Avoid applying oil or wax to wooden antiques or furniture when you are in the moving process to make these stuff easy to handle. Remove fragile and heavy items from drawers. Carry small items like jewelry, coins and some other breakable things with you. Secure your house pets (if you have) and clear walkways for the smoothness of the moving process.

For your moving ease, have your boxes with labels and secure it with lids and tapes. Mark boxes on two sides and not on top. Label boxes that contain delicate contents with "fragile" and have them packed with sufficient padding. Boxes that are 1.5 cubic ft. in height or smaller are advisable for books, paper and other heavy materials. A box this size roughly weights 70 lbs. You may stack boxes in one area four to five boxes high for easy hand-truck access. If you need someone to help you in the packing process, call us immediately and we will attend to your request two days prior in your moving date. We can't do the packing on the day of your move. Applicable labor and material charges apply.

Make sure to unplug all television sets 24 hours in advance of the move to make these be set at room temperature on the moving day. Because if you move a TV set in heat it will lead to internal damage. Electrical appliances like computers, DVD's and the like must be packed in its original container or in its same degree of protection. We will move these items even without proper packing but we are not liable to certain circumstances that may occur.

Artworks such as pictures, prints, paintings and the like must be properly packed in boxes with bubble wrap and labeled with "Art" or "Fragile". Again, we can move these items without proper packing but accept no responsibility for damage that may occur in transit.

We can move small dressers with full load if the dresser does not have weak legs or not an antique one. Big dresser drawers should be emptied.

Items constructed out of particleboard and like man-made material are not design to be moved and are prone to failure. Our professional team will warn you of possible problems due to construction materials. We do not insure these items for any reason of failure.

Two drawer filing cabinets may be left full whilst small four drawer filing cabinets may be left full if no stairs are involved in its transport. Desks, lateral files, storage cabinets, credenzas, and bookcases must be emptied prior to moving.

We advise that you to have your washer and drier disconnected before our arrival if possible.  We will disconnect them and even reconnect them for you if you wish, but since we are not plumbers we will accept no liability for any water damage that may occur by disconnecting or reconnecting those appliances. Same rule applies for refrigerators with water connection. Refrigerators and freezers must be emptied of all contents prior to moving.

Secure any soft material such as sheets, blankets, comforters and pillows in strong garbage bags and tied in a knot.

If you have requested that we move your hanging clothes in your closets please prepare them in one of two fashions:

To save time please have all beds disassembled prior to our arrival. We will gladly take over in disassembling your beds but this will take extra time and effort and additional costs will incur.

If your home has a garage or storage locker, please make sure all contents are already boxed up. Long handled items such as rakes, shovels and the likes should be taped together from top to bottom. This must be done to avoid accidents.

If you live in, or are moving into a building with an elevator, please reserve an appropriate time slot for your move.  Small elevators require additional time to complete your move.  Also, our trucks are between 12'' and 13".6` high and some buildings or loading docks are not capable of accommodating this height causing additional time to be incurred to complete the move.  Please check and advise us at once in situations such as this.

If you are moving into a storage facility, additional time may be required if your storage unit is only accessible by elevator or down a long hallway. When leasing space, request a unit as close to an exit or elevator as possible. Fine furniture or other delicate items are best stored in a climate-controlled environment. To know more, inquire with your storage company for other details.

Pianos. We move pianos using proper equipments and techniques for any of these types-spinet, upright, and organ. To prevent any damages to your piano, we will move it only after it meet the following conditions:

Plants. All plants should be empty of water at least 2 days before moving to prevent any water damage to your belongings. The best way to move household plants is to put them inside open boxes.

Our company will not be responsible for any water damage caused by the plants if you failed to comply with the aforementioned conditions.

We do not move the following items:

• Hot tubs
• Firewood
• Hazardous materials
• Gasoline
• Paint
• Construction materials
• Used auto parts
• Large commercial machinery or firearms and ammunition.

Make sure not to disconnect your phone the day of your move, so we can easily contact you for any queries and assistance.

Tips. We gladly receive tips just like in any service occupations. It is not necessary to give tips, but if you liked the quality service we have given you, you're tips are highly appreciated.

Parking. If curbside parking is needed then it's the homeowner or renter responsibility to arrange their parking prior to our arrival. If a parking infraction is issued, then it's the client responsibility to pay their ticket. Please prepare a enough parking space for our truck when we arrive because it will save you time and money.

Please eliminate hangers, nails, pictures, or anything that protrude from walls and doors. These may cause damage on any furniture and these damages will not be covered by our insurance.

Snow Alert. We are always here to inform or call you of any possible delays or postponements. Our rule of thumb is that we will be doubtful to send our trucks out when school districts are closed.

Charity or Dump Runs.  We will gladly get rid of your unimportant items at our same competitive rate.  Please call our office to schedule a time for us to pick those items up.   

In the event of rain, we can put down pads on carpet and hardwood floors to protect them from getting wet. But, we cannot do the same for stairs for safety reasons.

Clients who choose to help us load or unload do so solely at their own risk.  2 BROTHERS MOVING SERVICES does not assume liability for customer injury or property damage.

We highly recommend you to venture into a garage sale business when you want to dispose all the unwanted items inside your homes. We believe that it is much easier to move cash than furniture.
