When moving your family to Potomac, protecting your home is just as important as keeping your belongings safe! Movers.com knows the best ways to do this and tells all in a new guide.
The sound of your grand piano scratching your hardwood floor is not something you want to hear on moving day. There goes that security deposit! Instead, keep your house protected with these tips by the expert moving professionals at Movers.com!
The new guide is part of an ongoing series focused on moving day preparations. Other guides have examined strategies for packing your belongings - but this one reveals ways to protect your home.
Whether it’s the property you’re leaving or your new house, Movers.com knows the importance of taking measures to prevent damage caused by moving objects. Bulky furniture and heavy appliances pose a particular risk of leaving unsightly marks on your floors and walls if moved in an unsafe manner. The unwelcome result? Costly repair work.
Movers.com outlines several supplies to shield areas including doors, frames, stairs, wall corners, and more. Among these, moving blankets are showcased as a useful accessory - equally suited to protecting items and surfaces.
“Another good idea would be to wrap the blanket around your stair railings by hanging it on the wall and fastening it on the floors,” notes the guide. “With this, you can avoid damage due to accidental hits, drops, and bumps while moving things on the stairs.”
Hardwood floors and carpets mean you and your movers need to be extra careful. This is exactly why Movers.com points to blankets, tarps, rugs, cloths, and cut-up cardboard boxes as useful items to protect the floor from scuff marks.
The guide also recommends using moving dollies, straps, and sliders. Depending on the makeshift pathways laid out, these can be used to move heavy objects across floors with significantly less effort - and lower the risk of damage.
Of course, the best way to protect your home’s surfaces and structures - as well as your belongings - is to hire professional movers. The company website features a directory of vetted companies with experience providing heavy-duty moving equipment for large-scale family moves in Potomac and across the United States.
Don’t sweat it - hire top crews to keep your home protected during your move.
