How we handle Senior & Downsizing
A downsizing move is as much about patience as muscle. We work at your pace, keep the keepsakes safe, coordinate the move-in window with the community, and unpack and arrange the new place so nothing feels overwhelming, from the Millsboro and Long Neck communities to Ocean View and beyond.
A flat price handed to you before we start, never a ticking clock
Plenty of shore movers set you on an hourly rate and let the clock settle your bill. Mary does it differently: she hands you a single flat price beforehand, with the boxing, the careful wrapping, and any container or POD loading already inside it, so the total never creeps while her crew works.
Tell us about it
Tell Mary about the home, the staircases and the beach-house access, what still needs boxing, and the dates you are looking at, by phone, by text, or on a short video tour.
Get a flat price
Mary sends back one flat price, most often that same day, with nothing left up in the air.
Book when it feels right
Nothing is owed for the quote and there is no push to commit. You book only when both the price and the date feel right to you.

Mary’s own crew. The personal touch. Nobody farmed out.
Your move is never handed off to a broker or to day-labor you have never met. The people boxing your kitchen and carrying your furniture are Mary’s own crew, hands like James and Nick who have been at this for years, and Mary herself oversees every job from the first call to the last carton.

Senior & Downsizing FAQs
Do you help with senior and downsizing moves?
All the time, and it is some of our favorite work. Mary and the crew move patiently into the 55-plus communities around Millsboro, Long Neck, and Ocean View, help sort and downsize, and set the new place up so it feels like home from day one.
How is the flat price kept firm?
Mary looks at what you are actually moving and how tricky the access is, gives you one price, and holds to it. As long as the load matches what you described, move day lands on that exact flat price, with no meter and no rounding up at the end.
What keeps my floors, walls, and things safe?
Runners go down on the floors, the door frames and railings get padded, and every piece is wrapped before it moves, so the old place and the new one both come through clean and nothing gets so much as a scratch.
Do you move pianos and antiques?
Yes, moving those pieces is already covered by your flat price. Pianos, antiques, curio cabinets, and the rest of the delicate, awkward pieces are wrapped, padded, and carried by folks who box things for a living, so the fragile pieces reach the new home just as they left.
How much notice should I give?
A week or two out suits most moves, and summer weekends and month-ends fill up soonest. When the crew has a gap we will still take a short-notice or next-day job, so a quick call to Mary is always worth it.
Do you take a deposit?
A small refundable deposit reserves your crew and your date, and that is the only thing owed up front. The rest is paid once the job is complete, and the quote is always free of charge.
Ready for a flat price you can plan the whole beach move around?
Your flat price comes straight from Mary, usually the same day you ask.
