What We Do

We plan, coordinate, and supervise all aspects of a move with a completely hands-on service. From floor planning and downsizing to picture hanging and making the beds, we take care of every detail. Typical services include floor planning, sorting and decision making, professional packing, mover arrangements, and complete unpacking and resettling on moving day (beds made, pictures hung, boxes removed).

Moving Day

Imagine coming into a new home on moving day with furniture in place, clothes in the closet, phone and TV connected, beds made and picture hung. That’s the standard for a Gentle Transitions’ move.

Move Manager

Each move is directed by a Move Manager who will be there every step of the way. As an advocate, confidant, and friend, our Move Manager will cater to every need and concern throughout the move.
