Preparing Your Home for a Move
A clear route gives the crew room to work. Look at corners, doorways and floor surfaces at both homes before moving day, then discuss any delicate finishes or awkward turns with your team.
Protecting Your Floors
- Use Floor Runners: Lay down protective floor runners to shield high-traffic areas.
- Furniture Sliders: Use sliders suited to the floor type and furniture weight, and check the route for grit or debris.
- Carpet Protection: Use products approved for the carpet type and follow their removal instructions; avoid adhesive products on unsuitable finishes.
Shielding Your Walls
- Corner Guards: Install corner guards to prevent dents and scratches.
- Bubble Wrap: Wrap large furniture pieces to cushion any accidental bumps.
- Plan Your Route: Map out the best pathways to avoid tight spots.
Additional Tips
Ensure pathways are clear of obstacles. Communicate with your movers about the importance of handling items with care. At Mr. Box Moving & Storage, we understand the value of your home and belongings. Our professional team is here to assist you every step of the way.
Before you finish
Before carrying begins, walk the route together and point out any areas needing extra care. Keep children, pets and loose items away from the working path.
