Doorway and banister protection on a Kansas City move

A doorway is a width. A banister is what the dresser kisses if we miss. Floors and the stair runner are how we protect floors and rails. Furniture pads are how we pad and wrap furniture. This page is the jamb and the spindle. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”

From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. White glove is more corners treated before they meet paint — white glove, white glove vs standard. Damage: [TIM'S DAMAGE POLICY]. What I will honour: [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR]. A tip is not a jamb warranty — tipping.

What we pad on the house

• Door casings on the load path — not every closet in an unused wing
• The tight well where a piece has to turn — stairs and tight turns, furniture that will not turn
• Banister and newel when the stair is the job — walk-ups
• Elevator door frames if we are using the car — elevator reservations
• Not a wrap on every spindle in a four-bed if we load through the garage — garage as a room

Tell us if the paint is new. A photo of the landing and the jamb beats “be careful” — photos that get a written price. Video: video walkthrough. Walk when the well is the job: what a walkthrough looks like. New construction trim that is not on yet: new-construction.

When the doorway is the stop

A sofa that will not turn does not get nicer because we padded the casing. We measure first. A third on the landing is a third who can hold the piece off the newel — when you need a third, how we staff three. Town home switchback: town homes. HOA that wants their own pads: HOA. Long carry then a tight door: long carry and shuttle.

A piano on a Brookside jamb is a piano first — piano moves, baby grand ([REAL JOB] stays). A china cabinet face cannot take a tip into a casing — china and glass. A safe on a bulkhead door: safes. Ice: we will not pad a glass stair and call it safe — winter moving day, rain and ice. Heat: July and August.

Banisters that were never drawn for a dresser

A smaller place with a ranch sofa: measure the new jamb — moving into a smaller place. First apartment metal rail: first apartment.

What we will not pretend

If the day runs long we do not skip the jamb to hurry — what we do if it runs long. How long: how long a local move takes. Kids and pets off the rail — kids and pets. A landlord walkthrough is their punch list — landlord walkthrough.

Packing still has to finish so open boxes are not the thing hitting the casing — what to pack first, how to pack a kitchen. Per box: standard $10–20, wardrobe $25–30, dish pack $30–40 — packing.
