Q: What questions should I ask a moving company?

• <div><p>Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: </p><ul><li><p>Is there anything your company won&rsquo;t move? </p></li><li><p>Does workers&rsquo; compensation cover the crew?</p></li><li><p>Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? </p></li><li><p>Are there packing restrictions?</p></li><li><p>Can you guarantee my delivery date?</p></li><li><p>Can you provide references? </p></li><li><p>What do you charge extra for?</p></li><li><p>What is your cancellation policy?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do I move a heavy couch upstairs?

• <div><p>Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.</p><p>Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You&rsquo;ll still need to lift the dolly&mdash;with the couch on it&mdash;up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.</p><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.</p></div>

Q: What is the oldest that my mobile home can be to move?

• <div><p>According to the <a href="https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/housing/rmra/mhs/faqs">U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,</a> mobile homes built before 1976 do not meet the current safety standards and shouldn&rsquo;t be moved even a short distance.</p></div>

Q: Should you disassemble furniture before moving?

• <div><p>Not all furniture needs to be disassembled. Smaller items or pieces that are easily transportable might not require disassembly. You only need to worry about assembling large pieces, like a sofa, in order to fit through existing door frames and hallways. Before you disassemble anything, take measurements of your furniture and talk to your moving company about what should be taken apart prior to moving.</p></div>

Q: Does car insurance cover moving?

• <div><p>It depends on your policy, but you may be covered for any damages to your personal property. How much you receive will depend on the circumstances under which property was damaged and if you can prove it was damaged during the incident on the road. Your insurance company may also only cover the cost to repair any items, and not outright replace them. Checking in with your insurance provider will help you get a clearer picture of your overall coverage. </p></div>

Moving questions, answered by experts

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including:

Is there anything your company won’t move?
Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?
Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture?
Are there packing restrictions?
Can you guarantee my delivery date?
Can you provide references?
What do you charge extra for?
What is your cancellation policy?

Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.

Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You’ll still need to lift the dolly—with the couch on it—up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.

If you don’t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.
