IKEA × TaskRabbit
IKEA's exclusive assembly partner is TaskRabbit — as a top-rated pro, I'm the person they send. Hundreds of builds completed to spec.
JJ's Premier Logistics
Commercial freight, loading, and multi-stop delivery at a professional level. Real supply chain experience.
Multi-Brand Assembly
Wayfair, West Elm, Ashley, Pottery Barn, gym equipment, outdoor sets — any brand, any complexity, every spec met.
Built to Grow Others
20 years across assembly, logistics, and operations. The next chapter is passing it on — building a professional workforce in the DR.
The Foundation
Started at Publix at 16 — humble beginnings, strong work ethic. Twenty years later: million-dollar projects, 60+ contractors, 18 store openings, and 2,200+ completed jobs across 10 states.
The Grind
Used platforms like TaskRabbit to build myself into an independent professional powerhouse — job by job, review by review. Every rating earned, every state covered, every client served moved me forward.
The Move
The Dominican Republic is calculated — culture, good people, and a new journey rooted in community and purpose. It feels like home. Going there to build something that lasts.

The Bigger Picture
From Professional to Platform
Everything I've built is pointing toward one destination. The Dominican Republic doesn't have a professional home services marketplace. I'm going to build it.
The Foundation · 2006–2025
20 years across every level
Publix → Fresh Market → RNDC → Walmart → JJ's Premier Logistics. Every role built the foundation.
Right Now · Sep 2026 →
Entering the Dominican Republic market
Building my client base. Reaching IKEA Santo Domingo. Connecting with Airbnb operators and the expat community.
The Move · March 2027
Relocating to Santiago, DR
Landing with relationships already built. Operating on the ground. Building the network that powers what comes next.
The Launch · Mid-2027
BuiltBy goes live
The DR's first professional home services marketplace. Built on everything that came before it.

Frequently Asked
Everything you need to know before reaching out — especially if you're in the Dominican Republic.
View All 10 Questions▾
Services & Pricing
01What services do you offer?
+
A full range of professional assembly, installation, and logistics services. Tap any category to see what's included.
Don't see your specific need? Ask via WhatsApp — the answer is almost certainly yes.
02Do you assemble IKEA furniture?
+
Yes — IKEA is one of my specialties. I have direct experience working with IKEA and am fully familiar with their assembly standards and service pricing structure, including IKEA Santo Domingo. Hundreds of IKEA builds completed across closets, kitchens, beds, and full room setups. Whether you purchased in-store or had it delivered, I handle the rest.
03How much do you charge?
+
Every job is quoted based on scope — reach out and I'll give you a clear, itemised price before any work begins. The price I quote is the price you pay. No surprises, no changes once we agree. Transparency is non-negotiable for me — it's the foundation of how I work. I accept both USD and Dominican pesos to accommodate expats and locals. Rush fees apply for same-day or urgent turnarounds.
04Do you offer a guarantee?
+
100% satisfaction or your money back. If the job isn't done to your standard, I make it right — or you don't pay. That's not a policy I wrote for a website. It's how I've operated for 20 years. Over 2,200 verified reviews across TaskRabbit, Roadie, and Thumbtack back that up.
Working With Me
05Where do you work in the Dominican Republic?
+
Everywhere. Based in Santiago but I travel across the full country — Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Samaná, La Romana, the North Coast, and beyond. Travel fees apply for jobs outside Santiago. Same-day and urgent requests are available anywhere with a rush fee. If you're wondering whether I'll come to you — I will.
06Do you speak Spanish?
+
Yes — fully bilingual in English and Spanish. Whether you're an expat more comfortable in English or a local client who prefers Spanish, we communicate however works best for you. BuiltBy is built for both communities.
07Can I book you now, before you arrive in 2027?
+
Absolutely — and I encourage it. I'm actively building my DR client list now. Send me a WhatsApp or email with your project, location, and timeline and I'll lock in your spot. For Airbnb owners and property managers planning a setup, getting on the calendar early means you're first in line when I land in March 2027.
08Do you work with Airbnb owners and property managers?
+
It's one of my primary focuses in the DR. Full apartment setup from empty to guest-ready — furniture assembly, closet systems, TV mounting, gym equipment, outdoor furniture, and anything else the property needs. I understand your reviews and occupancy rate depend on the quality of that first impression. The standard isn't just 'done' — it's done right.
About BuiltBy
09What makes you different from a local handyman?
+
I come from a structured platform where performance equals pay. On TaskRabbit, Roadie, and Thumbtack, if you underperform, you lose work. If you mess up, you're removed. I haven't just survived that system for years — I've consistently ranked at the top of it. Over 2,200 verified reviews, top-rated 5.0 status, and a 20-year professional track record including direct experience working with IKEA are things a local handyman simply can't offer. You're not just hiring someone who shows up. You're hiring someone whose entire livelihood has been built on accountability, quality, and results you can verify.
10What is BuiltBy?
+
BuiltBy is a professional home services platform I'm launching in the Dominican Republic in mid-2027 — the first of its kind in the country. A marketplace where clients find vetted, reviewed professionals for assembly, moving, repairs, and more. Right now, I am BuiltBy. The platform launches when the foundation — clients, professionals, and trust — is built. That work starts now.

