Start with the kitchen
- Kitchens take the longest to pack and hold the most breakables. If you only hand over one room, make it this one.
- Pick full-home packing, selected rooms or fragile items only, and say what is staying behind.

Packing and Unpacking in Sarasota, FL
Packing takes longer than almost anything else in a move. Hand over the whole house, just the kitchen and the art, or only the unpacking at the other end.

Fragile and odd-shaped items
- Mirrors, art, lamps and glass tabletops need their own boxes or wrapping. List them so the right materials come.
- Ask for packing labor and materials to be listed separately so you can see what each costs.
Keep a do-not-pack zone
- Set aside documents, medications, chargers and valuables in a closed room or your car so they are not boxed by mistake.
- Items are wrapped and boxed by room, and each box is labeled with its room and contents.
Unpacking counts too
- Unpacking can be booked on its own. Boxes are emptied into the right rooms and the cardboard is broken down.
- At the new home, boxes are opened in the right rooms and the empty cardboard is taken down.

FAQ
Sarasota Moving FAQs: We Have Answers
Several categories of items should not be packed for a standard move in Sarasota. Hazardous materials, including propane tanks, gasoline, paint, bleach, pool chemicals, and other flammable or corrosive substances, are not permitted in moving trucks and should be disposed of or transported separately before your move date. Perishable food items should not be packed unless you're moving locally within a few hours. Live plants are typically excluded by professional movers. Additionally, high-value personal items such as jewelry, cash, medications, passports, and irreplaceable documents should always be packed by the homeowner and transported personally, never left for the moving crew to box and load.
