Moving tips

We have noticed throughout our 27 years that these tips reduce our time on the clock, along with simplifying the move process for our customers:

  1. Summer is our busiest time of the year and we advise you to give us 2-4 weeks notice to ensure your dates availability
  2. Reserve service elevators ahead of your scheduled move date
  3. Hours of Operation vary from storage to storage; be sure to confirm access during schedule move times
  4. Please clear all vehicles from driveways so we start the job promptly upon arrival
  5. For partial moves or items that will not be relocated, please mark the furniture with blue painter’s tape (or masking tape) before our arrival. This will ensure our crew can easily identify these items during the pre-move walkthrough.
  6. Low-hanging branches could make backing the truck difficult, please attempt to clear space for a 13-foot-high truck in your driveway
  7. When moving to a location with wood or marble floors:  we recommend buying self-adhesive felt pads from Lowes or Home Depot
  8. Remove your lamp shades if you are planning on having us transport them
  9. If a mirror is attached to your dresser, please disassemble
  10. Disassemble your bed frame from the headboard, if possible. Stand the mattress and box spring against the wall
  11. Unplug Electronics and wrap the cords up
  12. Use the entire box when packing and make sure to cushion breakables. Half empty boxes should be left open
  13. Clearly Label your boxes to where they will be placed after coming off the truck via your destination
  14. Remove picture frames and mirrors from the wall for transport
  15. Home Depot usually has the cheapest boxes in Tampa Bay
  16. Request 1 wardrobe for every 3 feet of closet space you wish to transport
  17. Use small boxes when packing books; we have plenty of muscle power, but larger boxes cannot hold the weight and may collapse
  18. Stack boxes that have been packed and label in a specific area, makes for easy access
  19. Transporting small items in your personal vehicle and allowing us to focus on the larger items will reduce your time spent on the job
  20. Please remove propane tanks from grills and fireplaces as they cannot be transported in our trucks
  21. Perishable, food items cannot be stored or loaded into storage or a pod.
