Identify heavy, fragile, or oversized pieces. Send photos and note any furniture requiring disassembly.
Book a truck, trailer, or portable container with enough room for your items. Muse provides labor, not transportation.
Seal and label boxes by room. Set aside essentials, valuables, medications, and items you plan to transport yourself.
Measure tight doorways and identify stairs, long carries, and other conditions that may affect the job.
Keep your phone nearby and have someone available to answer questions about placement and priorities.
Two movers are often a starting point for smaller loads and straightforward access. Larger inventories, heavy items, multiple floors, or tight schedules may benefit from three or four movers. The right crew depends on your specific job—not just the number of bedrooms.
Our direct bookings currently have a two-hour minimum for two movers and a four-hour minimum for three- or four-person crews. We review estimates individually before booking.
