Everything boxed and taped shut, stacked 4ft high, and staged in a central loading location such as the garage and living room. Have beds broken down and other furniture such as dresser mirrors, table legs, and multi-piece desk dissembled. Either box up or stack pictures neatly for efficient loading. Interior or exteriors doors removed if necessary. Fridge doors removed if necessary. Lighter items brought up or down from basements and 2nd floors. On occasion we do get snow. Please have driveways and walkways clear of snow. We can do that, but it will add to your time.
We are not asking you to do our job, but the more prep you do, the less it takes to load and delivery
