Senior & Downsizing Moves
Leaving a home of thirty years is a sorting job before it is a moving job.
What we do
Most senior moves are not really about distance. They are about deciding what comes, what goes to family, what gets donated and what has to be cleared - and doing that in a house that has been filling up for decades.
That takes time, and rushing someone through their own home is not a service. We schedule these moves with the sorting built into the day rather than treating it as an obstacle to loading the truck.
The other half of the job is the destination. Retirement residences have move-in windows, elevator bookings and insurance requirements, and the new suite is almost always smaller than people picture. We measure it first so furniture is placed once instead of shuffled around.
