Do Movers Disassemble Beds
Published by Chris Townsend
Since establishing our company 20 years ago, Three Movers has become a leader in the moving industry and now offers customers the most comprehensive line of services in numerous cities throughout the US. Whether it’s a local move across the street or across the country, we understand that moving an entire household can be a stressful, tedious experience. Thus, if you want to avoid breaking your back packing and loading for a move, our experienced and skilled professional movers are ready to make your move as pleasant an experience as possible.
What furniture items should be disassembled before loading?
The reason most moves become so difficult is because many household items need to be broken down into parts before loading them on our moving trucks. This can be a hazardous endeavor for the average, untrained individual. While we can easily move a lot of larger furniture items without having to disassemble them, other items will travel better, if they are broken down first. This includes items such as:
- anything from IKEA (commonly referred to as RTA or ready-to-assemble furniture)
- beds/bed frames and bunk beds
- bookshelves or book cases
- dining room tables
- dressers or vanities and mirrors
- home entertainment centers
- removable appliance components (dishwasher racks, refrigerator shelves and trays, oven racks and stove burner grates, etc.)
- Wardrobes, cabinets and drawers
Remember, whenever you disassemble any of these items, there is going to be a lot of hardware like screws, bolts, nuts, washers. etc that you need to keep track of. Be sure to package the hardware for each item separately in Ziploc bags and label them accordingly.
Why Should I Disassemble Furniture Before Shifting?
Disassembling furniture like beds makes it a lot easier to move. A large piece of furniture will not fit in narrow stairwells and elevators. When you disassemble furniture before moving it becomes a lot easier to pack, load and carry the furniture. The risk of damage to the furniture also decreases if you disassemble it before moving.
It will also be harder to adjust a piece of furniture of a large size inside a moving truck. Also the size might make it problematic to move over the stairs or a narrow way before loading in truck. The time needed to complete the move will drastically increase if you try to move a large piece of furniture without disassembling it. This will also result in higher moving costs.
Do Haulers Take Apart Beds And Other Furniture Items?
Three Movers offers an extensive range of moving services, one of which is the disassembly and re-assembly of beds and the other furniture items listed above. We decided early on that this was a necessary service to provide due to the number of customers that are physically unable to handle this kind of task or weren’t mechanically inclined. We have found that it’s best to disassemble certain items so that travel safely and make it to their destination undamaged. If you have hired us to pack the dismantled pieces, we’ll ensure that each of the related pieces are marked and packed accordingly.
Will Long Distance Haulers Disassemble Furniture
Yes, long distance movers will disassemble furniture. For that, hire a full service moving company instead of a company that only transports your goods. A full service moving company will also, pack, load, unload and take care of every other aspect of a relocation process. You will have to discuss your moving needs with the professional movers before the move so that they can estimate costs and provide services accordingly.
It is more important to disassemble furniture properly during a long distance move. Furniture pieces have more chance of getting damaged when transported over a long distance if they are not disassembled properly. So, it's absolutely necessary to use professional disassembly services when relocating long distances.

Do Movers Put Furniture Back Together?
Our movers have plenty of experience and expertise in furniture reassembly as well. If needed, we can put furniture back together as well. Most of the time, people who use our furniture disassembly services also use our furniture reassembly services. If you cannot take apart the furniture on your own, it’s most likely that you’ll not be able to put it back together on your own.
So, it makes sense to hire the same moving company for both tasks. It will be easier to reassemble the furniture if you are the one who disassembled it in the first place. Not damaging the furniture is the first priority of our professional movers. They also try to complete the job as quickly as possible.
We have mastered reassembling beds, sofas and other common types of furniture. But, our movers are also capable of reassembling unique types of furniture with ease.
Do Movers Disassemble and Reassemble Furniture At Same Price
Most people choose our moving package that includes disassembly as well as reassembly of your furniture or don’t choose either of the services. So, practically speaking, the furniture disassembly and reassembly is done within a singular pricing structure.
When you hire a full service moving company to manage every aspect of your move, you’ll be paying for many different types of moving services at once. This means if you choose not to pay your movers to reassemble your furniture, there is not be big changes in your overall moving costs.
Should I disassemble my furniture?
While many individuals prefer to take their furniture apart before it gets loaded and then reassemble it in their new home once it’s been unloaded, sometimes it makes more sense to have our movers do it for you. It just depends on your budget and the specifics of your move. Ultimately, it’s your decision. Here are two questions that will help you decide what to do:
- Are you physically capable of the lifting involved when disassembling and re-assembling your furniture items?
- Do you have the basic mechanical skills required when using hand and power tools?
If the answer to either one of these was “NO”, it’s probably best to let our moving crew members handle this task for you. Naturally, it will save you time and money if you can disassemble the items you’re moving. That is because packing a whole bed as compared to boxing the pieces requires a smaller box and space.
Will the shifters uninstall and reinstall larger appliances?
Another question that customers often ask is if we will uninstall their larger appliances such as their dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, washer, and dryer and then re-assemble them. Unfortunately, Three Movers does not. It’s not because our moving crew members are lazy. It’s because we are reluctant to assume that kind of liability. Many customers will either perform these tasks themselves or call a handyman or plumber to do the work.
