What can be included
List every item in the request. Unusually heavy, connected, hazardous or regulated material should be identified before scheduling.
Common situations
Replacing living-room furniture
Clear the old sofa before a delivery window or immediately after the new furniture arrives.
Apartment move-out
Avoid leaving a couch beside a dumpster when the lease ends or keys are due.
Damaged or worn furniture

How to avoid surprises on arrival
Photograph the entire couch
Show the full length, arms, back and any sleeper mechanism.
Show the exit path
Include stairs, hallway turns, elevator doors and the closest parking point.
Measure tight openings
Door width and stair turns matter more than the room size.
Confirm disassembly
Sectional connectors, removable feet and sleeper mechanisms can change the plan.
What changes the price
The quote should reflect the actual item, labor and access rather than a generic teaser price.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Couch type | A lightweight loveseat is different from a sleeper sofa or oversized sectional. |
| Floor and stairs | Upper floors and narrow turns add labor. |
| Disassembly | Some pieces separate quickly; others require more work. |
| Carry distance | Long apartment hallways or distant parking increase handling time. |
| Condition | Pest concerns, water damage or contamination must be disclosed. |
