Moving Oversized Items
How to Move Overly Large Items
Moving to a new place is fun and exciting, but the work to get everything moved is not. Everything needs to be packed, brought to the new place, and unpacked. Then there is the task of moving the larger, oversized items, which are even more difficult. But there are some tricks that can help with this tedious task.
Wrap the Items
Moving large items is difficult enough without having to worry about dinging and scratching walls along the way — not to mention the damage that could occur to your items. Wrapping any items that have sharp edges with towels, sheets or bubble wrap will save on headaches down the road.
Disassemble What You Can
When you are moving larger items, it is typically much easier to do when you remove any extra parts that you can. Many couches or bed frames have removable legs which will make it a little easier to get through doorways and around corners.
The drawers within dressers should be removed as well. Removing the drawers will make it lighter and easier to move. It will also remove the risk of the drawer falling out during the move.
Remove the Door and Hinges
In some cases, it is important to give yourself just another inch. When you are trying to move large items through a doorway, you may need to remove the door and hinges so you have some extra room. It may not seem like the hinges from a door would make much of a difference, but sometimes it is just enough space to get your items through.
Get Friends and Family to Help
Moving by yourself is a difficult, and sometimes impossible, task. You can manage with moving the boxes, but when it comes to the big stuff it is too hard to do by yourself. Getting friends and family to at least help you with the big stuff will make it a little easier.
Hire a Gainesville Moving Company
Instead of having to move all the furniture and oversized items from one place to the next yourself, it may be best to hire professional Gainesville movers. They have the knowledge and experience in moving that will make it easier for them to do. You would not have to worry about lifting the heavy items or dinging up walls when you go with Gainesville moving.
