Q: Why do movers wrap furniture in plastic?

• <div><p>Movers wrap furniture in plastic to provide protection during transportation or storage. Plastic wrap acts as a barrier, safeguarding furniture from dust, dirt, moisture, and potential scratches or damage. It helps to keep upholstery, wood, or delicate surfaces intact, preventing wear and tear during the moving process. Additionally, plastic wrap helps to secure loose components of furniture, such as drawers or doors, reducing the risk of breakage.</p></div>

Q: Should I pack knives in their own box to help the movers?

• <div><p>It is helpful for safety reasons to pack knives in their own box and clearly label them. This way, movers can take extra caution when moving these boxes and pack them in the moving truck accordingly. Plus, it will remind you to use extra caution when unpacking that box in your new kitchen. </p></div>

Q: What do you do when movers are moving you?

• <div><p>While your movers focus on packing and transporting your belongings, you can focus on other parts of your move, such as preparing children and pets to move or cleaning rooms as they&rsquo;re emptied. You&rsquo;ll need to be onsite as your movers pack or unpack your stuff, and can help direct movers to where items should go if they need help. Additionally, if there are certain items you&rsquo;d prefer to move yourself, such as valuables or sentimental items, focus on packing those things and taking them with you during your move.</p></div>

Q: How do I move heavy furniture by myself?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s typically not advisable to move heavy furniture by yourself. However, if you are confident that you can do it safely, there are several different tools you can use, including a hand truck, a four-wheel dolly, or an appliance dolly. If you&rsquo;re moving furniture upstairs or downstairs, a hand truck is the most suitable choice. Regardless of what you choose to use, always ensure that the furniture is well-balanced and secure by using lifting straps or tie-down straps to keep it in place. </p></div>

Q: Where can I find moving supplies like mirror boxes?

• <div><p>Most hardware stores or shipping centers have mirror boxes and moving supplies. You can find most of what you need online, but if you&rsquo;re still having trouble, contact your movers or moving truck rental company. They may sell boxes and packing supplies, too.</p></div>

They were quick to respond to my inquiry and were willing to take in the job although it was quite small. This was for my sister who is disabled, so she couldn't move and dispose of this piece of furniture. I appreciate that they isn't see this job as too minor to deal with.

"We had a major project. Our project was the 1st floor of our three-story townhouse David and Josh were very professional in guiding us through every aspect of completing our full kitchen, bathroom, small living room and craft room. They gave us a detailed written estimate for both the downstairs work plus the beautiful 12' × 16' composite deck. The work began on time and was completed as agreed upon. Dave and Josh cleaned up their workspace and tools every day. They kept us apprised of daily progress. One of our little dogs even developed a close attachment to Josh! My wife and I would definitely recommend GG Handyman & Home Remodeling to other potential clients. Thx!!@ David and Josh."
