Provide complete addresses, inventory, access details, service requirements, and information about large, fragile, heavy, or high-value items. A guided video walkthrough or detailed survey can help us evaluate the move more accurately before moving day.
Moving cost is influenced by inventory, labor, distance, access, stairs, elevators, parking, packing needs, specialty items, equipment, travel, and the amount of time required. Accurate information allows us to recommend the most appropriate estimate structure.
Do not pack flammables, explosives, fuels, propane cylinders, corrosive chemicals, illegal materials, open liquids, or other hazardous substances without prior approval. Keep cash, jewelry, medications, keys, sensitive documents, irreplaceable items, and essential electronics with you.
Finish packing before the crew arrives unless packing service is included. Create clear walkways, separate items that are not moving, label boxes, reserve parking, secure pets, and keep keys, medications, documents, valuables, and immediate-use items with you.
Additional inventory, incomplete packing, stairs, long carries, elevator delays, poor parking, oversized items, disassembly, weather, traffic, and destination access can extend the move. Accurate advance information is the best way to improve planning.
Furniture is prepared according to the item and move conditions. Standard procedures may include moving blankets, stretch wrap, bands, floor protection, disassembly, hand trucks, dollies, straps, and careful positioning inside the truck or container.
