Did you recently invest in a new sofa that you have had your eyes on for a while?

Getting a sofa or any furniture has to be one of the most rewarding feelings. A new sofa means investing in making your house feel more like a place you can call home. Of course, buying a new sofa is one thing. Getting it to its rightful place in your home is another deal.

Moving heavy furniture is complicated enough as it is. So many things can go wrong. Carrying a large piece of furniture means risking injury to yourself and others helping you. Imagine that you have managed to get the sofa to your home without any crushed fingers, injured backs, twisted ankles, or smashed toes, only to find that you cannot even fit it through the door!

Nothing is more frustrating than finding that you have no way to carry your new investment to its rightful place inside the house. The only option available is disassembling, moving, and reassembling the sofa.

Fancy doing it yourself? Do you even know where to begin? Furniture disassembly and reassembly is not a walk in the park. Fortunately, you can hire professional furniture movers who can handle disassembling, moving, and reassembling your new sofa for you.

Paying someone to move your sofa for you might seem like you are throwing away money on something you might prefer doing yourself.

Today, we will share some facts that can help you make a better-informed decision about why you should leave this task to the professionals.

How Long Does it Take to Disassemble and Reassemble a Sofa?

Unless you are a seasoned professional, taking apart a sofa, moving it, and putting it back together as good as new can take anywhere between six hours to a day. Of course, it depends on how many people are involved and how well they understand what they are doing.

Suppose that your sofa wasn’t designed for easy disassembly and reassembly. Taking it apart and putting it back together where you need it can be impossible without all the right tools and experience. You can permanently damage the new sofa if you do not know how to do it.

What are the Risks of Disassembling and Reassembling Your Sofa Yourself?

“I can take care of it!” is what most people say when you mention the idea of disassembling the sofa to move it. Watching YouTube videos of expert professionals doing it and doing it yourself are two different things. You need the right tools to do the job. From a pair of heavy-duty scissors to a screwdriver with a Phillip's head and safety equipment, and a tape measure, you need several different tools. Besides the tools, you also need to know how to use them properly when dismantling a sofa.

Suppose you managed to successfully take apart the sofa by cutting the fabric, carefully removing it, and taking out all the screws holding the structure together. It will become easier to move it through the door you could not fit it through previously. However, there is also the matter of putting it back together.

Depending on how hard it was to dismantle your sofa, putting it back together the way it was might be impossible if you are not an experienced professional. There is always the chance you could damage it trying to reassemble it. You might miss the screws, fit them into the wrong place, or forget about a crucial step that compromises the sofa's structure.

Why Hire Sofa Disassembly and Moving Professionals?

The simplest reason to hire professional movers experienced in furniture disassembly and reassembly is their ability to do a good job. When you hire professionals who literally rely on disassembling, moving, and reassembling furniture to earn money, you know you will get your money’s worth.

Experienced professionals know the ins and outs of dismantling all kinds of furniture, from the simplest tables to the most complex sofas. They know the best way to remove the upholstery without damaging it, removing the arms from the couch, taking apart the frame, and putting it all back together in the right sequence.

You do not need to worry about them missing any steps when reassembling the furniture for you. They keep track of all the components to ensure they get everything perfectly how you would like it. Professionals understand how to remove the upholstery carefully. The sofa has several parts sewed together or glued in place. Experienced professionals know how to take the parts apart without damaging them.

Most sofas aren’t designed to be easy to take apart entirely. However, expert sofa movers know what needs to be done to unscrew the parts without causing damage.

Apart from doing a good job, hiring professionals comes with a guarantee of a job well done. Suppose that something goes wrong and there is damage to the sofa. In that case, you can rest assured that they have the right insurance to cover the damages to make you financially whole again. Damaging the sofa while disassembling and moving it yourself means you are liable to cover the costs of any property damage.

Remember that you invested a lot of your hard-earned money into purchasing a new sofa. Why risk throwing that money away by damaging the sofa before you even get to use it?
