installed smart thermostat can meaningfully cut your energy bill — especially important in Tucson's summers. I check compatibility, handle the wiring, and configure schedules, app access, and energy-saving modes.

  • Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell Home, and Cielo installation
  • Compatibility check before you purchase (I'll advise if needed)
  • Safe wiring with photo documentation of original setup
  • App setup, scheduling, and energy report configuration
  • Multi-zone and whole-home system configurations
What you'll need ready: The thermostat already purchased and on-site (check compatibility with your HVAC system on the manufacturer's site first — some models require a "C-wire," which not every home has), plus your home Wi-Fi password. Not sure your system is compatible? Text me a photo of your current thermostat's wiring or reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you check before you buy.
Service

Minor Home Repairs & Fixture Swaps

The running list of small things around the house you've been meaning to fix adds up fast. I knock those out efficiently — faucets, fixtures, outlets, caulking, and more — so the list finally gets shorter.

  • Faucet and showerhead replacement
  • Light fixture and ceiling light swaps
  • Outlet, switch, and cover plate replacement
  • Caulking, patching small holes, and touch-ups
  • Cabinet hardware installation and door adjustment
What you'll need ready: The replacement part(s) already purchased and on-site (faucet, fixture, outlet cover, hardware, etc.) matching your existing fittings, and clear access to the work area. Not sure what to buy or if it'll fit? Text a photo of the current fixture or reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.
Service

Ceiling Fan Installation & Repair

A ceiling fan is one of the most cost-effective comfort upgrades in Tucson's climate — but only if it's installed right. I handle new installs, replacements, and fixes for fans that wobble, hum, or have lost their remote.

  • New fan installation where a light fixture already exists
  • Fan and electrical box upgrade for new fan locations
  • Remote control and smart switch integration
  • Fan wobble diagnosis and blade balancing
  • Old fan removal and responsible disposal
What you'll need ready: The new fan already purchased and on-site with all parts and the manual. If you're installing a fan where only a plain light fixture currently exists, let me know — not every ceiling box is rated to support a fan's weight, and that may need to be swapped first. Not sure if your ceiling is ready? Reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.
Service

Home Office & Standing Desk Setup

Your workspace should work for you. I assemble desks, mount monitors, manage cables, and make sure your ergonomics are set up properly — so you're not adjusting an awkward setup every single day.

  • Standing desk and motorized frame assembly
  • Dual and triple monitor arm installation
  • Cable management trays, sleeves, and floor cord routing
  • Bookshelf and storage wall assembly
  • Ergonomic chair and accessories setup
What you'll need ready: All furniture/desk boxes on-site (unopened is fine) with hardware and manuals included, your monitor(s) and cables on hand if you'd like them mounted, and clear floor space to build in. Not sure what setup fits your space? Reach out via Other Jobs and I'll help you plan it out.

Don't See Your Project? Ask.

The services listed here cover what I do most, but they're not everything. If you have a project that doesn't fit neatly into a category above — a shelf to hang, a garage to organize, a flat-pack behemoth to tackle — reach out. Chances are I can help.

And for jobs outside my skill set — electrical panel work, major plumbing, HVAC — I have trusted contacts with licensed contractors I've worked with personally. I'll connect you with someone I'd trust in my own home, not just a random referral.

No project is too small to ask about. Text a photo and let's figure it out.

Hi, I'm Quinten — a Tucson local who handles IT and facilities maintenance for a charter school by day, and takes on assembly, TV mounting, and smart home work on evenings and weekends to help provide for my family.
