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: How do I choose a relocation company?

• <div><p>The first step to choosing a relocation company is determining the distance of your move, types of services needed, and how many professional movers you need to hire. Once you set the parameter of your move, get price quotes from at least three local moving companies to compare pricing. Then, choose a relocation company that fits within your budget, supplies the necessary services, and has positive reviews from previous moving customers. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to pay movers to pack for you?

• <div><p>Movers know the best way to pack different items to protect them during a move and make the most of the space in a moving truck. You can pack your belongings to save money, but there&rsquo;s a higher risk of damage.</p></div>

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: Do I need moving insurance?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moving-insurance-worth-cost.htm">Moving insurance</a> helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs. </p></div>
