The best defense for a damage-free move is hiring trained professionals, like those at Olympia Moving & Storage. The second best defense is properly protecting your furniture and home.
Our crew always comes equipped with the right materials to protect your property. Just like how you would want to use paper and bubble wrap to pack your fragiles in a box, it’s always a good idea to have your crew “pack” your furniture and home.
Here’s the materials professional movers use to protect your furniture and home:
Roll Up Floor Protection
Whether you’re trying to keep the origin in tip top shape for the new owners or keeping your new home as perfect as it was when you got the keys, we know it’s essential to protect your floors. This protection shields carpets to keep even the whitest carpets clear of dirt. This material rolls on easily and cleans up quickly.
Masonite
Masonite sheets are laid onto hardwood floors to keep them scratch-free from moving furniture, boots, and dollies.
Door Jamb Protection
Cushioning to protect door jambs from scrapes during your move, even when the movers are getting the largest pieces out the door.
Wall Protection
Made of corrugated plastic that will not rip or tear, the crew will often put this on the walls of tight spaces to avoid nicks and bumps on the wall, especially since many clients freshly paint their home!
Plastic Wrap
The crew will quickly wrap upholstered furniture to keep it clean throughout the move. Wrapping furniture with drawers is also handy for keeping those drawers shut during transit.
Furniture pads
Essential for keeping furniture scratch-free, the crew will wrap the furniture in these padded blankets then secure them with tape.
Item labels
For items going into interstate or into storage, a detailed, numbered inventory will be made. The crew will also put stickers with the corresponding inventory number on the boxes and furniture to keep everything organized and avoid loss. While packing, we also recommend clients use our free, downloadable box labels. These color-coded labels help the crew identify what’s going into each room, expediting the delivery.
