"My husband & I first scheduled to have lighting fixtures installed.  Lou called the night before to confirm the time & get directions & he arrived the next day promptly at 8 AM as promised!  He completed an excellent job in just a few hours.  We then scheduled to have drywall repaired, baseboards and flooring transition strips installed and brick in the foyer repaired.  He again called to confirm the time & both he & Tony arrived promptly as promised, worked professionally, and even cleaned up afterwards! 
When I first called Handyman Matters, the secretary was very considerate, courteous, and worked around our schedule to accommodate us.  It actually was this first impression that made us move forward to hire this company.  We were very pleased from start to finish & would definitely recommend them & will be looking forward to working with them again."

Moving questions, answered by experts

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.

The maximum size of a tiny home you can move depends on your state transportation guidelines, but the rule of thumb is a maximum of 400 square feet. However, as long as it falls within the local limits for traveling on public roadways, you should be good to hit the road.

The best way to move a 3-bedroom house long distance depends on your budget. Hiring a full-service moving company works best if you have a higher budget. If you’re on a tighter budget, renting a moving van and doing everything yourself is your best bet. Other options include renting a storage container, pod, or freight container. You can also ship your belongings if you don’t have many items. 

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

When moving yourself, you should consider the non-monetary costs, such as time spent and physical and mental stress. If you’re packing and moving every box on your own, or with the help of a few volunteers, you can expect the process to take several days or even weeks. While it’s a less expensive option than hiring full-service movers, keep in mind that the process will be much more difficult.
