General Tips
- Have all boxes sealed on top and bottom with tape. This prevents your items from falling out.
- Have all boxes labeled with their room destination.
- Wrap pictures and have them boxed and sealed.
- Stack lamp shades inside each other and box them. This will prevent any punctures or damage.
- Books should be packed tightly in small, sealed boxes.
- Remove pendulums from clocks or have them secured tightly to the base of the clock.
- Grandfather clocks should be secured by a clock man.
- Have all fragile articles packed and secured separately in durable marked boxes.
- Have light-colored cushions (couch, love seat, etc.) bagged in large trash bags.
- You should keep all valuables in your immediate possession. These items should be moved by the owner: jewelry, watches, money, legal documents, etc.

- We recommend contacting the Better Business Bureau at 757-531-1300 for business rating when booking a moving company.
Bedrooms
- Clothing may be left in dresser drawers.

- Have all kitchen utensils, pots, and pans clean and packed in boxes.
Garage
