What a moving walkthrough looks like

A walkthrough is the path. Stair, sit, awkward pieces. We already know what a sofa looks like. Two ZIP codes start a number — Get my price. Photos that get a written price finish most local jobs. This page is when we come to the house. Video instead of a visit is the next page. We will not write “licensed and insured.”

From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. I quote the jobs and I am on most of them — about. A walkthrough is not a sales tour. It is so the number matches the landing.

When we ask to walk it

• A walk-up plus a piano or a piece that may not turn — walk-ups, furniture that will not turn
• A long lot or a sit we cannot read from a phone photo — long carry and shuttle, parking
• White glove on finished floors — white glove, white glove vs standard
• Estate or a house that is still deciding — estate and inherited, what you are not taking
• A smaller destination that may not take the sectional — moving into a smaller place

A ranch with a garage and a clear photo set usually does not need us on the porch first. A Brookside third floor with a baby grand does — baby grand ([REAL JOB] stays), piano moves. After you request a price we will say if we need to see it — after you request a price.

What we walk

Curb to door. Door to the heavy rooms. Basement flight if laundry or a safe lives there — basement washers, safes. Garage as a room — garage, Blue Springs garage-first. The unload end if it is the tighter one — town home hall, elevator door, new-construction mud — town homes, elevator reservations, new-construction. Stairs: stairs and tight turns. HOA paper if you have it — HOA.

We are not inventorying knick-knacks. We will ask which rooms we pack — packing. We will ask what is not coming — how to thin out. A landlord walkthrough is their clipboard, not this visit — landlord walkthrough. Keys late is a different morning — keys late.

How long we stay

Most walkthroughs are short if the path is obvious. A four-bed with a piano and a basement can take longer. We will not linger for a coffee chat while the board is full. Week-before confirm is still a phone call — what movers need the week before. What to tell us if we are not coming: what to tell us. How we quote from ZIPs: how we quote from two ZIP codes.

What we will not do on the visit

We will not pack a sample box as a demo. We will not commit a Saturday we have not written. We will not invent insurance figures. We will not write interstate because you mentioned a relative out of state. Closing day and the crew is still the title clock — closing day. Partial leftover: partial moves. Split pickup: split pickup.

Awkward we will name if we see it: pianos, hot tubs — hot tub moves, pool tables, china — china and glass. Fridge and washer if they are coming — fridge prep, washer and dryer. Beds: beds. Pad and wrap: how we pad and wrap.

Packing talk on the walkthrough
