Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book my move in New Jersey?

It’s recommended to book your move in advance, especially during busy moving seasons (spring and summer) or for larger moves. Booking early ensures availability and gives us ample time to plan logistics for a smooth transition. If you’re planning a move during peak periods or need special services, it’s wise to reserve your spot even earlier to secure your desired date.

Does Big John’s Moving provide packing services?

Yes, Big John’s Moving offers full-service packing and unpacking as an add-on service to make your move even easier. Our team of professionals uses high-quality materials to securely pack your items, ensuring everything is safe for the journey. Whether you need help packing a few fragile items or want us to pack up your entire home, we’re here to assist.

Are there any items that cannot be moved?

Yes, certain items cannot be moved for safety or legal reasons. These include hazardous materials (e.g., gasoline, paint, chemicals), perishable food, live plants, and animals. Consider transporting valuables like jewelry or important documents yourself for added security. If you’re unsure about any specific items, feel free to ask us!

How do you ensure the safety of my belongings during the move?

Our trained movers use quality packing materials, including bubble wrap, moving blankets and sturdy boxes to protect fragile and delicate items. For larger items, we use professional equipment to securely load and unload them. Our experienced team takes care to avoid damage during transit, and our fully insured services provide you with peace of mind.

What should I do to prepare for moving day?

Preparation is key to a smooth move. Here’s an expanded checklist to help ensure everything goes as planned:

• Declutter: Start by sorting through your belongings. Donate, sell, or dispose of items you no longer need to lighten your load. The fewer items you have to move, the easier the process will be.
• Pack: If you’re packing yourself, aim to have everything boxed up well in advance. Keep essential items (like toiletries, medications and important documents) separate, and pack them last to avoid confusion on moving day.
• Label Boxes: Clearly label all boxes by room and contents. This will make unloading and unpacking much easier, especially in a busy environment like a Brooklyn apartment or house.
• Arrange Parking: Make sure there’s adequate parking space for the moving truck at both your current and new home. If necessary, arrange for permits to reserve a spot, especially in busy neighborhoods.
• Disassemble Furniture: Take apart any large furniture, such as bed frames, bookshelves or desks, to make them easier to transport. Keep screws and hardware in labeled bags to avoid losing them.
• Prepare Payment: Have your payment ready, whether it’s cash, certified check, or card. It’s also a good idea to set aside a tip for your movers for their hard work.
