Before the crew arrives

Have everything packed and labeled before moving day starts, unless we are doing the packing for you. Keep one clear path from each room to the front door. Put anything traveling with you — documents, medications, chargers, snacks — in your car the night before. If you have kids or pets, plan for them to be with someone else for the day.

The first hour

The crew leader walks through your home with you and notes anything fragile, heavy, or awkward. Then the team pads the doorways and lays floor protection. Big furniture gets wrapped first, then boxes start moving to the truck. This is the slowest-looking hour, and it is the most important one.

Loading

Loading takes longer than most people expect — often two to four hours for a house. Heavy furniture goes in first and gets strapped down. Boxes stack by weight: heavy on the bottom, light on top. The crew loads in layers, filling gaps with soft items like bags of linens so nothing shifts in transit.

The drive and unloading

At the new place, the crew leader does another walkthrough with you so the team knows which room each box goes to. Unloading is usually faster than loading. Furniture gets placed where you want it before the boxes pile up around it.

The final walkthrough

Before we leave, walk through both homes with the crew leader. Check closets, attics, basements, and behind every door. Once you sign off, the move is done — and you get to sleep in your new place tonight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical local move take?

A one-bedroom apartment often takes three to five hours door to door. A three-bedroom house is usually a full day. Packing, stairs, and long walks to the truck add time.

What should I do while the crew works?

Stay available for questions but out of the way. The crew leader will check in with you at the start and the end. Pointing out fragile items at the beginning is the most useful thing you can do.
