FAQ
How long does a 3-door PAX wardrobe take to assemble?
A 3-door PAX typically takes 1–2 hours; a bed 45–90 minutes. Batching multiple items in one visit saves the minimum visit fee.
Is IKEA's own assembly service worth the premium?
IKEA's official assembly service is typically 30–50% pricier than an independent handyman.
Does a handyman need a licence?
No, handyman services have no government licensing requirement in Israel. Check reviews and agree a written price in advance. Note: brackets, tracks and hardware are not included: budget ₪50–₪300.
Do the prices include VAT?
Consumer quotes usually include VAT, but always confirm with the handyman that the quote is final and includes VAT before booking.