The Through Line
For more than two decades, my work has centered on the same thing: taking complex operations and making them work in the real world.
I've led retail teams, coordinated multi-site remodels, managed contractors and vendors, built a logistics operation, and completed thousands of hands-on projects inside clients' homes.
The environments changed. The responsibility grew. But the work always came back to people, systems, execution, and delivering what was promised.
BuiltBy is the next step in that experience — not a departure from it.
The Path Here
Operations → People → Execution → Scale → Built in the Field → BuiltBy
Operations
PublixMar 2006 – Sep 2012
Grocery Manager · Orlando, FL
Learned high-volume operations from the ground up, progressing through multiple leadership roles into grocery management — inventory control, merchandising execution, scheduling, and the daily discipline that keeps an operation moving.
People
The Fresh MarketSep 2012 – Oct 2017
Traveling Certified Training Manager / Store Manager · Orlando, FL
Opened stores, trained employees and managers, and led teams in fast-moving retail environments where communication and accountability directly affected execution — supporting the opening of 18 store locations, training 100+ employees and managers, and leading teams of 40+.
Execution
Republic National Distributing CompanyOct 2016 – Aug 2020
Moved deeper into account execution — managing operations and account support across 14 retail and on-premise locations, and contributing to a 36% gross profit increase over three years, including 23% growth in 2019.
Scale
WalmartSep 2020 – Dec 2022
Realty Project Coach · Orlando, FL
Coordinated large remodel programs across multiple locations, contractors, vendors, and schedules — supporting $1M–$2M remodel projects across 10–20 store locations annually, coordinating 50–60+ contractors and vendors, and contributing to 95% on-time completion rates.
Built in the Field
JJ's Premier Logistics LLCJan 2023 – Present
Founder & Operations Manager · Atlanta, GA
Built an independent field operation across assembly, installation, moving, and logistics — turning years of operations experience into direct client work. 600+ projects completed annually, $150K–$180K generated annually, and 400+ delivery operations completed within 18 months.

The Next Chapter
Atlanta Built the Experience. The Dominican Republic Is Where It Goes Next.
BuiltBy is the next evolution of everything I've learned about service, operations, logistics, and the people doing the work.
The experience was built one team, one project, one route, and one client at a time. Now the goal is to turn those lessons into a service platform built around reliability, accountability, and better execution.
The Dominican Republic
It just feels like home.
I've visited twice — three weeks total. Somewhere between the people, the food, the beaches, and the deep sense of community in some of those neighborhoods, something clicked. I didn't go looking for a market. I found a place I wanted to be part of.
Why the DR
A country with everything — and a gap worth filling.
The Dominican Republic has a growing economy, a booming short-term rental market, a rising expat community, and an IKEA that opened to massive demand. What it doesn't have yet is a professional services ecosystem to match.
I saw that gap. But more than the business opportunity — I saw the people. Hard-working, skilled, proud. The same kind of people I've built relationships with my entire career.
I'm not coming to extract from the DR. I'm coming to build something with it. That's the difference. That's always been the difference.
🤝
The People
Warm, community-driven, proud of where they're from. Three weeks in and I'd already met people I want to build something lasting with.
🌴
The Quality of Life
The ease of life. The food, the beaches, the pace. A place where community still means something.
📈
The Timing
IKEA opened. Tourism is booming. Expats are arriving. The market is ready and no one has built the infrastructure yet.
🏗️
The First
From my research, there is no professional home services marketplace in the DR. BuiltBy will be the first.
Coming Mid-2027
The Dominican Republic's first professional services marketplace.
'Life is about building others — hence the name BuiltBy.' Everything James has built over 20 years is the foundation this platform stands on.
