Q: How do I know if my moving company is legitimate?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moving-scams-avoid.htm">moving scammers</a> exist, so it&rsquo;s important to thoroughly vet your moving company before scheduling a service date. Your moving company is likely legitimate if the offer fits within the average cost range, they provide proper contracts and moving insurance, don&rsquo;t require a large deposit, and have several positive and recent online reviews from previous customers. Feel free to request previous customer information from the moving service and contact them to inquire about their experience to ease any lingering concerns.</p></div>

Q: Can I lay a mirror flat to move it?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t want to put anything on top of your mirror when you move it. You also want to limit the possibility that something heavy will fall on the glass and shatter it. For this reason, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to lay a mirror flat in the moving truck.</p></div>

Q: Can a pool table be moved without taking it apart?

• <div><p>You can move a pool table without taking it apart only if you&rsquo;re moving it a short distance, like from one room to another, and with the help of several people or a professional moving company. But if you&rsquo;re moving the pool table from one home to another, experts strongly advise you not to move it without taking it apart. If you leave it in one piece, you could risk not only your own personal safety, but also risk damage to the pool table itself. The bumpers could need to be realigned and the slate may have to be re-leveled if you try to move a pool table without taking it apart. In this case, the risk usually doesn&rsquo;t outweigh the reward. </p></div>

Q: Can you transport a motorcycle on its side?

• <div><p>No, it is vital to transport a motorcycle upright because of its battery. These batteries are typically not sealed to avoid overpressurization, so the motorcycle could leak battery acid if it lays on its side. Plus, laying it on its side for a long period of time may cause hydrolock, which is when oil leaks into the combustion chamber, making your spark plug unable to ignite the gas due to lack of air.</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>

Let me tell you, these guys are great. Genuine boss, genuine crew. Polite, knowledgeable, and even fun! They are hard working and moved with a purpose. They charged a fair price and didn?t cause any collateral damage to my home. They cleaned up my property neatly. I hired them a second time
