How Local Moving Works

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend booking your local move at least two weeks in advance, especially during peak moving seasons (spring and summer). The further in advance you plan, the better chances you have of securing the date and time that suits your schedule. Early booking also enables our team time to accommodate special requests.

Each move is unique, and the most accurate way to determine costs is through an in-home estimate. Our local moving rates depend on the number of movers, trucks, and time spent. The final price can vary depending on the distance between locations, the volume of items, and add-on services (such as packing and storage).

Our professional local movers are trained in furniture disassembly and reassembly. We also handle and arrange pieces and sets according to client preferences. This process helps make your move seamless and ensures your new home matches your wishes.

Before moving, declutter and sort your belongings to minimize the volume of loose items. Pack non-essential items first, label boxes clearly, and create an inventory list. Donate unnecessary items to streamline the process. On moving day, clear walkways, arrange for pets and young children to be out of the way, and communicate special instructions to the moving crew before they begin.

Our professionals work in rain, cold, and heat. Nevertheless, your Move Coordinator will work with you and your movers to determine the best steps forward. If your move will occur on a day with rain or snow, you can facilitate your move with some simple tweaks to adjust for inclement weather.
