Moving Day Prep Checklist

We're excited to help make your move smooth and stress-free. To keep things safe and efficient on move day, here's what we ask you to have ready before our crew arrives.

Packing & boxes

  • All personal items packed in sealed, labeled boxes
  • Fragile items clearly marked and cushioned inside boxes
  • TVs unmounted and placed in their original boxes or a proper TV box — let us know ahead of time if you need a TV box or mounting/unmounting help
  • All TVs plugged in and inspected by our team before loading, to verify condition and protect both you and us
  • Electronics unplugged and ready for transport
  • Lampshades and light bulbs removed from lamps
  • Loose or breakable items cleared out of desk drawers and shelving units — dresser drawers can usually stay loaded with clothes (see furniture note below)

Furniture & mattresses

  • Beds and large furniture cleared off and ready for disassembly — we'll handle the disassembly itself
  • Dresser drawers emptied (clothes removed) — only needed if the piece isn't sturdy enough to move loaded; ask us if you're not sure about a specific piece
  • Items from bookcases or shelving units boxed up

Valuables & personal items

  • Keep personal documents, jewelry, cash, firearms, medications, and sentimental items with you
  • Remove and safely store any wall decor, mirrors, or artwork you don't want us to handle

Appliances & special items

  • Washers and refrigerators — a plumber or you will need to handle gas/water lines beforehand
  • Grills and smokers cleaned out — we cannot transport propane tanks

Items we can't move

  • Chemicals or flammable liquids
  • Ammunition or firearms
  • Trash or furniture being discarded, unless it's a pre-arranged haul-off
  • Pool tables or grand pianos
  • Curved TVs or other fragile electronics, unless properly boxed

Payment reminders

A $200 deposit reserves your move date. Note that your date isn't fully secured until both the deposit and signed contract are complete.

  • Cash
  • Credit/Debit
  • Zelle
  • Apple Pay

Final tips

  • Please be present at the start and end of the move for walkthroughs
  • Have someone available at your new location to direct where items should go
  • Need extra boxes, covers, or other moving supplies? Let us know before moving day — we've got you covered
