Nothing is more exciting than a new house. It is our goal to move all your things
without damaging your house or possessions. To insure this, we cover the entrance
foyer, remove doors as needed and cover banisters, before unloading.
At the new house, you should:
- Have someone there to tell us where you want the furniture placed.
- Be sure the driveway, sidewalk and porches are clear of mud, debris, leaves,
etc. to avoid tracking these into the house.
- Do not schedule any cleaning, painting, carpentry, or installations for
moving day. We will only get in each other's way and risk damaging your
house or furniture.
- Please do not lay plastic on floors. This is dangerous and will have to be
removed. You CAN use the kind of clear plastic that has one sticky side.
- Please do not cover stairs in the house unless you use the sticky plastic.
- If you move some items yourself, stack them out of the way so we can place
the furniture and boxes where they need to go.

These places are usually "catch-alls" for many loose items. Please pack these
things in boxes and label them.
Here are a few more tips on having these areas ready for us to move:
- Use boxes, not bags.
- Tape yard tools together.
- Pull items out of crawl spaces and from under the eaves.
- We cannot transport fuel, gas, paint, propane or other flammable materials.
- Shelving and other installed items that are to be moved should be removed
from walls prior to our arrival.
- We cannot go up "pull-down" stairs to remove or place items in an attic.
We can help you do this if previous arrangements have been made.

If you choose to pack yourself, please follow these guidelines:
- Use quality boxes and tape (no duct or masking tape please). We can sell
and deliver the packing materials
you may need. Mover-provided cartons may prevent damage that results from the
use of poor-quality packing materials.
- Use paper to wrap fragile items.
- Use small boxes for heavy items such as books, magazines, and record albums.
- Tape all boxes closed, no flap folding.
- Label the tops of boxes as to which room they will go.
- Label fragile boxes that are truly fragile.
- All pictures, lamps and shades must be boxed, if you want us to move them.
- All hang-up clothes must be boxed. With prior notice, you can rent wardrobe
boxes from us on moving day.
- Do not water plants for at least 3 days before moving day.
Please Note: Owner-packed boxes are not covered by any insurance.
Incorrect packing is the prime cause of damages. When you've done it right, the
box should weigh no more than 50 pounds, the sides shouldn't bulge, and the top
should close without caving in. Fill in empty space with paper if needed and
take out items if the top won't close. Keep in mind that the heavier the items,
the smaller the box should be.

- All furniture surfaces should be cleared off.
- All beds should be void of linens.
- Waterbed mattresses must be completely drained.
- Dresser drawers do not need to be emptied; however, all fragile items
within them must be packed.
- All furniture with doors must be emptied.
- We will take apart beds and remove mirrors from dressers.

- It is the customer's responsibility to empty the refrigerator and freezer
on the day of the move. Be sure to have extra boxes or coolers to do this.
- If the icemaker cut-off is under the house, please have it disconnected
prior to moving day. We will not crawl under houses to disconnect.
Note: We can not hook up icemakers.
- We do not disconnect or reconnect washers and dryers.
- We cannot disconnect or reconnect any gas appliances. Please call your gas
company for this service.
