Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do before my movers arrive?
Moving day can be stressful, but we're here to help! A great way to reduce stress, save time, and save money is to prepare days or weeks in advance to make your move go as quick and smoothly as possible. Below are some recommended ways to help you make your moving day a pleasurable one!
Packing Correctly
-
We ask that customers have all small/medium sized belongings packed in closed boxes, tubs, or crates and to keep loose items to as few as possible. Loose items take more time to load, cannot be stacked or protected, and cannot be insured in the event of damage (ie. lamp shades, clothing, electronics).
-
Please pack heavy items in smaller boxes and light items in bigger boxes, this makes moving and stacking boxes much easier and will prevent boxes from ripping due to weight.
-
When flights of stairs are involved, we ask that you empty and repack contents of large or heavy items such as dressers, file cabinets, and items with shelves. This will significantly reduce the weight and will intern increase the speed of loading.
-
When possible, we highly recommend all items such as bed frames and media centers be disassembled prior to your movers arriving. This will save lots of time and intern save you money. Our movers are more than able to assemble/disassemble your items, however we are not liable for for any item or structure that is assembled or disassembled by our movers.
-
Please pack items such as Plasma TV's/Flat Screens/Computer Monitors/Printers/Speakers in their original packing or have them boxed or crated prior to your move. We are able blanket and plastic wrap these items if they are not protected, however we cannot be held liable for damages that may arise from insufficient protection.
-
Please pack items such as paintings, pictures, mirrors, glass tops, and other fragile items in mirror/artwork boxes. We are able blanket and plastic wrap these items if they are not protected, however we cannot be held liable for damages that may arise due to insufficient protection.
-
Please put labels, color-codes, or specific instructions on every item, pre-packed box or anything else you want to be handled with special care or has a specific destination in the house.
-
Please keep the items that your movers should not pack and load on the moving truck separately. These items should include: Personal documents, valuables, heirlooms, jewelry, artwork, collector items, medications, electronic devices of crucial importance (laptop, phone, camera, tablet).
-
Please remove any mounted items from the wall, especially TV's, as our movers are unable to remove items that may affect the structural integrity of the property.
-
Please disconnect and empty all appliances. Due to liability reasons we are unable to disconnect or reconnect any gas or water lines on appliances and doing so prior to your move will save you time and money.
-
Please keep large items such as mattresses and box springs easily accessible as these items are generally loaded first.
Parking
-
Please secure close parking access for our truck(s). If you are in an apartment building, check with the appropriate building manager for reserving a loading dock or similar spot. This will help prevents long carry distances and will save lots of time during the loading and unloading phases.
-
On the day of your move, please keep walkways and driveways clear of snow, vehicles, and other obstructions. This will make parking and loading quick, easy, and safe.
-
If you have have specific parking needs, extremely steep driveways, dirt roads, or any potential obstacles for our trucks, we do ask that you let our offices know prior to your move in order for our movers to be prepared in advance.
