Full service vs a standard move

Who Does What

Every Midtown move already includes wrapping, loading and placing furniture. Full service adds the two jobs that take most people the longest: packing before the move and unpacking after it.

Wrap and pad furniture Midtown crew Midtown crew
Protect floors and doorways Midtown crew Midtown crew
Load, drive and unload Midtown crew Midtown crew

“The team at midtown moving are prompt and professional. They were on time and did the entire move which included packing/loading at one house, and unloading at another house in a total of 4 hours.”
