Local Moving Services

The earlier, the better! We get booked up fast, especially during our peak season from May to September. For a local move, we recommend booking 3-4 weeks in advance. If you’re planning a long-distance move, aim for 4-6 weeks if possible.

That said, we understand that life doesn’t always allow for perfect planning. If you need to move on shorter notice, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’ll do our best to accommodate you, even for last-minute moves. Give us a call at 203-000-9999.

We believe in transparent pricing, so let’s break it down. For local moves, we charge an hourly rate based on the number of movers needed. We have a three-hour minimum charge to cover our basic costs. A full breakdown of our local moving charges are explained here.

In addition to the hourly rate, we charge a transportation fee and fuel surcharge based on mileage. These fees cover the time and fuel it takes our team to get to and from your location.

For long-distance moves, any move over 40 miles, we typically base the cost on the weight or volume of your belongings and the distance of the move.

Keep in mind that additional services like packing or handling specialty items will increase the cost. We’ll provide a detailed estimate upfront, but the final cost may adjust based on the actual time and labor involved. The good news? About 80-90% of our moves come in under the estimated price!

Yes, please! We require all furniture drawers and cabinets to be completely empty before moving. This isn’t just us being picky – it’s for the safety of your belongings and our team. Empty drawers make furniture lighter and easier to move safely. Plus, it prevents damage to your furniture and protects the items that would otherwise be rattling around inside.

We once had a situation where a pair of baby socks got stuck in a drawer track and caused major issues. Trust us, it’s better to empty those drawers.

For large appliances like washers, dryers, or refrigerators, here’s what you need to do:

1. Disconnect them from power, water, and gas lines. For liability reasons, our team can’t do this part.
2. Clean and dry them thoroughly to prevent mold growth.
3. Secure any moving parts or removable components.
4. For refrigerators and freezers, defrost at least 24 hours before the move.

For smaller appliances, pack them in their original boxes if possible. If not, wrap them well and pack in sturdy boxes.

We take extra care with TVs to ensure they arrive safely. We require all TVs to be boxed before we load them onto our trucks. If you have the original box, that’s perfect! If not, don’t worry – we offer TV box rentals for $25 each.

Our TV boxes are specially designed with foam padding to protect your TV during the move. You’ll need to remove the TV from its stand or wall mount before we arrive. We’ll handle the rest.

Nope, we’ve got you covered! Our team brings all the necessary equipment and materials, including moving blankets, dollies, straps, tape, and plastic wrap. If you’re doing your own packing, you’ll need to supply boxes and packing materials. But for the actual move, we bring everything we need.

We require all mattresses to be covered in plastic mattress bags before we load them onto our truck. This keeps them clean, dry, and protected during the move.

We provide mattress bags for a small fee (around $10-12 per mattress). You’re also welcome to purchase your own from a home improvement store or online retailer. Just make sure to get the right size for your mattress.
