Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.
Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.
If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.
Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”
This includes:
- •Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
- •Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
- •Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
- •Living things, including plants, fish, and pets
We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.
Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.
Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.
Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:
- ✓Mounted TVs
- ✓Artwork and mirrors
- ✓Shelving
- ✓Window air conditioners
Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.
If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.
Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.
- ✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
- ✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.
