Sacramento Movers and How to Move a Chandelier!

Trying to pack and move your chandelier can be a troublesome task. Depending on the size and the complexity of your chandelier, it may be useful to have one or two people helping you.

The first step would be to remove the power and slowly remove the chandelier onto a thick towel or a blanket. Be sure to keep all of the nails and screws in a safe place where you know that you won't lose them! Depending on your chandelier, remove any dangling and removable pieces. Such as individual crystals, light bulbs, shades, etc. With each individual piece, I recommend wrapping them up in soft pieces of cloth and putting them in their own individual box. Be sure not to use printed newspaper or the ink may rub onto the pieces and leave stain on your precious pieces.

Now you should be left with the lamp itself. You can either wrap the whole think with towels and blankets and securing it with tape. Or you may want to purchase bubble wrap and wrapping the lamp with three layers of it. The safest way to move your chandelier will be to put it back in its original packing material. However most people wouldn't hold onto that. Measure the size of your chandelier and find a box that's big enough for it. Fill big gaps with towels or blankets and fill the rest with other packaging material.

Hope these tips will help you and your beloved chandelier on your next move!
