Tempered glass, mirrors, natural stone, engineered stone, ceramics, and delicate finishes have different handling risks.
Write these details into the request rather than keeping them as service-day assumptions. Furniture and appliance delivery depends on measurements, safe handling, pickup readiness, and a clear destination path.
Inspect before movement
Photograph existing chips, cracks, loose joints, or repairs and identify weak edges or unsupported sections.
Photos, measurements, and a reachable contact make this checkpoint easier to verify before anyone travels.
Prepare removable pieces
Remove shelves or tops only when designed for it, label every part, and keep hardware in a secure bag.
If the condition changes, update the plan early so vehicle, crew, timing, and handling can be reviewed.
Protect and stabilize
Use clean padding and secure the item against shifting without applying damaging pressure to fragile edges.
The goal is a route that protects the item, the property, and the people completing the work.
Plan final placement
Clear the route and placement surface, confirm support is ready, and avoid last-minute movement after protective materials are removed.
Finish this step before checkout whenever possible and keep the supporting information available on service day.
Frequently asked questions
Can glass shelves stay inside a cabinet?
Loose glass shelves should usually be removed and protected separately when the item design allows it.
Is a blanket enough for stone?
Stone may require specialized support and handling; disclose material, dimensions, and weight before booking.
Why document existing damage?
A clear pre-move record helps everyone distinguish prior condition from a new concern.
