01
Make room for the truck
Reserve parking or loading space, confirm elevator rules, and share stairs or long carries at both addresses.
02
Flag the difficult pieces
Point out large furniture, appliances, fragile items, and anything that may need disassembly or extra protection.
03
Keep essentials with you
Set aside medication, documents, chargers, keys, and first-night items before boxes start loading.
Before moving day
Before your movers arrive.
01
Reserve access
If you are moving from an apartment or shared building, reserve elevators and a place for the truck.
02
Choose a move contact
Designate someone who knows where furniture and boxes should go at the destination.
03
Mark the boxes
Label by room and identify fragile contents or boxes you need first.
04
Make a hardware kit
Keep zip bags and a marker ready for screws, bolts, and small furniture parts.
The important small things
Keep these items with you on moving day.
Keep documents, medication, valuables, chargers, and first-night essentials separate from the truck. Arrange a calm place for pets and children while the crew works.
Ask Moving Pros about any items the crew cannot transport, including fuels or hazardous materials, before moving day.

Appliances & furniture
Items that need extra preparation.
FRIDGE & FREEZER
Check appliance prep
Ask how appliances should be emptied, disconnected, and made ready for loading.
POWER EQUIPMENT
Handle fluids safely
Drain fuel from lawn tools and power equipment, then confirm transport requirements.
FURNITURE
Leave finishes alone
Avoid polishing furniture just before a move; discuss wrapping and protection with the crew.
LARGE ITEMS
Flag them early
Pianos, safes, and awkward pieces need the right crew and equipment. Mention them when requesting an estimate.
A MOVING DAY NOTE
Show the crew where things belong.
A quick walk-through at both ends helps the team protect the right pieces and place furniture where you want it. Keep your move contact available for questions.
