First‑Timer FAQ

How far in advance should I book movers?
7–14 days is ideal; same‑week is often possible.
Do I need to empty dressers?
If there are long stairs or heavy solid wood — yes; otherwise case‑by‑case.
Will you pack my kitchen?
Yes — dish‑packs, paper, glass dividers; labeled by cabinet.
What if my elevator/HOA has a strict window?
We align crew size and may stage a second truck to hit the window.
