Common questions
What people ask before a move
What determines the cost of a move?
The four main factors are the volume of your belongings, the distance between the two addresses, stairs and elevator access at each end, and the date. Packing, furniture disassembly and specialty items such as pianos are priced separately.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to four weeks ahead is a good rule for a weekday move. Weekends, month-end dates and the summer season fill up first, so book those earlier. We also try to fit short-notice moves when a crew is free.
Are my belongings protected during the move?
Yes. On interstate moves, federal rules require movers to offer two options. Released Value protection is included at no extra charge but covers only 60 cents per pound per article. Full Value Protection costs more and makes the mover liable for the replacement value of lost or damaged items, subject to the terms of your estimate.
Do I have to pack everything myself?
No. We can pack the whole home, or you can leave the fragile items to us and box up clothing and books yourself.
