What do you do if it rains or snows?
Good weather is certainly more pleasant and cost effective for moving but not mandatory. As long as our crews are not at risk we keep moving. We will cover your furniture with moving pads and/or shrink-wrap and use floor runners to protect your floors. If rescheduling is an option for you we will do our best to accommodate. If you have more move day questions visit our FAQ.

Only a moving specialist can achieve the desired efficiency and safety on an elevator move.
SECURITY OF YOUR BELONGINGS
Without professional planning and procedures, it is possible that your belongings may be left unattended at several
points in the elevator process. This increases the likelihood of a problem occurring. Beltway recommends using
at least a three-man team on most elevator moves...one upstairs, one at the elevator and one near the van.
When possible, pitch in yourself to watch your belongings. If you want to be of assistance-you can be the elevator
operator. This will free one of the professional movers to do more of the actual handling of furniture.
TIME ACCOUNTABILITY
Finally, a common concern of customers is time accountability. It takes as much as 10-15 minutes from the arrival
of the movers at your building until you actually see them. This is due in large part to the time necessary for parking
the van, unloading equipment and securing the elevator. In addition, when you see your apartment finally emptied,
be aware that all your furniture may not have arrived at the van and that men may still be working to complete
the loading of the van. Don't despair; Beltway has a solution to guard against wasted time. Instead, use this
time to look for forgotten items and to carry last minute things such as potted plants to your car. Then make sure
that the loading dock is clear, that everything is on the van, that the new address has been verified with your move
crew and that the elevator key has been returned to the building management.
