packing and moving services
Packing is as crucial as transportation. Here’s how to do it right:
- Use high-quality packing materials—strong boxes, bubble wrap, padding.
- Disassemble large furniture and keep hardware in labeled bags.
- Pack heavy items in small boxes; light items in larger ones.
- Use wardrobe boxes for clothing and hanging items.
- Label boxes with content and room destination.
- Leave essentials (documents, toiletries, chargers) for last box you’ll open.
moving cost estimate
Estimating moving costs depends on:
- Distance traveled (local vs interstate)
- Volume or weight of belongings
- Labor needed for packing, loading, unloading
- Special items (pianos, antiques, oversized)
- Storage, insurance, and additional services
Get multiple written estimates and make sure rates are itemized to compare apples to apples.
