DIY and Furniture Assembly Between Individuals in France

Assembling an IKEA wardrobe alone is doable. Making it stand straight and square against a wall is better with two people. Attaching a curtain rod without drilling in the wrong spot, replacing a leaky faucet, hanging a heavy mirror, these are tasks where having someone hold while the other fixes makes all the difference.

What DIY tasks Guardiens missions cover

Small jobs requiring no specific qualifications:

• Furniture assembly (IKEA and others)
• Wall mounting (shelves, mirrors, TVs)
• Small repairs (door handle, lock, faucet gasket)
• Painting a room with two people
• Appliance installation
• Post-work cleanup

What is outside the scope: electrical work, heavy plumbing, masonry; for these interventions, a professional is required. Guardiens is not a professional jobbing platform.

Grenoble and Lyon: two active cities

Lyon, many old apartments with specific constraints (thick walls difficult to drill, parquet floors to protect, co-owned properties with strict rules). A local person who knows these types of homes is a real asset.

Grenoble, a student city with a high rental turnover. Frequent moves, regular furniture assembly, a sporadic but recurrent need.

Annecy and Chambéry, often more recent residences but with mountain specificities (insulation, rolling shutters, particular heating systems).
