"Fog City called Thursday night for a Saturday move and advised the time frame for pickup and drop off.  The window in both cases was one hour, a pleasant surprise, because sometimes people will tell you a four hour window and then you're stuck waiting.
They arrived at the pickup location in San Carlos early, which cause some scrambling on my part!   Next time I'll know that they are punctual.  They picked up the piano and transported it to San Francisco with an intermediate stop for another customer, arriving in San Francisco ahead of schedule, however this time we were ready for them.
They carefully and professionally maneuvered the piano up two long flights of stairs into a third floor condominium and were exceedingly polite and helpful to everyone, including the other tenants.    I would certainly use them again, and am happy to recommend them to Angie's list subscribers.

"Shamrock is great. We were moving from two smaller homes in order to sell them and then buy a home together. So, we needed to store everything for an unknown period of time before moving it all into our new home. Shamrock came and gave excellent estimates for each home to move everything into storage and how much storage rates would be per month. The estimator was very experienced and was able to give an accurate estimate for the volume, number of movers, and overall cost based on all the factors of the homes (stairs, etc.). The movers came and attached scannable codes to every item and box and moved everything with care and precision. We found the whole company to be very professional, helpful, and nice. Our belongings arrived in the new home safe and in the same condition as when we had packed it. I would definitely hire Shamrock again."

"It went wonderfully. This was my second excellent experience with Precision Moving. The men were prepared and worked very hard loading (from my second floor apartments) m furniture and belongings, nearly filling a 32' truck. There was some distance in the move (LA County to Santa Barbara County, so I thought it could have been more costly than it turned out to be."

"The White Glove Movers moved all the contents of my home to a new home 3 1/2 hours away. From the first moment I am at and receive my estimate from The White Glove Movers, I had immediate confidence in their ability to move me without a hitch. Their word is their bond. If they say they will call you back they call you back immediately I received my estimate within hours after meeting with The White Glove Movers. Follow up until moving day was great… I received email letting me know that they were ready to move me and that my moving date was a fast approaching, Always with the message to reach out if I had any questions. When I did reach out with questions prior to move date, they were quick to respond. Every step of the way I was being assured that all would go well. Moving day came and the two gentlemen and that came to move me, Erik and Ronnie, immediately instill confidence in me. They were ever so careful with my boxes… All my items. They were quick and efficient… But most of all, they were professional, courteous and kind. all of my items arrived in great condition. unpacking was quick! I was treated so well all the way around by The White Glove Movers that I would highly and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone moving. They made a very emotional and life-changing experience pleasant and stress free. Thank you The White Glove Movers...?? BRAVO BRAVO! ??"

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Yes, many office moving costs are tax deductible, but only businesses are eligible to deduct moving expenses on their taxes. Personal moves, such as relocating for a new job or moving from an apartment to a house, are not deductible. 

However, not all business taxes are deductible by that business. Deductible business moving expenses are limited to the direct costs associated with relocating office supplies and equipment. This process encompasses brokerage fees for securing a new location, space surveys, packing, loading, transportation, and unpacking. Costs related to moving employees or other indirect expenses are not eligible for tax deductions.

To treat office moving costs as capital expenses, which means recording them as assets, they must meet certain rules: they need to be essential for the business to keep running, directly related to the move, reasonable, and documented properly with invoices and contracts. These costs can include packing, transportation, and setting up the new office. Once these expenses are capitalized, they're treated like assets on the books and gradually accounted for over time through depreciation or amortization.

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.

Moving straps like forearm or shoulder straps can usually support up to 800 pounds, sometimes more with specialized straps. However, that doesn’t mean that one person can always lift that much weight, just that the straps are rated for that amount. For example, some straps require two people working together to balance the weight of the heavy item.

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: 

  • Is there anything your company won’t move? 

  • Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?

  • Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? 

  • Are there packing restrictions?

  • Can you guarantee my delivery date?

  • Can you provide references? 

  • What do you charge extra for?

  • What is your cancellation policy?
