A Step-by-Step Guide to the Big Day

Moving day is high-energy and can be stressful. Knowing exactly what happens from the moment the truck arrives helps you stay in control.

1. The Arrival and Walkthrough

The team leader will do a walkthrough of your home. Point out exactly what stays, what goes, and what is extremely fragile.

2. The Packing Phase

Expect a lot of noise and activity. Professionals will wrap large furniture and pack boxes systematically. It usually takes 3-6 hours depending on the house size.

3. Loading and Inventory

As items are loaded, they are tagged and listed on an inventory sheet. You must review and sign this before the truck leaves.
