Partial residential moves consist of the client providing all their wrapping and packing material for the move, packing all the small and miscellaneous items into boxes and have disassembled any item and furniture, ready for the movers.

  • The movers may shrink wrap furniture and any items as needed (at additional cost to the client), load all household items and furniture into the moving truck and deliver their items to their new place.
  • Unwrapping and reassembly of the furniture and placing them in their location as requested by the client.
  • Remove all waste for disposal (at additional cost to the client) if required by the client.
  • This is the most common type of move. Most of the time, it can be done in a few hours or within a day, depending on the amount of content.
