General Moving Questions

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking your move at least 2–4 weeks in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak moving seasons like summer and the end of the month.

Do you provide both local and long-distance moving services?

 Yes, we offer both local and long-distance moves. Whether you’re relocating across town or across the state, we’ve got you covered.

Are you licensed and insured?

Absolutely. Our company is fully licensed and insured for your peace of mind. We follow all state and federal regulations for moving companies.

Do you move homes and businesses?

Yes, we provide residential and commercial moving services. We handle everything from studio apartments to full office relocations.

Packing & Preparation

Can you help me pack my belongings?

 Yes! We offer full and partial packing services using high-quality packing materials to ensure your items are secure.

What items should I pack separately?

We recommend you personally pack essentials like medications, jewelry, important documents, and valuables. These should stay with you during the move.

Do you provide packing supplies?

 Yes, we can provide boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, wardrobe boxes, and more—either included with your move or available for purchase.

How should I label my boxes?

Clearly label each box with its contents and destination room. Color-coded labels and “fragile” stickers can also help with organization.

Pricing & Payment

How is the cost of my move calculated?

Local moves are typically based on hourly rates, while long-distance moves are priced by the weight and distance. We provide transparent, written estimates upfront.

Do you require a deposit to book a move?

 Yes, we usually request a small deposit to reserve your moving date. The deposit will be applied to your final bill.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, major credit cards, and in some cases, checks. Payment is typically due upon completion of the move.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. We believe in transparent pricing. Any additional charges (like stairs or long carry fees) will be clearly explained before the move.
