Sean and his team are amazing. They were very efficient and hard working. They made my move stress free! It was a pleasure working with them. They even took a sofa to the dump for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing moving services.

Moving questions, answered by experts

Just as moving a couch by yourself isn’t always a good idea, moving a heavy bed frame by yourself is not advisable. Doing so puts you at risk of injury, and you can damage the frame if you drop it or bang it while moving it. The best way to move a heavy bed frame is to enlist the help of friends or family or hire professional movers with the experience and equipment to move it safely and efficiently.

To save your flooring’s finish and to protect yourself from injury, use furniture sliders to move your couch from room to room on the same house level. Double-check that entryways are large enough to pass through. If you need to move a couch up or down stairs, hire a team of movers to help you with this task to avoid damaging your walls or staircase.

Disassembling a shed before you move it could save space and ease the process of loading it onto a moving vehicle. However, you should only disassemble it if it was designed for the possibility of re-building it at your new home. Consult the original process and materials required to build the shed in the first place when considering this option.

To prepare furniture for moving, detach furniture legs if possible. If the legs must stay on, wrap them with foam wrap or taped blankets to help prevent damage. You can also buy dedicated moving “socks” for furniture legs.

Tipping movers isn’t mandatory, and most professional companies won’t expect it, but it is a nice way to say “thank you” and to show your appreciation for the care they took while handling your belongings. Tipping somewhere between 10% and 20% of your total bill to split among the movers is a good amount. Tipping is an especially good idea if your movers are working in the rain, snow, or excessive temperatures, if they relocate specialty items, like pianos, or simply if they go above and beyond during the process of moving.
