Weeks 6-8 before Move:
- Inventory Assessment: A professional estimator from Movers and Truck Pro will discuss on the phone or visit your home to conduct a detailed inventory of items to be moved, ensuring an accurate and transparent quote.
- Customized Moving Strategy: Based on the inventory and your specific needs, we will create a tailored moving plan, including packing, loading, transportation, and unloading steps.
- Supplies Delivery: If required by customer, provide high-quality moving boxes, tape, and packing materials for any items chosen to pack.
