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 if I need to move my couch within my house?

• <div><p>To save your flooring&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to move a safe?

• <div><p>The average cost to hire professionals to move a gun safe ranges between <b>$200 to $525.</b> The cost varies significantly depending on the safe&rsquo;s size, weight, and location. However, the total bill can increase if it is a large safe and a complex move. Consult a local moving company that specializes in safe moving to determine the estimated cost of this service.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to transport plants when moving?

• <div><p>The best way to transport plants when moving is to prep them properly, cover the soil, pack them tightly in boxes, and take extra precautions depending on state plant regulations, weather, and distance. You should be sure to fill in the gaps around your plants to minimize movement during transit and plan to unpack them shortly after arriving at your destination. </p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover moving damage?

• <div><p>Yes, moving insurance is designed to cover some or all of the replacement cost in the event your items are damaged during transit. You can get coverage directly from moving companies or use a third-party moving insurance provider. Plus, you can get coverage from third-party insurers for yourself if you&rsquo;re moving your belongings. </p></div>

They did an excellent job of removing two trees. The tree roots were raising the sidewalk and had to be removed. They cleaned all limbs and leaves. They left no trace of trees even being there. Their customer service was very professional. I plan to use them again.

She did a decent job on most things but I thought she missed some pretty basic things (dusting and moving furniture to vacuum under). For her four hours of work was good but she was supposed to have help. I paid for fours hours of work by two people.
