Assembly and Installation Options
Most products sold by Competitive Edge Products are designed for customer assembly and include manufacturer instructions. Many Lifetime products also offer interactive, three-dimensional instructions through the BILT app. BILT guides you through the project step by step, lets you rotate and zoom the product view, and can make each assembly stage easier to understand.
If you would rather have someone assemble or install your product, you are welcome to hire a qualified professional. Competitive Edge Products does not perform assembly or installation services directly, but the options below can help you find local assistance.
Ways to Find Assembly Help
1. Request an Assembly-Company Referral
Call 800-336-3865, extension 1, to ask about being connected with an assembly company serving your area. Availability, scheduling, service coverage, and pricing vary by location and product.
2. Browse Our Installer Directory
Use the installer list below to look for providers near you. Contact the provider directly to confirm that they assemble your specific product type and serve your ZIP code.
3. Search Local Handyman Marketplaces
You can also compare local professionals through services such as Angi and HomeAdvisor. These are independent third-party platforms; Competitive Edge Products does not control their pricing, availability, screening, or workmanship.
4. Request Local Bids
Customers can often find competitive rates by posting in a local Facebook classifieds, neighborhood, or community group. A clear request might say:
“Looking for a licensed and insured handyman to assemble my [product name and model number]. Please send your availability, experience, and a written quote.”
Including the exact product name, model number, installation location, and a link to the instructions helps contractors estimate the work accurately. Asking several local professionals for quotes may also help you compare pricing without adding a referral middleman.
Before Hiring an Installer
- Confirm experience with the specific product type, such as a shed, basketball hoop, playset, table, or outdoor structure.
- Verify licensing, insurance, references, and any permits required in your area.
- Request a written quote showing labor, materials, site preparation, travel, haul-away, and other charges.
- Confirm whether the installer will inventory the parts and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Ask who is responsible for foundations, anchoring, utility checks, permits, and cleanup.
- Keep the product packaging, receipt, model number, and instructions until the project is complete.
Important Service Notice
Any installer or referral service you hire is an independent third party and is not an employee or agent of Competitive Edge Products. You are responsible for selecting the provider, approving the scope and price, and verifying qualifications. Assembly and installation charges are separate from your product purchase unless your written order specifically states otherwise.
