Damage during a move
Answer: call a mover.
Furniture scratches, dented walls, broken items, and floor scuffs are common during moves — especially DIY ones without proper equipment. Professional movers use padding, straps, floor runners, and door-frame protectors to prevent damage. If damage has already occurred, a moving company can assess claims, while a handyman can repair drywall dings and floor scratches.
