Moving furniture the right way is essential to preserve the furniture and to avoid any injuries to those moving the furniture. Like most things, there’s a wrong and right way of moving furniture. Here, you’ll learn a little about how we get things done the right way, regardless of where or what type of furniture you are moving.

Moving Process

Our team of Houston TX Local Furniture Movers follows the best methods in the industry. After all, we want to make sure your furniture remains intact throughout the whole process. You can learn more about how we’ll get the job done by contacting our team at your earliest convenience. As a professional moving company, our team members have years of experience. This experience is useful, as it includes moving experience.

One of the most important parts that our professional movers take part in is thorough preparation. Before you get ready to roll up your sleeves, you should make sure to prepare as much as possible. Our team does so by:

• Clearing a wide pathway
• Measuring furniture to make sure it fits through the path
• Making a clear, physical endpoint where they’ll  be dropped

Disassembling Furniture

When disassembling furniture, there are ways to make the process smoother and safer for everyone involved. With our team of experienced professionals, you can rest easy knowing that process will be completed easily and smoothly.

When removing table legs, you should immediately reattach nuts and bolts that are holding the leg in place. This keeps screws from disappearing. When unscrewing a flat-screen TV mount, losing screws can definitely be easy. That’s why it’s important to use a screwdriver with a magnetic head.

For dresser mirrors, we always remove them and pack them up properly. Any detachable dresser mirrors will ask for tons of special attention in order to move them. Furthermore, dining chairs aren’t often designed to be taken apart easily. Regardless, the chairs have exposed screws or bolts. There could be a way to disassemble them.

Moving Furniture through Doorways

Moving furniture through doorways is always going to be a tough task to accomplish. There are a few things you can do, though, to make things easier for yourself and everyone involved. Here are some of the methods that can be used when aiming to move furniture through tough angles.

Angling

If your sofa is too wide to fit through the doorways of your building or home, there are some solutions that may help you. The simplest way to do so is tilting it to 45 degrees (more or less) to let the front edge of the cushions and top of the back align vertically. This also makes the bottom rear edge of the couch look like it’s sticking out, but this actually makes the couch narrower.

Curling

If the couch is still too wide to fit through the doorway, the solution you can resort is standing on the end of it and curling it through. By laying down a blanket first, you’ll help slide the couch smoothly through the doorway. To do so efficiently, you have to ease the top back edge through first, and then curl the sofa around the side of the doorway close so you can ski the rest of the couch. You can also use this strategy to get larger chairs through narrow doors.

Detaching

If you find that you need a few extra inches of clearance before the sofa pops out the doorway, you should try detaching the legs or feet of the sofa.

Although there are instances where all you can remove are short squares of wood, it is definitely important to try this as doing so can be the difference between a success and a damaged door jamb. Sometimes, the only solution is removing the door from its hinges in order to get the couch out the door. While not difficult, you do need a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to through coax those hinge pins out, in addition to a couple of extra sets of hands to keep the door in place while the pins pop free.

Moving Furniture Up and Down Stairs

Moving large and heavy furniture down and up staircases can definitely be a dangerous proposition when you don’t take it slow and make sure to do it the right way. For one, the one thing that can help is doing so with more than one person. Banisters, walls, and hanging light fixtures can all cause problems in the process of moving.

When sliding items around corners on landings, you should use a blanket and place it underneath the object you’re moving. When doing so, place the blanket down, and this will make it easier to slide while avoiding damage to whatever it is you’re moving and the floor.

Preparing to Move Furniture

If you’re moving to a new home, our team of Houston TX Local Furniture Movers is here to help. The first thing to do is taking inventory of the items that will be moved. Our team will measure doorways and hallways prior to moving anything. We so to make sure that everything will fit through elevators, stairwells, hallways, and doorways. In some fortunate cases, moves can be completed without the need to take anything apart. However, if you have large pieces of furniture, such as choices, you’ll have to make certain adjustments to keep them from being damaged.
