Moving Tips
We believe that our service includes sharing any tips and tricks we have learned over the years! A successful move requires all parties to be on the same page so everything goes smoothly. We have compiled the list below to make your move seamless and hassle-free!
- Wrap and box all small items to save on moving time and protect your possessions from damage.
- Label all boxes and note the area/room where you want them to be placed.
- Try to pack the majority of boxes so that they are closed. This will make your boxes more stackable, cutting down on the amount of space taken up in a truck and preventing items from being unstable during transport.
- Heavy wooden dressers, wardrobes, and chests of drawers should be emptied of items to cut down on the weight and prevent damage.
- Keep all valuables in your possession; we are not responsible for loss or damage to these items.
- Please disassemble flake/particle board furniture. We are not responsible for damage to these items.
- We do not disconnect or reconnect gas appliances.
- Upright refrigerators and freezers must be totally empty and de-iced.
- We do not disconnect or reconnect ice makers, please do this before we arrive.
- All waterbeds must be completely disassembled and drained.
- We can disassemble and reassemble most any bed, including power beds.
- Large head/foot boards take considerably more time; you may choose to disassemble/reassemble yourself to cut down on time.
- Pianos may need to be re-tuned and keyboards re-aligned after the move.
