While Bellhop Pros can disassemble and reassemble furniture, you may choose to expedite the duration of your move (and therefore save money) by taking apart furniture yourself. Here are some tips for furniture disassembly and assembly:
- Plan time to break down furniture that will be too large to fit through doorways, down staircases, or inside elevators.
- Keep all hardware and screws in clearly labeled plastic bags.
- Bellhop Pros cannot disassemble workout equipment, so plan to do this task yourself or make other arrangements for your heavy gym equipment.
- Bellhop Pros cannot dismount TVs or other pieces of furniture/equipment that are mounted to your walls. Be sure to have any items dismounted and packed up prior to your movers' arrival.
Equipment, Tools, and Blankets
If your order includes hourly labor services, your moving team will not arrive with tools. Our movers specialize in moving services rather than assembly. However, provided that you have the necessary tools and instructions, they will be happy to assist you. Please note that they cannot disassemble or reassemble gym equipment or large or specialty items, such as bunk beds, Sleep Number beds, appliances, or electronics.
If you have booked a local or long-distance move that includes a Bellhop-provided truck, the movers will arrive equipped with a tool set and moving equipment, including dollies and blankets.
Please note that Bellhop trucks typically arrive with 20–25 moving blankets to pad and wrap your furniture. If you would like additional blankets used during your move, please provide them to your crew upon their arrival on moving day.
