There are some important things to remember when you're
moving that a lot of people just simply forget.
Helping Hands Moving
wants to help make your moving experience as smooth as possible. That's why we've gathered a few tips and tricks that you might want to take into account before you even start.
Top 5 Moving Tips
- Clean out desks and Nightstands: if you have a lot of small items in drawers you may want to store them in a separate ziplock bag as drawers can be turned sideways at times
- Remove shelves from bookcase: put them next to the piece and put the shelf pins in an envelope or ziplock bag.
- If possible personally carry pictures and plants: Plants are living and can go into shock and avoid any possible accidents to personal pictures by carrying them personally.
- Remove Mirrors and glass surfaces from furniture: Sometimes dressers and tables have a detachable glass or mirrors. Take the time to remove these so they can be packed separately
- Label Boxes: Label boxes correctly according to what's in them, if its fragile, and what room it belongs in
Other Tips
- Mattress bags are a good investment to protect beds from getting dirty or wet.
- We can also provide shrink-wrapping.
- Don’t forget to safely store the hardware.
- Our movers will break down beds if you want to avoid the heavy lifting.

Items we can’t move
