Answers to all your moving and storage questions

Have pressing questions about your upcoming move or storage options? See below for some general answers to commonly asked questions:

Commercial Moving
What precautions do you take to make sure you don’t damage my items or the building?
We take extra care in packing and wrapping your belongings so nothing gets damaged. Our commercial moving crew knows exactly how to maneuver large and bulky equipment through tight spaces. Of course, we take extra precautions by putting up cardboard and mattress pads along the walls so we don’t leave any scuffs or scratches in the building. If something does happen to your current or new building, we are insured so we will work with the building for reimbursement.
