Unloading & Unwanted Item Removal
At Sasquatch Moving Co., we pride ourselves on making your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. Once our team arrives at your new home, we’ll get right to work; but before unloading begins, there are a few important steps we take to ensure a safe, efficient, and well-organized process.
Step 1: Walk-Through & Planning
Our crew will begin with a brief walk-through of your home. This gives us a clear understanding of where your furniture and boxes should go, room by room. We encourage you to let us know in advance if certain items have designated locations so we can place them correctly the first time; saving you time and hassle later.
During the walk-through, we’ll also identify high-traffic areas and take precautions to protect floors and walls. We treat your new home with the care and respect it deserves.
Step 2: Safe & Efficient Unloading
Before opening the truck, we carefully inspect the load to ensure nothing has shifted during transit. Our movers work methodically to unload items in a safe and controlled manner. For oversized or heavy pieces, we use specialized equipment such as dollies, lifting straps, and hand trucks, and always maintain a two-person minimum for large or awkward loads.
Items are placed exactly where you want them, not just dropped in a pile. If something changes during the unload, we’re happy to adjust placement as needed.
Step 3: Item Protection & Inventory
For moves involving inventory sheets or labeled boxes, our crew will call out item numbers to help you track what’s been delivered. We also unwrap larger items such as sofas and headboards once they’re inside the home to ensure they remain protected until final placement. All packing materials (blankets, shrink wrap, and tape) are removed and consolidated during the process to keep your space tidy.
Step 4: Debris Removal & Dump Runs (Optional Service)
Once everything is in place, you're likely to be left with packing materials and possibly a few items you no longer need. Of course, we clean up after ourselves and will leave with whatever we brough, but we also offer post-move debris removal and dump runs as an added service. Whether it’s old furniture (the most common item we are asked to take after moves), broken items, or just the mountain of empty boxes and packing paper, our team can haul it away for you. We can take your unwanted items and continue on the the tranfer station right then and there, saving you the trouble of a trip to the dump. This will incur additional hourly charges including a per ton waste disposal fee. If we don’t have time that day then we can arrange to come back within a day or two.
Simply let us know at any point during or after the move, and we’ll provide a flat-rate bid or same-day haul-away.
Step 5: Final Walk-Through
Before we go, we’ll perform a final sweep of your home to ensure everything is in place and no debris or materials are left behind. This is your chance to let us know if anything still needs adjusting, if every piece of furniture that you wanted to be assembled was, or if there’s anything more we can do to help. Your satisfaction is our priority.
