Looking to give your home a new internal look? Perhaps rearranging your furniture could do the trick, but before you start dragging your furniture from one end of the house to the next, consider your fragile furniture, your floors, and your walls.
One of the biggest reasons local furniture movers are hired is to help move furniture inside a home. So, call us if you need help moving a couch, bed, dresser, wardrobe, or heavy item. Our professionally trained movers move, shift, and place furniture all day and know how to do the job correctly.
If you are unsure how to set up a room, need ideas on rearranging furniture, or want a layout changed, ask them for suggestions. They've been in hundreds of homes and know what looks best.
Sometimes, just thinning out your area is a better option. At Collegian Movers, we can help safely rearrange or remove furniture. We can also bring your unwanted items to an existing storage facility, our storage facility, or a donation site.
Collegian Movers offers house furniture removal and disposal services. We recycle and donate used items. We also work with charitable organizations to give unwanted yet usable items new life. Additionally, we can dispose of your unwanted furniture, bring it to a new location, or keep it safe for you in our storage facility.
Our moving crews can remove an entire house of furniture or simply the few pieces you need to remove. Our furniture removal services are convenient when new furniture is delivered, as most furniture companies do not offer removal services.
Do you need help moving a single piece of furniture? Well, you are in luck! Our professional movers are strong and well-versed in using leverage and skill to move heavy items.

The most common heavy item moves include:
Before preparing to renovate your home, the first thing you should do is hire a mover to remove your furniture, rugs, and any other items from the room. So that you can make space for the construction workers.
This not only keeps your items safe but also helps to keep them clean. Renovations and remodeling are notoriously messy. This is especially true of renovations involving flooring, painting, or other types of construction.
When removing your home furnishings, be sure to store them in a safe and secure location. Often, people designate another room in their home for storage, maybe the garage or basement, when available, but there are other options to consider.
Depending on the length of the project, it might make sense to hire moving labor professionals to move your heavy furniture and boxes out of your home. Be sure to hire a licensed and insured moving company. Then, you can rest easily, knowing your items will be safe during renovations.
Are you in the middle of Home Renovations and want to order new furniture? Our Storage Warehouse serves as an alternative delivery location and a collection point for residential homes and commercial businesses. As part of our service, we receive, handle, and inspect all deliveries for damage.

It may be time to lug out your patio furniture, grill, and other outdoor lawn items. You may have them in temporary storage in a storage unit, in your garage, basement, or even in your attic, making moving them more difficult. When stairs are involved, moving heavy items becomes difficult. If you need help moving your items this Spring, Fall, or anytime, call Collegian Movers! Our professionally trained movers will quickly set up or safely store your outdoor areas.
You can hire Collegian Movers to pick up your furniture or other items from a self-storage facility that you are using. Our moving crews coordinate with the facility, pick up and load your items onto our moving trucks, and deliver them to your doorstep. Then, as a final step, they will unload the items and place them exactly where you want them in your home. The same is true in reverse. We also deliver goods to self-storage facilities. Alternatively, you can store your goods at Collegian Movers' storage facility. However, in this case, our professional movers will prepare your items for storage with proper padding and packing.
Moving large items up or down stairs is difficult, no matter their weight. We advise that you hire trained movers to help you navigate the stairs and save yourself from accidental hazards. Moving heavy furniture upstairs can be dangerous, especially if the staircase has turning points or twists.
Professional Movers have the right tools.
Plus, they have the know-how and strength to move up and down stairs. They work in homes and buildings daily, some with elevators, which makes the job easier but often more time-consuming. When moving to an apartment or building without an elevator, be sure there is a clear path to walk through, as visuals during a move can usually be blocked. Preventive planning is a must when moving. Plus, it adds extra safety for your belongings and the moving crew.
Home Staging Moving ServicesHomes sell best when they are professionally staged. This may require you to move furniture in the existing home, deliver new furniture, remove existing furniture from the house, or place the extra items into a storage unit. You want the house to look uncluttered, inviting, and clean.

We suggest you hire a home staging professional to make the hard decisions and let Collegian Movers do the heavy lifting and placing of furniture.

Our Connecticut furniture storage facility is a convenient collection and storage center to use for temporary storage. Storage is most helpful while staging a home for sale, during a renovation, or a remodel. We receive and inspect all deliveries for damage. In addition, we consolidate and store the items until they are ready for delivery from our Milford, CT storage facility.
Special occasions often create a need to move furniture temporarily. You may need more room in your home or even to rearrange heavy furniture to create an ideal environment for entertaining. In these cases, professional movers may be the perfect solution. When you hire movers to help with an in-home move, they arrive and are under your direction regarding what needs to be done. You can instruct them to rearrange or move chairs, tables, couches, or even the entire contents of a room or house. Then, let them know what needs to be moved and where it should be moved, and they will move it for you to your satisfaction.
