Before your move
Moving FAQs
Answers about estimates, packing, furniture, and moving day. For details specific to your move, send us your addresses and the help you need.
Planning the move and the estimate
What should I send for an estimate?
The pickup and delivery addresses, a room-by-room inventory or a rough list of what is moving, preferred dates, and access details at both properties. Include stairs, elevators, parking, and long carries, and say whether you want packing or unpacking help. Send it through the contact form or call (330) 347-9742, and Full Faith follows up with the next steps.
Can I move only part of a household?
Yes. Partial moves are routine. Decide which rooms or items are moving, and the estimate covers only that list. The same applies to packing: tell Full Faith which rooms need professional help and which you will handle yourself.
How is pricing determined for a local move?
Based on the inventory, distance between addresses, access conditions at both properties, and the crew size needed.
What property details matter most?
Stairs, elevators, gated entry, truck parking availability, and any extended carry from the truck to the door.
Preparing the properties
What should I check for an apartment move?
Building rules drive apartment moves: elevator reservations, loading space, permitted hours, and entry arrangements. Share the requirements at both addresses when you request the estimate, and Full Faith adapts the plan so moving day stays on schedule.

How does a downsizing move work?
Sorting comes first. Decide which furniture goes to the new home, which goes to family, and which is donated or discarded. Full Faith packs only what is actually moving and plans around the person rather than the clock. Partial moves and room-by-room placement are routine.

How should I label boxes?
Label by room and mark the boxes that should open first. The crew uses the labels for direct placement at the destination, so the first box you need is the first one off the truck.

Can I pack some rooms myself and have Full Faith do the rest?
Yes. Partial packing is common. Tell us which rooms need professional help.
On moving day
The service member is already at the new duty station. Can Full Faith still help?
Yes. A family contact at the origin can coordinate the packing and loading while the service member receives at the destination. Share both contacts when you request the estimate.
Can you handle a last-minute move?
Partial moves are routine, and the team can often accommodate short notice. Call (330) 347-9742 with your dates and addresses to check availability.
Who handles building rules for the move?
The tenant is responsible for checking building rules and reserving the elevator. Full Faith adapts the plan to those requirements.
What if the truck cannot park close to the entrance?
Extended carries are common in apartment moves. Mention the distance and any obstacles in your request so the estimate reflects the actual work.
Senior Moving questions
Does Full Faith help with sorting before the move?
Yes. We recommend sorting into keep, donate, and discard piles before moving day. If you need guidance on how to organize, ask when you request the estimate.
What items should stay with the person moving?
Medicines, important documents, keys, phone chargers, glasses, and a change of clothes should travel separately.
Can Full Faith move only part of a household?
Yes. Partial moves are routine. The estimate covers only the items you decide to take.
Can a family member coordinate the move for me?
Yes. One person who can answer questions about the inventory and placement keeps the day smooth. Tell Full Faith who is coordinating and who can make decisions about the belongings.
