While all parts of the home are at risk of being damaged by large furniture and heavy items during relocation, flooring, particularly hardwood and tile, is often the most susceptible to scratches. To keep their floors safe, Movers.com says that homeowners should avoid sliding any belongings directly on the surfaces; the guide also suggests creating a path of flattened cardboard boxes through the highest-traffic areas for additional protection. For carpets, residents can instead use adhesive carpet runners, packing blankets, or drop cloths as barriers, with the latter two being the more inexpensive options.

Banisters are also easily damaged by large furniture, which is why Movers.com recommends wrapping them with clean moving blankets and securing the cloth with packing tape. The guide advises readers to avoid taping the banisters directly, especially if they are made of wood, as this may leave residue behind or strip the finish off. Readers can also take extra precautions by placing anti-slip covers on the stairs to lessen the chances of a fall.

Walls and wall corners will also require protection, especially in high-traffic areas. As with flooring, readers can tape cardboard boxes, moving blankets, and drop cloths on the walls to shield them from any impacts. For wall corners, readers can simply use corner guards.

While the appropriate amount of protection can substantially reduce the risk of damage, Movers.com still advises readers to be careful while ascending or descending staircases and moving through tight spaces. Rather than trying to handle unwieldy items, the guide recommends making use of sliders, dollies, and other tools. Professional movers in Barrington are often equipped with these supplies, and those who want to hire a company for help can consult Movers.com’s directory to find the top services in their area.
