"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."
"Absolutely the best moving company that I have ever worked with. They not only used pads to protect the contents, they shrink wrapped each item. They were and are the best moving company I have ever seen. Thank you Andy and the amazing crew."
"I have used Pro Express Moving three times in the last three years, and they have done an excellent job with every move. I'm constantly impressed with their speed of packing, handling of heavy items, and thoroughness in unpacking. They are professional and reliable, which is everything you want in a moving company."
"I moved from Westchester NY to Houston TX. I can say that Pick And Pack Moving is amazing.The whole move takes only 4 days.I thought at least some of the kitchen stuff will be damaged but everything was fine. Beyond and above!!! Absolutely recommend to anyone for any kind of moving."
"Bryan, Josie and their team were great to work with on every project. I started using their services 3 years ago when they were recommended by a local realtor after the contractor that was supposed to get our new home in NJ ready for our arrival from Atlanta was a no show. We had never met on site to do a walk through so everything was done by phone but when we arrived we walked in to what had been a falling apart house that had been empty for at least 3 years and it immediately felt like home. We were worried it wouldn’t be possible with the short notice and lack of a true game plan but they were easy to communicate with, dependable, patient and quick to catch the curve balls that were thrown at them. I am not sure what we would have done without them because we were in a, there’s no turning back now situation and we were moving up to move my mother in law in with us after she had a stroke and a heart attack so it was very stressful to think we may not have a livable home when we got here. Since then they have revisited my home to fix plumbing that we weren’t able to tackle before the move and they have opened up a door way and built a staircase between two buildings for us so that we could expand our business and they were just as wonderful to work with as they were the first time around. I can’t recommend or praise them enough!"
Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.
Professional movers use dedicated packing materials like specialty boxes for artwork, TVs, clothes and other things that need to be moved with care. If professional movers are packing for you, they use foam, bubble wrap, and other cushioning for the journey. You can ask questions about how movers will handle specific items when you are getting a price estimate.
Yes, it is generally possible to move a stair lift to another home, but the feasibility depends on the type of lift. Straight stair lifts are much simpler to move and can usually be reinstalled on other straight staircases with professional help. Curved stair lifts, however, are custom-built for a specific stairway. Because each rail is designed to fit the unique curves of the original staircase, it is unlikely to work in a new home. Moving a curved lift can be costly and challenging, and you may need to sell or remove the old unit and install a new one at your new location.
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.
Unscrew and remove furniture legs if possible. If it’s not possible, then run the straps parallel on the inner side of the furniture legs. Never put your straps on the outer side of legs where they can easily slip off.
