Downsizing help for a smaller home
Before a move into a smaller place, someone has to decide what goes. We help with that choice and deal with the leftovers on the same move.
Measure the new place first
Start with the new rooms, not the old house. If you have the layout or room sizes, bring them to the walkthrough. We help you work out which furniture fits the new room, and then you pick the pieces you'd least like to lose. Letting go of a sofa is easier once you can see there's no wall for it. Settle the big furniture before packing starts.
Keep, consign, donate or toss
Everything that isn't coming has somewhere to go, and we take it there on moving day. We'll drop furniture at the consignment shop you pick or deliver donations for you. Items nobody wants go to disposal, which carries a separate fee. We aren't a junk removal company, so this comes with a move rather than on its own. See donation and disposal for the details.
When the whole family is deciding
Downsizing usually involves a parent, a few grown children and a house full of history. Agree on the family pieces early, before boxes go up, so nobody learns on moving day that the china cabinet went to consignment. A short written list of who gets what helps our crew too. Anything set aside for a relative can be labeled and kept out of the load.
Packing what you keep
Once the choices are made, our crew can pack the rest and unpack it at the new home. Plenty of our customers hand us every box, and you can do the same. If the move is into assisted living or a senior community, our senior moves page explains the setup we do on the first day. Call (239) 415-6683 and Justin or Patrick will come walk the house.
For local details that affect this kind of move, see our moving notes for Bonita Springs, Whiskey Creek, Pelican Bay, and Venice.
How your move comes together
01. Free Owner Estimate
An owner walks your home, or reviews it by video if you are farther away, and gives a free estimate.
02. Confirm the Details
Confirm the moving date, the items going and the help you need.
03. Moving Day
Our crew handles the moving work agreed in your estimate.
04. Settling In
We unpack if it is part of your estimate, and on senior moves the crew makes the bed before leaving.
What our customers say
Real Google reviews from customers we have moved, in their own words. Read all our reviews
Do you buy or sell furniture?
No. We take pieces to a consignment shop you choose, and the shop handles any sale.
Is downsizing help only for seniors?
No. Anyone moving into less space can use it. A lot of this work is with older customers moving into senior communities.
Will you haul things away without a move?
Usually not. We're a moving company, so donation and disposal runs are done as part of moving your household.
