Leave It to the Pros: Items That You Shouldn't Move On Your Own

At Bird’s Moving, we respect our clients’ wishes to do the bulk of the packing and moving on their own. In fact, we offer packing supplies to our customers to help them organize and move the contents of their home. However, when it comes to moving big items like pianos, appliances, hot tubs or treasured heirlooms, moving is best left to the professionals!

So, while you may be confident that you can tackle the smaller items around the house, like dishes, clothing and other essentials, heavy or delicate items like pianos, antiques and even your appliances should always be moved by a professional mover. Bird’s Moving has a knowledgeable team that has the training, tools and expertise necessary to disassemble, pack and transport your hard-to-move household items! As a St. Catharines moving company, we know precisely what to do to keep not only your items, but also you and your family members, safe.   

Leave the Heavy Stuff to Bird’s Moving and Storage!

Have you even tried to move a piano or fridge on your own? No? Well, there’s a reason for that! Bulky, awkward items or even precious valuables can be difficult for many homeowners to move around the interior of their house, let alone outside of it.

Here are just a few of the many ways that movers can help you avoid unwanted damages to your valuable items and your home:

• Experience: Our moving team moves items for a living, which means that they are aware of the unique challenges that come with moving, including how to disassemble specific items, the number of people needed to safely move a fridge, and, most importantly, what they can do to mitigate damage to your home and belongings.
• Equipment: In addition to qualified employees, our St. Catharines moving company possesses specialized equipment that is designed specifically for moving large or awkward-shaped items. Our dollies, ramps, straps and floor runners allows our team to maneuver furniture, art or appliances with ease. We also offer specialized packing options for paintings, TVs and other fragile pieces that require protection during your move.
• Patience: Moving heavy items safely and efficiently is an art! Our professional movers rely on their experience to ensure that they’re handling all items with the appropriate attention and care. Our goal is to move your items properly, not as fast as humanly possible—a mistake which some homeowners are liable to make when they attempt to pack up their house themselves. Our free home consultation gives our team insight into your home’s size, layout and contents to ensure that you are getting the best service possible.

Here are a few household items that are best left to the professionals:

• Pianos: Start your move off on a sweet note by hiring our St. Catharines moving company to pack up your piano! In addition to using straps, floor protection and even ramps, our team can assess the location of the piano to determine the most secure and safe way to move your instrument.
• Appliances: Are you taking an appliance with you? When moving a fridge, dishwasher, stove or freezer, our team always recommends getting your items professionally serviced before you move to ensure that the item is in an ideal condition for moving—servicing gas stoves or ovens is especially important.
• Antiques: Whether it’s an heirloom curio cabinet, antique painting or delicate crystal, preserving the integrity of your family’s treasures requires extra attention to detail throughout the moving process. Our movers will determine how to best manage the packing of your most vulnerable items so that you can continue to enjoy them in your new home.
