What should I do before the movers come in Sarasota?

The most important task before the crew arrives is to be fully packed. Seal boxes with proper packing tape, label each with its contents and destination room, and stack them in accessible areas near the front door or along a clear path out. Take apart furniture you can, such as bed frames, shelving and desks.

Secure a parking spot as close to your entry as possible for the moving truck. In downtown Sarasota and some residential neighborhoods, this may require moving your own vehicles the night before or reserving curb space. For gated communities or buildings with move-in windows, confirm your scheduled elevator or loading dock access before move day.

Separate anything you do not want the crew to move, such as items you will transport yourself, things going to donation or items awaiting a separate pickup, and clearly mark or relocate them so there is no confusion. Have your payment method ready and a list of any special instructions for fragile or high-value items.
