Whenever possible, be present during loading and unloading. Start with a walk-through at the beginning, and finish with another at the end to confirm that everything is accounted for.

However, if you cannot attend, we can still complete the entire move without your presence, while keeping everything organized. 

• For example, empty armoires and desks before the move. Also, our team will disassemble and reassemble beds. Furthermore, place mattresses and box springs in mattress bags. You may provide these bags yourself, or alternatively, we can supply them at an additional cost.

   

• Additionally, tape the tops and bottoms of boxes and clearly label the sides for easy identification. Moreover, carpet masking is available for an extra charge to protect flooring during the move.

• Specifically, shrink-wrap light-colored furniture for extra protection at an additional cost. If dressers are sturdy, keep them full but remove small, loose items. Also, empty entertainment centers completely. Similarly, two-drawer file cabinets can remain full, but empty all others.

Important: Do not pack or move flammable or hazardous materials. Additionally, avoid using garbage bags for packing since they provide inadequate protection. Moreover, pack lamps and shades in boxes, particularly delicate lamp shades, to prevent damage. 

Furthermore, we can move pianos, hot tubs, trampolines, safes, and other large items. Also, empty the contents of your refrigerator into coolers on moving day. Finally, pack electronics carefully in boxes to avoid damage. Helpful Tips For Residential Moves.
