Get matched with top movers in Block Island, RI

Q: Is it okay to move a piano yourself?

• <div><p>It is certainly possible to move a piano without hiring movers, but it&rsquo;s not recommended. Not only will you need at least four people to lift and maneuver the piano, but getting it around tight corners and down flights of stairs might not be possible without the help of movers. Plus, pianos are exceptionally heavy and bulky, which means you and any helping hands are at risk of injury, as well as an increased risk of damaging your piano. Ultimately, it&rsquo;s always worth it to call in a professional piano mover.</p></div>

Q: How do you transport a bed frame?

• <div><p>To transport a bed frame, disassemble it as much as needed and then wrap it with moving blankets or bubble wrap to prevent damage. If you&rsquo;re transporting the frame in your vehicle, check to ensure it&rsquo;ll fit before you start. If not, you might need to rent a moving truck or hire professional movers to transport your bed frame to its new home.</p></div>

Q: How do I move my couch within my house?

• <div><p>If you need to move your heavy couch to another part of your home , the safer option is to hire a professional moving team. More complex moving situations require professional services, which will make the move much easier and prevent serious injury.</p></div>

Q: Should you tip movers?

• <div><p>Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.</p></div>

Q: How do I move a pet into a new apartment?

• <div><p>Apartments come with strict regulations about what pets are allowed, so check before you sign a lease. If you have a fish or reptile, wait to move them until everything is set up and you&rsquo;re ready to do a special move just for them and their aquarium/terrarium.</p><p>For a dog or cat, be sure you have a carrier before the move. On moving day, it&rsquo;s best to designate a &ldquo;safe room&rdquo; or even a crate for your pet to help them get used to the new space. Keep everything they need in the safe room, and let them explore the rest of the apartment in their own time.</p></div>
