Q: Why would a house need to be moved?

• <div><p>A house may need to be moved due to land redevelopment, to avoid demolition, to preserve a historic structure, to adapt to zoning changes, or to relocate to a safer or more desirable location because of climate change.</p></div>

Q: How difficult is it to move a washer and dryer?

• <div><p>Moving a washer and dryer can be difficult due to the appliances&rsquo; weight and size. If you need to move these appliances up or down stairs, then it will be more challenging. It also depends on the type of dryer you have, as a gas dryer is more complicated to disconnect than an electric dryer. The difficulty of the task also depends on whether you&rsquo;re easily wheeling the washer and dryer up a moving truck&rsquo;s loading ramp or lifting them yourself. </p></div>

Q: What is the average cost of moving to another state?

• <div><p>It costs an average of $4,565 to move out of state, but prices vary significantly based on the specifics of your move. Your total price tag will depend on the load size and the distance you&rsquo;re traveling, but you can expect it to cost significantly more to move out of state than locally.</p></div>

Q: Can I move my house to another state?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no one-size-fits-all answer to how far you can move your house. Interstate moves will involve additional permits and regulations, with some states having different requirements than others. The most important factor relating to the distance you can move a house is the route that has to be taken to get there. In areas with narrow, winding roads, hilly terrain, and low-clearance bridges, it can be very difficult and expensive to move a home long distances.</p></div>

I've used this company for roofing as well as interior flooring. Cannot recommend enough. The only problem I have is after we move to Staunton VA next year I'll be too far to use them any more.

Shampoo carpet for pet urine smell. Smell is greatly improved - would probably take two shampoos to remove entirely. Not the fault of the company though. My only beef is that sehyo showed up an hour early and did not move the couch, to get under the couch, as asked.
