Don't Let Damage Ruin Moving Day
A successful move isn’t just about getting your stuff from point A to point B. It’s about arriving damage-free—without scratched walls, scuffed floors, or dented door frames. That’s why we created this moving day protection checklist—to help you protect your home while MoverBuddy protects your doorways.
With our signature adjustable door frame protectors, MoverBuddy gives you an edge on moving day. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, mover, or property manager, these simple tools can save you time, money, and frustration.
The Essential Moving Day Protection Checklist
1. Install MoverBuddy Door Frame Protectors
Your first step should be shielding entryways. MoverBuddy’s foam-padded door frame protectors adjust to fit most standard and oversized door frames. They prevent scratches, paint chips, and dents—protecting both your home and your belongings.
2. Wrap Furniture and Appliances
Use moving blankets or stretch wrap to protect sharp corners and surfaces. For glass, mirrors, or appliances, consider foam padding for extra protection.
3. Protect Your Floors
Heavy furniture can easily damage hardwood, tile, or carpet. Use adhesive floor protection, cardboard runners, or drop cloths to shield floors from dirt and scratches.
4. Guard Wall Corners
Foam edge guards are a great tool for tight corners and narrow halls. They're easy to apply and prevent scuffs when maneuvering large furniture.
5. Measure Doorways and Hallways in Advance
Know your dimensions! Pre-measuring helps avoid risky maneuvers that can cause accidental damage.
6. Use Proper Moving Equipment
Dollies, sliders, and lifting straps make heavy moves safer—for both people and property. MoverBuddy’s protectors keep doorways safe as large furniture rolls through.
