Do you assemble a sauna you sourced elsewhere?

Yes, to the same standard. A sauna you found on your own gets the same site walk, the same crew, the same first-burn walkthrough, and the same support afterward. Our assembly of a room sourced elsewhere carries a three month service and craftsmanship guarantee.

How long does assembly take?

Most assemblies take four to eight hours on site. Indoor rooms vary with the space, and your specialist will walk the plan with you before the crew is booked.

Do you remove the crate and packaging?

Yes. The crates, the wrap, and the packaging leave with us, and the site is cleaned before we call the build finished.

Where do you offer sauna delivery and assembly?

We build across the Colorado Front Range, Southern California, and the Kansas City metro, on the member's own site. Each market page lists the cities we cover. Call 720.780.4400 and a specialist will tell you plainly whether we can serve your site.

How does professional sauna assembly work?

We coordinate the freight, meet the truck, and assemble the room on site in sequence. The work ends with the site cleaned, the packaging gone, and a first-burn walkthrough of the controls and the room.

Freight is its own project, and it is where most self-managed builds first go sideways. We coordinate the carrier, the delivery window, the unload, and where the crates sit until the crew is ready for them. Someone who works for us is there when the truck arrives.

Assembly means a crew, a plan, and a sequence. We protect the route in, assemble in order, and set the door and the glass properly, because the door is the part you touch every single time you use the room.

Trim and finish work is done before we call it finished, level is confirmed, and the site is cleaned up before we leave. The crates and packaging leave with us.

“David, the owner, worked with us to get a high quality sauna. David is very responsive, knowledgeable, honest and responsive. He will have your sauna delivered to your home. He will then assemble the sauna and remove all the packaging. I highly recommend purchasing a sauna from Sauna Friend.”

“Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”

“Worthy of 10 stars! Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
