  • Measure the length and width of the room in feet.

    1. Multiply them: length × width = square footage.

      • Example: 12 ft × 10 ft = 120 sq ft.

    2. For L-shaped or irregular spaces, divide into rectangles, calculate each area, then add.

    This helps us recommend the right number of movers, boxes, and truck space.
