Hiring professional packers facilitates the moving process. Since they’re familiar with techniques to store items safely and quickly, they can do the job systematically and go through rooms faster. There are some steps you’ll want to ensure they take to protect your possessions, however. To prepare you for your appointment, here are some of the steps to request your packers take when handling your belongings.

Ask Your Professional Packers to Do This

1. Take Inventory Before Beginning

Request that your packers do a walk-through of your home before beginning. They’ll need to look around the entire property to determine the scale of the project. As a homeowner, be ready to answer their questions on what you’ll be taking with you and what you won’t. 

2. Wrap Furniture

Professional packers have all kinds of tricks when it comes to wrapping furniture. To make packing and moving easier, they may dismantle your furniture and cover the pieces in bubble wrap to protect delicate parts. Larger, less fragile parts are covered in a moving blanket and secured with tape. They also use corrugated cardboard to protect the corners of the furniture and shrink wrap them so that they stay in place. If you have any special requests on how to handle certain pieces, inform your crew before they begin. 

3. Protect Frames & Mirrors

Mirrors, frames, and artwork require special care when packing to prevent damage. Professionals typically wrap these items in bubble wrap or wrapping paper before placing them in flat boxes. Ask that they leave an inch of space on top and fill it with a towel or wrapping paper before sealing so your fragile items are safe inside a moving vehicle.
