Hiring a full-service moving company will make your moving process a lot easier. A professional moving company will take care of the most difficult aspects of your move, whether it is interstate or to a new neighborhood around NYC.
Liffey Van Lines has been moving New York City since 1975 and still offers an array of moving services, from fine-art moving to furniture handling and much more. If you are unsure of what to expect from full-service movers, here is how the service typically works.
What should you expect from a full-service moving company?
1. Packing materials
One thing you should receive from your moving company is packing materials. You will not be expected to have packing materials of your own, which is a plus. If you already have reusable boxes, that always helps.
To decide on the materials necessary for a move, we will need an estimate of what you are moving. Liffey can do this through a home inspection, which will help identify bulky, fragile, and important goods. Aside from supplying packing materials, full-service movers can aid in packing everything during the move. This helps protect your belongings and saves time.
2. Disassembling of furniture
Movers will make dismantling furniture a lot lighter and quicker. With the correct tools and plenty of experience, we will take care of your furniture, wrap it accordingly, and transport it in a safe and secure manner.
We will disassemble heavy and bulky goods for easier transportation. This helps your items arrive at your new destination in good condition. Not only will we disassemble your furniture, but we will also reassemble it in your new home. Whether it is office furniture, your children’s beds, or a dining table, we are here to help.
3. Transportation
Full-service movers are accountable for your transportation needs. We worry about the distance and logistics, so you do not have to. There is no need to worry about loading and offloading your furniture. Liffey handles stacking, moving your items to the required destination, then the offloading.
4. Unpacking
The last thing you need to worry about is unpacking items, including furniture. Following the layout of your new home, we can take care of unloading and unpacking in your new home or business.
All you must do is label your items correctly so we know where to go, and being present also makes things easier. Liffey has the unpacking equipment, manpower, and experience needed to unpack items correctly.
5. Disposal of unwanted packaging
Packing involves a lot of cardboard and packing items. If possible, we will reuse packing items again to reduce waste. If this is not possible, we will dispose of waste responsibly. Excess waste in your new premises is not something you want to see, and as full-service movers we will gladly take care of this for you.
6. Storage solutions
One thing that makes Liffey a little different is that we also offer storage solutions for our customers. Whether it is long-term or short-term, storage in upper Manhattan and upstate New York may come in useful, especially if you are downsizing or moving in stages. If you require storage, call the office and we will check what we can do for you. Not all full-service movers can offer this option.
7. Final words
Full-service movers take care of the largest and most complicated aspects of your move. This allows you to plan the other necessary arrangements throughout New York or cross-country. If a service you require is not mentioned here, contact Liffey and we will see what we can do for you.
