A Downsizing Plan for Chattanooga Households

A realistic downsizing process for deciding what fits, what moves and what should leave before packing begins.

Downsizing works best when the new floor plan leads the decisions. Measure the rooms, closets and main walls before sorting the current home. A piece can be useful and still be wrong for the new space.

Large pieces determine how much storage and walking room remain. Mark the furniture that has a clear place at the destination. Sell, donate, or give away oversized duplicates before paying to move them.

Handle coats, books, kitchen equipment and linens separately. Comparing similar items makes decisions faster than clearing a whole room at once. Use a small ‘decide later’ box, then give it a deadline.

Photograph family collections before dividing them and write names on the back of old photos. Pack keepsakes in small, well-padded cartons. Bizzy Bee Movers can coordinate the physical part through our residential moving service.

Moving experiences with Bizzy Bee Movers

We moved from out-of-state and had all of our belongings in storage while we waited to close on our new home. The closing date was decided very last-minute, so we had to book movers on about 72 hours notice. Bizzy Bee Movers was able to fit us into their schedule. They gave us a time range they would arrive and during that range, called to let me know they were running about an hour late from the previous move which I really appreciated. We paid the rate for 4 movers to make things as efficient as possible. They loaded up our 10x25 storage unit and unloaded in our 4-bedroom house about 3.5 hours, the minimum rate was for 4 hours. I was very impressed, our movers from our previous home to storage took much longer. They were very careful with everything and communicated well about the placement of each box or piece of furniture. THANK YOU to Bizzy Bee Movers for getting us moved in quickly and carefully!

Such a professional experience. The manager called during the move to make sure things were going well. The crew of movers were so polite, courteous and very careful with my belongings. I would definitely recommend Bizzy Bee Movers!

Bizzy Bee Movers exceeds all consumer protection and customer service expectations. As a professional consumer investigator, I endorse and promote the company exclusively in the moving category for that very reason, and for that reason, I hired Bizzy Bee Movers to move my wife and me across the Chattanooga area. It was the farthest move of our lives and, by far, the easiest, thanks to the tender care and attention to detail of the moving team. They made every worry and concern melt away. I marveled at how painstaking they were with each of our belongings, how they packed the van like professional Tetris players, each belonging lovingly fitted into nooks and crannies designed not only for efficient travel, but also for protection. It’s obvious the team members have worked together for years. They finish each other’s sentences and share the same principles that give customers peace of mind in their most stressful times. When the move ends in hugs and a little lump in your throat when you watch them leave in that Bizzy Bee Movers van, you realize you really did make the Wise Choice. 🔎🦉☺️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The crew were there right on time! They gave us an 8-10 arrival and they showed up at 8:30am. They were very professional, dressed nice, polite, and easy to work with! I had a few extra boxes I asked them to load up with the furniture, and they had no issue adding this in to their to do list. Everything was delicately wrapped and taped appropriately for the transport. They took good care with our furniture. One chest of drawers is a family antique, and it made it through the move with no issues. They made sure to ask where everything went when delivering and unloading our furniture. They started at 8:30am, loaded, transported, unloaded and set up, and were gone before noon!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about these guys. I will use this company again and ask for this exact team! If I could, I would give them 1,000,000 stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The crew were all super fun and professional. I wnjoyed the music, laughter , and their playful banter as they took excellent care to wrap and carefully pack all my belongings. They worked efficiently and thoroughly to get the job done without it feeling rushed or too slow. I’d recommend this company to anyone who needs top notch moving services.

I hired a team of 3 for a large moving job. The movers were 2 1/2 hours late coming from another job. Despite being so late, the team was very nice and did their best to work quickly and carefully. There was a lot to move and even though they were extremely tired by the end, they were very friendly and continued to smile and stay positive. They stayed until 2:45AM to finish the big items for us but we still had to finish the rest of the pod ourselves the next day. They would have stayed to finish the job, but we could tell they were absolutely exhausted and needed rest. All around they were a very nice crew that I would recommend but would shoot for a day when they are available in the morning rather than the afternoon incase things take longer than expected.
