The announcement comes as Philadelphia’s weak housing market - with overvalued properties and high mortgage rates - is pricing many out of the city. Philadelphians are increasingly looking for more affordable living out of state, says Movers.com - and their latest resources provide easy access to certified long-distance movers, and expert tips on moving heavy furniture upstairs, for anyone who wants to go the DIY route.
The “Moving Heavy Furniture Upstairs” guide recommends planning carefully before moving heavy furniture upstairs, as this can be a serious task that will require more than one person. The risk of damage to furniture and staircase is considerable, and personal injury is also possible - so the task needs to be taken seriously.
And it all starts with measuring.
“Before you lift anything heavy and start your move, make sure you know how much space it will need and at what angle you need to haul it,” explains the guide. “Measuring the dimensions of the furniture and the width of the stairs will make sure that you don’t get stuck on your way.”
Homeowners should then consider the type of staircase and the position and angles required to move the furniture - with straight staircases making it considerably easier.
The guide recommends disassembling very large items, if possible, to ensure they don’t get damaged during the move. Furniture shorter than seven feet can be moved vertically to make turning easier, while longer items need to be moved horizontally to avoid colliding with the ceiling.
Readers will also find tips on how to protect the stairs and the furniture, get all the moving tools and equipment needed, and using tools to move heavy furniture upstairs.
For homeowners looking for professional long-distance movers, Movers.com also offers an extensive directory of pre-screened, licensed and certified companies in Philadelphia.
