Why Moving Companies Are Essential For Moving Fragile Furniture

Moving anywhere at all, whether across town or across the country, can be a stressful endeavor. From packing up everything you own, to deciding on a reputable moving company, to then unpacking in your new home, it’s a lot to take on. Moving companies, such as Allegiance Van Lines, LLC, exist to help make the process as smooth and easy as possible.

Aside from the convenience of having other people pack up your belongings, professional movers are beneficial for moving fragile items, such as glass tables, art, pianos, and other breakable items. Having your friends help out is great, and certainly saves you money, but they likely lack the right packing materials to prevent dents or scratches. They also are not insured if anything should get damaged.

When packing items that require extra care, there’s no place like Allegiance Van Lines for the job. Read on to learn more about why professional furniture movers are essential for all your delicate items.

Some Items Are Truly Priceless

Many people own antiques, heirlooms, and other possessions that have been in their families for generations. Others may possess items that are highly valuable in the antique market, and thus cannot incur any damages for future resale value.

However, often what makes an item truly priceless is all the memories associated with it. The grand piano your grandmother played is unlike any modern replacement should something happen to the original. But one dent from hitting a wall on the way into the truck can not only damage your home, but change the way it sounds forever.

Replacing broken items is expensive, but some items are too priceless to incur that kind of risk. Our movers have been trained in handling valuable items at every step: from being carried outside the home, stored in the truck, and then unloaded into your new space.

What else makes furniture movers necessary? Here are just a few additional reasons:

We Specialize In Narrow Transportation

You may not realize just how narrow some hallways are until it’s time to fit a sectional through it. Other narrow passageways may include staircases and doorways. Figuring out how to maneuver large items, such as king-sized mattresses, through there can be tricky for the inexperienced, but not for us. We are trained to fit large, bulky items through narrow passageways without ruining them.

We Handle Large Appliances

Many people choose to leave behind their refrigerators, washing machines, and dishwashers, expecting their new home to also carry those amenities. But if you have a machine you particularly love, you can take it with you. Because these items are some of the heaviest in your home, professional furniture movers will definitely come in handy.

Using dollies and straps, we can move these items without damaging the floors. This is a much safer solution than moving it all yourself, risking damage and injury to yourself.

We Can Ship Your Vehicle

Your car also counts as a fragile transport item. Your vehicle – be it a sedan, a truck, or a motorcycle – can be protected by a specialty moving team as well.

Your Pool Table Will Be Protected

Large items like pool tables need to be carefully disassembled to protect them, as well as reduce the amount of space inside the truck. Professional furniture movers have mastered the art of disassembly, transportation, and reassembly, along with careful placement within the truck to prevent scratching or shifting.

Your Hot Tub Requires Extra Care

Hot tubs are one of the best examples of a complex, fragile furniture item. There are multiple steps involved in getting it ready before it even gets into the truck: the water must be drained, the electrical and plumbing pieces must be disconnected, and then the porcelain basin must be carefully lifted. It will then be reinstalled at the new location with the same care demonstrated throughout the moving process.

With all the fine details involved in a move, this is one more thing you won’t have to stress about on the big day.

Additional Considerations For Moving Fragile Furniture

Moving day can be full of unexpected scenarios: a thrown-out back, or inclement weather, for example. Hiring specialty furniture movers offers you the following benefits:

We Can Ensure Their Safety

Friends and relatives helping you move may mean well, but ultimately can’t ensure the safety of your belongings in transit. We take a detailed inventory of your items, noting any existing marks before the move begins with photographic evidence. This way, we protect both our workers and our customers.

We Use High Quality Packing Materials And Expertise

The average household doesn’t tend to have anti-tarnish wraps or cushioned boxes, but professional furniture movers do. In addition, we have the training required to handle fragile items in transit. We also have special training to disassemble and reassemble complex furniture.
