Moving in Inclement Weather - How does it work?

During the snowy winter season here in Ohio, a question that we get frequently from clients is “how do you protect our stuff when it’s snowing out?” This is a fair question for anyone to ask. In the moving industry we take certain precautions to protect our client’s household items when the weather isn’t cooperating.

Protecting the floors is one of the major concerns for every customer. When the crew enters the home to begin the move, they should immediately lay down a layer of floor protection in the entryway. As they progress through the home with the customer, they will create a path of floor protection for each room as well as cover the stairs with rug runners (pictured above).  As the furniture is being moved from the home and into the truck the crew takes special care to pad wrap each piece completely before it leaves the home. These moving pads protect the furniture from any outside elements as well as protecting the furniture from any nicks or dings. Although this should be included with every local and long-distance move, it may be something you ask your mover before booking the job.
