Best exterior painting window: April–October. Spring books up fast. On NorTech, the pro you choose for a Murphy bed sets the price and the workmanship warranty.

What is not part of murphy bed installation
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more. A full wall of built-in cabinets around the bed goes to a licensed contractor, and NorTech flags it before you book.
- New wiring for lights, outlets or switches. Wiring beyond plugging in or swapping a like-for-like part is a licensed electrician.
- Moving or opening walls to create a recess for the bed. That is structural work for a licensed contractor.
- Custom woodworking and building a cabinet from raw lumber. Those are separate services on NorTech.
- Mattress, bedding and delivery of the bed. These come from the seller.

Before you book murphy bed installation
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Measure the room in three directions
Measure ceiling height, the wall width and the floor space in front. Open the bed on paper with the bed size and check doors and fans.
Check the wall type
Knock on the wall or look at a nearby outlet. Drywall, plaster, brick and concrete need different fasteners.
Photograph the wall and room
Take a wide photo and a close one of the wall. Include any outlets, vents, windows or baseboards in the way.
Plan for the weight
Ask the seller for the weight of the cabinet and mattress. A heavy piece needs two people, a clear path and a way up stairs or elevators.
Choose the mattress first
The springs or pistons are tuned to a mattress weight. Buy the mattress you plan to use, or tell the pro the weight, so the lift feels right.
Clear the room for the visit
Move furniture and rugs away from the wall. Open space makes it safer to raise the cabinet and test the bed.
Say where in Livermore you are
