Does calling a mover mean committing to a full-scale move? Not necessarily. Professional moving companies are well aware that families have many reasons for moving heavy furniture. Moving home is only one of them. But is it worth hiring a company just to lift some cabinets from one room to another? Nashville experts are strongly in favor.

Here’s why.

An important note: not all substantial home changes involve relocating. Which is to say, sometimes you’re just looking to move stuff within your home - not move home. And you’re not alone.

In fact, in-home moving and furniture rearrangement are trending with the turn of the year, experts say - and there are all kinds of reasons why:

Home remodeling projects... Dinner parties... Home gym additions... Imminent property sales...

Each of these situations might involve you clearing out or moving heavy furniture to different rooms - but here’s the problem. These are physically demanding tasks that are easy to mess up… and that’s when stuff gets broken, be it furniture or bones.

So what do professionals offer in support?

1. Specialized Skills. According to the experts at True Friends Moving Company, movers possess certain skills that aren’t easy to find. If they were, anyone could do it.

There’s a lot of crossover experience in the art of moving. Over many years, when professionals load and unload spacious moving trucks, they develop a feel for how to maneuver certain objects without causing scratches.

What does that mean for you? It means that even if you just need a few bulky furniture pieces moved upstairs, you can always call the pros. Just look for labor-only movers - they’ll carry out the manual work only, with no transportation needed.

2. Variety & Versatility. All belongings count.

Moving your furniture is only the beginning, as far as movers are concerned. You’ll find that many are equally ready to reposition or rehang your antiques - and yes, that includes paintings.

In particular, you’ll need movers who are confident enough to handle such items without causing marks that, as you know, would diminish their value. But here’s the good news: professional movers are well-acquainted with meticulous tasks like disassembling piano and treadmill components.

What’s an old painting compared to them?

3. Additional Amenities. Branch out a little from labor-only, and you’ll find that professional movers can accommodate in-home moving projects in multiple ways.

Exhibit A: temporary storage facilities. Many companies offer places for you to store your stuff until such time as it’s needed. So, if you’re looking to clear out certain rooms for a short time (say, you’re painting or decorating your property interiors), you’ll need somewhere to stash everything out of the way.

That’s where movers come in, with spacious crates, roomy lockups, and temperature-controlled warehouses. You can even drive your belongings there yourself - or leave the legwork to those who do it best.

As a final takeaway, movers should be your first port of call for local or long-distance relocation. But sometimes, your moving project spans a pretty short distance indeed - one room to another. Or one story to another.

And as we’ve seen, there’s no task too small for a professional moving company. In fact, experts advise that it’s easy to get your old wooden cabinets out of the way so you can remodel… or that grand dining table outside for your upcoming party. After all, professionals will do the work they’re paid for.
