What to Expect: Moving

Here is how a Vantage Moving job runs, start to finish. Your signed estimate and service agreement are the final word; this page is a plain-language summary.

  1. Arrival and walk-through. Your crew lead walks the home with you. If the items or conditions are different from your estimate, the crew lead explains any change before work continues.
  2. Protection. We pad and wrap furniture and protect floors and doorways where needed.
  3. Loading. Our own crew and truck, every time. Your move is exclusive use: your belongings are the only ones on the truck.
  4. Stay on site. You or an adult you authorize needs to be present for the whole move, at pickup and delivery, so you can answer questions and inspect.
  5. Delivery and setup. We place furniture where you want it and reassemble what we took apart.
  6. Final walk-through. Before the crew leaves, walk the home with the crew lead, check the empty truck, and note any damage on the paperwork before you sign.
  7. Payment. Local moves: payment is due at completion, before the crew leaves. Moves outside the local area: payment is due at the destination before unloading begins. See Payments.
