Retail Fixture Moving in the Sacramento Valley

Fixture moves live inside someone else's schedule. A mall usually gives tenants a move-in packet covering the service corridor, dock booking, freight elevator, cart type, floor covering and the hours after shoppers leave. We work to that packet and send the certificate of insurance the property asks for before the dock is booked.

The other schedule is the build-out. On a new or remodeled space, paint, flooring and lighting trades often finish in the same week the fixtures arrive. Ask your contractor which zones are released, and we rebuild those first, leaving wet floors and ladders alone. Evening and weekend rebuilds can be booked on request.

Tall showcases and long gondola bases rarely fit through a mall storefront's customer entrance, so we measure the service route at both addresses before the date, including any tight corner between the corridor and the stockroom door.

The photo set and location key protect the rebuild more than any pad does. Each run is shot from both ends before teardown, and each hardware bag, shelf stack and case carries the code from the key. We note chipped edges, cracked glass and missing clips on the key as we go, so your lead can order replacements from the fixture supplier while the move is still underway.

On the truck, finished ends are padded face to face, glass is boxed upright, and mannequin parts are wrapped one by one so a hand does not end up in a stack of shelves. At the new floor we level each gondola run on its feet, square it to the plan, and set shelf heights to match the teardown photos unless the new plan says otherwise.

Wall-hung slatwall, lit showcases and anything anchored to the floor wait for the installer or electrician to release them.
