Is Your Large Furniture Hard To Move? Consider Georgetown Moving and Storage’s Furniture Hoisting Services!
When you moved into your current house, you might have bought a king-size bed frame and assembled it in your main bedroom. Now that it’s time to move again, you have no idea how to get it downstairs in one piece.
Doorways, corridors, and staircases are often too narrow for large furniture items — including pianos, TVs, couches, beds, and appliances — to pass through. If you can’t bear to leave these possessions behind, hoisting services from Georgetown Moving and Storage Company may be just what you need.
Georgetown Moving is one of the top moving companies that hoist furniture in the DC and Northern Virginia areas!

Furniture Hoisting Services in the DC Area
Hoisting is the process of lifting and lowering items with a tether strap. Three experienced movers are required to hoist your large furniture items out the window, onto the roof, or over a balcony.
Two movers raise or lower the furniture while a third guides the piece away from any obstacles. Once at ground level, it’s easy to carry the item the rest of the way to the moving truck.
We take special care when hoisting furniture to prevent damaging the item or building. For instance, if we’re lowering a dresser over the balcony in your living room, we’ll cover the banister with a moving blanket first, so it doesn’t get dented or scratched in the process.
Furniture hoisting is a delicate procedure that requires careful training and experience. You should never attempt to hoist bulky furniture items from the upper levels of your home without help from a professional mover.
Craning Services
If a furniture item, such as a grand piano, is too heavy to hoist “by hand,” we’ll use a crane to lower it to ground level. This requires special prepping and rigging. Depending on street access, we may need to obtain a permit or police detail to perform this service.
Insuring Large, Expensive Belongings
Items that require hoisting or craning are often high in value. For your peace of mind, Georgetown Moving and Storage Company offers insurance protection for all the belongings we move.
Your first option is Basic Valuation Protection, available free of charge for all customers. This provides coverage for up to $0.60 per pound with an upper limit of $50 per item.
When you need more than basic coverage for your large, expensive belongings, you can purchase Full Value Protection with coverage starting at $6 per pound.
If any items in your move are valued at more than $100 per pound, we’ll ask you to fill out a special shipping document declaring this possession an item of extraordinary value. We’re one of only a handful of movers to provide this option for furniture.
