How a move with Dos Manos works
A walkthrough of furniture preparation, loading and room placement, with a real Dos Manos wrapping video and details to share before moving day.
Start with a walkthrough
Show the crew what is going, what stays and anything that needs extra care. Walk through the route to the truck, including tight doorways and stairs. At the new address, explain where you want the larger pieces.
Point out a loose leg, a removable glass shelf or damage you already know about. Those details matter before anyone picks up the furniture.
Prepare furniture before lifting
Our work photos and the video below show furniture being padded and wrapped inside the home. The crew then carries the protected piece toward the truck.
If your move needs disassembly, identify the piece when you request a quote. A bed frame and a large modular desk can involve different work. Send photos and keep any assembly instructions you have.
Load the truck for the trip
The truck photos on our crew page show padded furniture arranged inside the vehicle. Loading takes more than fitting everything through the door: the items need to be positioned and secured for transport.
If you supply the truck or container, tell us its size and what equipment comes with it. Confirm materials and equipment before the crew arrives.
Put things in the rooms you choose
Label boxes with their destination rooms and tell the crew where the main furniture belongs. Before the job ends, walk through the rooms together and raise any placement questions.
Packing, disassembly and reassembly depend on what you book. List those tasks in your request so the quote covers the help you need.
