Do you guys move furniture?

Talking about roofs, what I'm going to tell you is the truth, I watched him do it and saw the end result.

Years ago, one of my neighbours built a storage shed ( Cabano in Quebec ) and put two sepetate layers of shingles............His reasoning was that in 5 or 10 years, shingles will be more expensive and when the top layer dries up and becomes brittle, he just has to remove it and have a fresh new layer already installed........true story,

nightrider, I may change my idea on moving furn. Only because I was PO'ed when the roofers left a few nail on the drive way but realy the worst place of debris was in the attic. .

Great Topic!  I, like most of the others, do not move large furniture, if the customer wants a couch or chair moved, no biggie, If the customer insists on everything being moved I get them to sign a waver that states I am not responsible for anything damaged, and they pay the big bucks. Time is money.. 

LETS' CLEAN UP THE DIRT IN THIS TOWN!!

KELPRO and CMASTER are you saying that the RICH carpet cleaners like you; move all the furniture because there is nothing that you can't afford to replace?

I ask the customers to remove as much small furniture from the room being cleaned as possible. Any small pieces of furniture such as magazine racks, plants, end tables and any other small furniture. And to also Remove all breakable items such as pictures, vases, lamps and other miscellaneous items from furniture tops, which we will be moving.

There are some pieces of furniture we will not move and clean around. Examples include china cabinets, entertainment centers, desks, pianos, appliances and bookcases, grandfather clocks, aquariums and other furniture that is difficult to move. (Unless they are empty.)

If they wish to have the under there beds or furniture cleaned we ask them not to load them up with other furniture or items.

If dressers or chests are heavy we ask them to remove the drawers.

We move the sofa, love seat, large chairs, and dining room table and other mid-size furniture

We do not move furniture that may or will damage the pieces of furniture, the flooring, or the contents.

We use Lift Buddy, sliders, tabs and block to protect the furniture and flooring.

A few sets of sliders and the job goes fast.

I think this is one of the posts that everybody reads different. I bet most of you that say you don’t move furniture do move the sofa and such: and the rest of you that say you do move the furniture don’t move full bookcases and china cabinets.

Give the customers a Cleaning preparation list and everyone is happy  

I move the furniture. If it is a china closet or a dresser for example they have to remove everything from inside it.

keep it gully when you move furniture.
