Nashville Specialty-Item Moving Planning Sheet: heavy, fragile, oversized and high-value items need more planning than ordinary boxes and furniture. Use this Nashville specialty-item moving sheet before requesting a quote so the crew can review the item, the route through both properties and the placement plan.

1. Identify the item precisely
- Item type, maker and model, when available
- Height, width, depth and estimated weight
- Loose, removable or fragile components
- Current condition photos from several angles
- Any manufacturer, technician or warranty requirements
2. Document pickup and delivery access
- Doorway, hallway, stair and elevator measurements
- Number of steps, landings and tight turns
- Distance from the item to the truck parking position
- Loading-dock, building, HOA or elevator-reservation rules
- Surface conditions such as hardwood, tile, gravel, grass or steep driveways
- Low branches, gates, narrow entries or other outdoor restrictions
3. Item-specific planning
- Pianos: identify upright, baby grand or grand; record keyboard height, leg/pedal details, stairs and final room location. See JM Moving’s Nashville piano moving page.
- Pool tables: note table size, slate configuration, accessory inventory and whether a qualified technician is needed for leveling. See the Nashville pool-table planning page.
- Fine art and antiques: record materials, dimensions, condition, frame or glass details and any crating or climate sensitivity. Use the fine-art and antique mover checklist.
- Safes, gym equipment and other heavy items: provide estimated weight, anchoring details, detachable parts, floor type and the full access path. JM Moving will confirm whether the item and route can be handled safely.
4. Ask what the quote covers
Request a written explanation of the crew size, equipment, protection, disassembly, reassembly, travel, stairs, long carries and any item-specific work. JM Moving’s published standard local pricing is $250 per hour for two movers and a truck or $350 per hour for three movers and a truck. Published local flat-rate starting points are $350 for a studio or one-bedroom move, $550 for a two- or three-bedroom move and $850 for a four-bedroom-or-larger move. Specialty items and difficult access can change the scope, so the exact price is confirmed after a call or walkthrough.
5. Confirm the final plan before moving day
- Send current photos and measurements.
- Confirm pickup and delivery addresses, parking and access times.
- Identify any third-party technician, building manager or elevator contact.
- Agree on what will be disconnected, emptied or prepared in advance.
- Confirm the final placement room and orientation.
- Review the written scope and exact price before the crew arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Specialty-Item Moves
What details should I provide for a specialty item?
Share the item type, dimensions, estimated weight, current-condition photos, removable parts, and any manufacturer or technician requirements.
Which access measurements matter most?
Measure doors, hallways, stair turns, elevators, gates, and the carrying distance between the item and legal truck parking.
Can JM Moving confirm specialty-item pricing by phone alone?
The team may need photos, measurements, access details, or a walkthrough before confirming the exact written scope and price.
Should a piano or pool table be prepared before moving day?
Ask JM Moving what preparation is included and whether a qualified third-party technician is needed. Do not disassemble specialty equipment unless the written plan assigns that work to you.
