So the time has come to move into a new home or office, and your schedule is busier than ever. Not only do you have to fulfill your regular responsibilities, but you also must call utility companies, pay deposits, and ensure everything is prepared for the big day. When moving day does arrive, you will likely find that, even though you have been preparing for weeks or even months in advance, there are things you didn’t consider until the last minute. When you begin moving heavy furniture on hardwood floors, you can quickly find it can cause damage, and there are some ways to make this process easier and less dangerous to your floors.
Also known as “skates”, rubber wheels are made specifically for quick and easy application to large furniture items. Just as the name applies, the skates allow for a once cumbersome item to have the ability to easily roll around on your flooring. Although they are somewhat expensive, you can save them for your next move. Not to mention, they can save you even more in damages when the move is completed, allowing you to keep your security deposit and avoid expensive repairs.

Another viable option is to use a dolly to wheel your heavy furniture across the floor. However, keep in mind that certain items such as the refrigerator can still prove difficult to mount onto the dolly. For these items, it’s worth the investment to buy or rent a hard-wheeled dolly to get the job done.
When using a dolly, it’s important to properly prepare. After all, your primary purpose is to make the job easier with less danger to your beautiful hardwood floors. First, cover the floor with blankets throughout the home where you will be rolling the furniture through. For even further protection, place sturdy boards on top of the blankets. It takes a little more time, but it can prove well worth it.
