Press Add a room and name it: kitchen, guest bedroom, garage. - Set item counts. Use the steppers to count sofas, beds, dressers, boxes and other items in that room. - Flag special pieces. Mark fragile, high-value or oversize items so they stand out in the list. - Review the list. The total updates below as you work. - Print or attach. Print a copy for yourself, or attach the list to your estimate request. An inventory is one of the most useful documents in a move. It sets what the estimator prices, what the crew loads and what you check off at delivery. Making one at home takes under an hour with this builder, and the result is cleaner than a list scribbled on the back of an envelope. ## Why an inventory matters The estimator sees your home once. The crew on move day sees it again. An inventory written beforehand keeps both visits consistent. It is also a good companion to the itemized inventory and condition report that is done before packing begins. For the formal side, see [the moving inventory and high-value items](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-inventory/). ## Rooms worth listing carefully Garages and basements hide the most. Tools, shelving, lawn equipment, bikes and seasonal bins add up and are easy to forget. Closets matter too, because a wardrobe box counts as a carton. List storage rooms with the same care as living rooms. For a garage walk-through, read [how to pack a garage and tools](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/how-to-pack-a-garage/). ## High-value and fragile pieces Photograph anything valuable and write its description in the flags. Note existing scratches or chips. If you plan to declare an item's value, the inventory is the place to record it. The page on [released value and full value protection](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/valuation-released-vs-full-value/) explains the choices. ## What the builder cannot tell you It cannot weigh anything and it gives no price. It also cannot replace the in-home visit, where the estimator checks sizes, access, stairs and parking. Think of it as the first draft your estimator will refine with you, and you will end up with a list that matches the home. ## Privacy The list is saved in your own browser and nowhere else until you press the attach button. Clear your browser data and it is gone. Print a copy if you want to keep it. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [FMCSA, Ready to Move?

Tell your estimator at the in-home visit and the list is updated. ### Do I have to use it before the estimate? No. It simply makes the visit faster. ### Should I list boxes I have not packed yet? Add an estimated count. The [packing calculator](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/packing-calculator/) can suggest one. ### Is the printout the carrier's official inventory? No. The formal inventory is prepared by the carrier. Yours is your own record and a head start. ## 4.3 stars from 71 Google reviews What customers say about O'Brien's [Read more reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/)[See them on Google](https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=17335326057105140938) N Nadine K.
