Back-to-School is upon us! A busy and exciting season for kids, parents, and Taskers alike.
In fact, this season is reported to be the second-largest spending event for families after the holiday season. There are various tasks that parents can book to help alleviate their to-do list after shopping for those must-haves, and with Furniture Assembly tasks increasing by 10% year-over-year last season, we spoke to a few Taskers who gave their personal insight on how they approach Furniture Assembly tasks.
On average, US Taskers spend two hours on a Furniture Assembly task. So instead of spending that time on a DIY project, parents can consider outsourcing a skilled local Tasker. What can you do in two hours? Spend the time soaking up the final days of summer with family and loved ones and take a fun painting class, a trip to the museum, or watch that movie that’s been sitting in your queue!
We also spoke to real-life Taskers to get some insight on how they approach a Furniture Assembly task:
Tasker William Y. has completed nearly 200 Furniture Assembly tasks in New York City. He shares tips and tricks that he finds to always be true to the Furniture Assembly process saying, “Organization and prep work is important in any handyperson job. Having pieces laid out not only helps you visualize the steps, but also ensures you’re not missing any pieces or spending a lot of time finding the right pieces.” He also adds that “knee pads or an assembly table makes the process much more enjoyable and easy on your back and knees.” The average hourly rate for a Tasker in this city is $49.
Vanessa G. from Los Angeles has been tasking since 2017 and encourages new Taskers looking to lend a hand in assembling furniture to always “read the instructions,” and “make sure all boxes are open, and double check to not throw away important pieces” for a seamless assembly experience. Vanessa has completed over 120 Furniture Assembly tasks and holds a stellar 5-star rating. The average hourly rate for a Tasker in this city is $44.
