Introduction

I'm here to support you with moving, loading and storing heavy furniture, household and outdoor items, preparing for relocation, packing, organizing storage spaces (sheds, attics, basements etc.). You can count on the best of care with your belongings and Tetris like packing abilities.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

My pricing includes travel charges, moving equipment (rollers, dollies, blankets etc.) to safely move, store and pack furniture and belongings safely without damage.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Aligning on requirements well ahead of project, open communication and transparency relating to project.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Almost 2 decades of experience relocating friends, family and local communities. This has included renting properly sized vehicles, clearing 5-bedroom houses worth of furniture and belongings, packing up entire houses worth of belongings safely, driving to next destination, unpacking and moving people into their new homes.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Helping friends and family, which then landed at helping older families, single-parents and disabled patrons.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Local communities, the elderly, disabled patrons, friends, family.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I securely packed a 16ft long U-Haul (which was prepaid by the customer) which I loaded with 3-4 rooms worth of furniture (dressers, China cabinets, book shelves, dining table, chairs). The approximate load weight was ~1,000lbs, with individual items being anywhere from 20-150lbs. I then unloaded and moved the furniture into the new home without any damage to either the furniture, floors or walls in the home.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Ask lots of questions and have a clear idea of what you expect done.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

1) What equipment do you have to complete the job? 2) How long will it take roughly? 3) Is there any prep to do beforehand? 4) Whatever you feel necessary
