The right way to move big furniture
Most furniture damage happens at doorways, corners and on stairs—not on the road. Good furniture moving comes down to protection, the right equipment and knowing when a piece should come apart.
Wrapped before it moves
Upholstery, wood finishes and glass are wrapped in moving pads or plastic before they leave the room, and floors and door frames along the path are protected.
Disassembly and reassembly
Bed frames, dining tables, desks and some sectionals travel more safely in pieces. Tell us in advance which items will need it so the crew brings the right tools and time. Hardware stays bagged and labeled with its piece.
When it won't fit
Measure doorways, hallways, stair turns and elevator depth at the new home before moving day. Removing legs, feet or doors often solves a tight fit—tell us about anything that looks close.
Heirlooms and antiques
Delicate finishes, old joinery and pieces with sentimental value get extra padding and an unhurried carry. For pianos, clocks and fine china, see piano and specialty moving.
