Q: Can two people move a gun safe?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need at least three able-bodied people to move a gun safe. Since gun safes are bulky and heavy, they can easily tip when you try to load them on the dolly and onto the truck or trailer. The more help you can get, the better! You should also consider hiring a team of professional movers to help with this heavy-duty move.</p></div>

Q: What’s included in a professional movers' cost?

• <div><p>Professional movers take care of safely loading, transporting, and unloading all of your belongings. Many movers also offer specialty pricing for whole-house packing, furniture disassembly, relocating fragile items, and more. You&rsquo;ll benefit from having a moving team take care of your move quickly and efficiently.</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: How do I hire a qualified moving company?

• <div><p>Since mirrors are fragile, it&rsquo;s important to find an experienced moving company that can properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/top-10-items-damaged-when-moving.htm">move fragile items</a>. You should always consider online reviews and testimonials. If you don&rsquo;t know where to start, these tips to hiring the best movers can help.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I’m getting a good deal on movers?

• <div><p>To make sure that your moving quote is fair, check current prices for hiring movers in your area. Your starting and final locations can affect the price. You should also make sure you include the cost of any specialty movers in your price estimate. Calculate your moving costs including the estimated expense of moving services and compare the figure to average costs in your area.</p></div>

"The move was professionally done. Members of the moving team were pleasant and informative. They carefully assessed the best way to get the piano in my house. Unfortunately, an accident occurred when moving the piano out of the seller's house, leaving some gashes in the wood along the front of the piano. I was not there and the seller did not see what happened, so have no idea why the damage occurred. The company was most gracious in giving me a reduced moving fee for the damage. This should help in covering costs to try to hide the wood damage."
