7 Reasons to Hire a Professional Bed Disassembly Service Before Your Move

The average price of a bed in Canada is around $1050. Get something with a recline function and speakers, and you’re looking at a cost of around $8,500. Plus, add in the mattress and you’re on the hook for another few thousand dollars. Your bed is, really, an investment, which you need to protect during the move. That’s why hiring a bed disassembly service makes sense for a lot of people.

Find out if hiring a disassembly service is worth it for you, why you should consider hiring one, and the benefits it offers.

Let’s be honest, moving can be pricey enough. The idea of adding a bed disassembly service might seem like another hit to your budget. So is it worth getting, or is it a wasteful indulgence?

Time is money – If you are taking time off work to disassemble furniture, that’s just money down the drain. Ask yourself if taking that day off is worth it, instead of having the professionals do it.

Risk of injury – Even a minor injury, such as back pain, will eat into your productivity and personal life. Are thousands of dollars on medication and physiotherapy worth more than spending on a bed disassembly service that costs hundreds? We didn’t think so.

Damage can’t be undone – We’ve heard plenty of tales of “We lost the bag of screws during the move”, and “I accidentally bent the frame”. Again, ask yourself if you’d rather risk catastrophic damage to your bed frame and mattress or call furniture disassembly professionals.

Better for insurance – In case your bed is covered under insurance or warranty, not calling a team of professionals may violate the T&Cs.

In most cases, calling a team of professional bed disassemblers and assemblers is the more cost-effective option.

When you’re knee-deep in a move, the last thing you want is to spend precious hours wrestling with complex bed frame fittings. Trying disassemble even ‘simple’ bed frames can take around 30 minutes. Larger bed frames, can easily take two or more hours. That’s time you could be spending on packing up. Alternatively, that’s paid/unpaid time off from work you could have saved yourself, had you opted for a bed disassembly service.

Moving day is most likely going to involve heavy lifting, tight stairwells, and awkward angles—there’s no reason to further weaken your back with furniture. Straining your back or pulling a muscle is not only painful but can also derail the rest of your moving plans.

When you hire a bed disassembly service, you’ll have people who know how to handle large, cumbersome furniture safely. Instead of wrestling with a large mattress in a narrow hallway, you can have the pros take care of the hard work.

When people handle their own beds—especially large bed frames—the first surprise is how weighty they can seem. That’s when impatience starts to set in, and headboards get scratched, frames get chipped, and screws get lost in the haste.

When you hire a professional bed disassembly service, you can trust the professionals to bag screws, use protective padding, and handle pieces in a way that reduces the risk of damage.

It’s not just your bed frame that’s at risk, your walls, door frames, and floors can take a beating during a move, too. Nothing hampers the excitement of a move more than discovering dented drywall or scratched hardwood during furniture disassembly. If you are moving from a condo, that’s an even easier mistake to make since you have less room to maneuver the bed.

Professionals have the right gear—like floor runners or corner guards—to protect your property. That means you can save yourself the major to-dos of repairing damaged walls and floors at your old place.

Speaking of the right gear, furniture disassembly doesn’t just require a power screwdriver. Bed frames, especially higher-end units, tend to use a wide range of screw types, connections, and joints. The most modern beds will even include electrical connections for things like lighting and heating. Buying specialized tools for these is a wasted expense for you, as you’re unlikely to use them again in the near future.

Instead, your bed disassembly service arrives equipped with everything needed to disassemble your furniture. What’s more, if they are taking care of the move, too, then they’ll have specialized moving equipment, such as portable trolleys, that can make shifting furniture that much easier.

The job isn’t done with disassembly. Once it’s broken down, you need to prepare the bed frame and mattress for a safe move. Again, the professionals will have moving blankets, corner guards, wraps, and protective ends to protect the furniture and your property.

Not all beds are purely functional. Some have aesthetic, antique value; others may be heirlooms; and yet others may have significant historical value, which means they need to be handled with care. Licensed and insured professionals will know how to handle it delicately.

They will plan out the work in a way that keeps the risk of damage to a minimum, unlike the owner who may be looking to be done with the job as quickly as possible.
