Get matched with top movers in Belle Haven, VA

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>

Q: Do I need insurance for my moving pod?

• <div><p>Yes, you need insurance for a moving pod. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moving-insurance-worth-cost.htm">Moving insurance is worth the cost</a> because it can help pay to replace any damaged or destroyed items during the move. Without insurance, you&rsquo;d be on the hook to pay for those replacements entirely out of pocket. </p></div>

Q: What do movers load first?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Will movers move a gas grill?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-movers-one-item.htm">movers will usually move one item</a> like a gas grill&mdash;but your propane tank must be empty if you want them to move it. If you still have propane, you&rsquo;ll need to either transport it yourself or dispose of it properly and purchase a new one after the move. </p></div>

Q: Can two people move a gun safe?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need at least three able-bodied people to move a gun safe. Since gun safes are bulky and heavy, they can easily tip when you try to load them on the dolly and onto the truck or trailer. The more help you can get, the better! You should also consider hiring a team of professional movers to help with this heavy-duty move.</p></div>

Nico and Frank did an excellent job taking out the old shower, moving the drain, replacing piping, etc. The cutting of acrylic walls was exacting and cleanly installed. They were friendly, efficient and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend them. FIVE STARS!!!!
