While many residents choose to pack their own belongings away for a move, hiring a packing and moving company can hold many benefits. Designed to Move, a local Grosse Pointe movers and packers company, is owned by James Height. In this article he explains the benefits of hiring a packing and moving company, as well as how to prepare for such a move.

Hiring a Grosse Pointe packing and moving company “takes the error out of packing things improperly,” says Height. When items are damaged during a move, it is rarely due to boxes falling or begin crushed. Instead, the main cause for damages happens due to items being poorly packed into the box in the first place. Placing items away in ways that will provide security and cushioning is important to making sure your belongings remain safe.

The process that occurs when hiring a Grosse Pointe packer and mover company will ...
... depend upon the size of your home. For the typical home, the packing will be done the day before the move. Although, the packers will leave the beds and any items set aside by the homeowners untouched. This will allow the family to sleep comfortably in their home before the moving day.

The day of the move, the movers will arrive at a pre-determined time, and because everything has been organized and packed away the day prior, it makes for a simple process to load the truck and move you to your new home. “It works very smoothly when we have that extra day (to pack),” says Height.

With condos and apartments, because of their smaller size, it is possible for these jobs to be completed in one day. Homes that are larger than the typical 4-bedroom house may take a few additional days to completely move.

In order to make the process happen as smoothly as possible, Height recommends giving the Grosse Pointe packers and movers as much information as possible to help in this process. “The more information we know ahead of time in terms of what is going to be packed, what is staying, and where things will end up, the better,” says Height.

Designed to Move is also trained in handling the largest items in your home, such as pianos and clocks. These items can not only be expensive, but may have immeasurable worth to you and your family. Therefore, you will want to ensure the company you hire has had training and experience moving items such as your own. Designed to Move has experience moving all sizes of pianos, organs, gun safes, and pool tables, among others.
