Full-Service Moving
Relocations That Protect What You Own
Full-Service Moving in Norcross for households and businesses managing complete property transitions
A properly executed move prevents damage to furniture, appliances, and irreplaceable items while maintaining control over an otherwise chaotic process. Eddy's Movers handles full-service moving in Norcross, Marietta, and Atlanta, managing every step from initial packing through final appliance installation at the destination. Residential clients downsizing after decades in one location and commercial tenants coordinating lease transitions both rely on structured moving processes that eliminate guesswork and reduce breakage rates.
Full-service moving includes inventory assessment, custom packing using appropriately sized boxes and protective materials, furniture disassembly when needed, loading with weight distribution planned for transport stability, and complete unpacking with items placed in designated rooms. Appliances requiring disconnect and reconnect services are handled separately to prevent water line damage and electrical issues that commonly occur during self-managed moves.
Schedule an on-site walkthrough to determine packing requirements and identify items needing specialized handling.
What Proper Packing and Loading Require
Effective moving service depends on matching packing materials to item fragility and weight, then loading trucks in sequence that prevents shifting during transport. Heavy items are placed low and toward the front of the truck, while boxed goods are stacked with heavier containers at the bottom and clearly labeled fragile items positioned where they won't bear weight from above. Furniture with removable legs or detachable components is disassembled to reduce the risk of joint damage and make maneuvering through doorways and stairwells safer for both the item and the property.
After the move, you'll notice that furniture arrives in the same condition it left, appliances function correctly once reconnected, and boxes are delivered to the rooms marked on their labels rather than stacked randomly in a garage. The unpacking process reverses the packing sequence, with essential rooms like kitchens and bedrooms prioritized so the space becomes functional immediately rather than requiring days of sorting through misplaced boxes.
Full-service options include temporary storage for clients managing closing date gaps, specialty crating for antiques or artwork, and appliance servicing to verify that washers, dryers, and refrigerators operate correctly after reinstallation. The service does not include disposal of unwanted items or deep cleaning of the vacated property, which are typically arranged separately.
Questions Before Your Move
Relocating involves coordinating timing, protecting belongings, and managing logistics that vary depending on property size and distance. These questions address common planning concerns.
- What happens during the initial walkthrough? A moving coordinator visits the property to assess the volume of items, identify pieces requiring disassembly or special packing, measure doorways and stairwells for clearance issues, and note any access challenges like steep driveways or limited parking that affect truck positioning and loading efficiency.
- How are fragile items packed differently than standard household goods? Fragile items are wrapped individually in bubble wrap or packing paper, placed in boxes with cushioning material filling all voids, and marked with handling instructions. Dishes are packed vertically rather than stacked flat to reduce pressure points, and glassware is separated with cardboard dividers to prevent contact during movement.
- When should moves be scheduled to avoid delays in the Norcross area? Moves scheduled mid-month and mid-week typically encounter fewer scheduling conflicts and road congestion compared to month-end relocations when lease terms frequently expire. Summer months see higher demand due to school schedules, so booking several weeks in advance during June through August prevents last-minute availability issues.
- What determines the time required for a full-service move? The number of rooms, amount of furniture requiring disassembly, stair access versus ground-level loading, and distance to the destination all affect duration. A three-bedroom house with standard furnishings typically requires six to eight hours for packing, loading, transport within the metro area, and unloading, while larger properties or long-distance moves extend that timeline accordingly.
- How are appliances prepared for disconnection and reconnection? Water supply lines to washers and refrigerators are shut off and disconnected, drain hoses are emptied and secured, and electrical connections are unplugged and protected. At the destination, all connections are restored, water lines are checked for leaks, and appliances are tested to confirm proper operation before the moving crew departs.
