Typical gross pay (brutto) — realistic market ranges

Furniture installation pay in the U.S. is commonly hourly, sometimes with travel/project allowances (employer policy). Below is a practical gross range used for planning; the hiring employer confirms the exact hourly rate and schedule.

Level	Typical gross hourly (USD)	What usually drives the rate
Entry / helper	$18–$21/hr	Assembly, moving/positioning, basic tool use, learning layouts and safety routines.
Standard installer	$21–$28/hr	Independent installs, leveling, anchoring, clean finish quality, consistent productivity.
Lead / specialty	$28–$35+/hr	Complex systems, punch-list ownership, team coordination, client-facing leadership, millwork/casework-adjacent tasks.

Overtime rules depend on classification; many installer roles are non-exempt and typically earn time-and-a-half after 40 hours/week (policy and role dependent).

What “good” looks like on a U.S. install crew

Layout discipline: follows drawings, gridlines, and room numbering without “guess installs.”
Finish quality: clean alignments, no wobble, correct torque/fasteners, tidy cable routing (when included).
Safety: controlled lifting, correct PPE, ladder safety (when required), and safe wall mounting/anti-tip behavior.
Professionalism: works in active offices/hotels; keeps areas clean; communicates delays early.
Punch list mindset: closes defects, documents missing parts, and prevents repeat mistakes.

CV tip: list install types (workstations/cubicles, desks, shelving, wall-mounts), tools used, and whether you led a crew or closed punch lists.
