"Moving is a difficult, often stressful time, and I was so pleased with the movers and  this moving company!    I will definitely use them again, and based on my experience am happy to recommend them to friends and colleagues.
Making the arrangements for the move by phone was quick and easy.  They quoted me very accurately for the move, which i appreciated - no last-minute unexpected higher costs at all.
The movers arrived within 10 minutes of the scheduled time.   i was grateful they agreed to 9 am and not their 8:30 am usual time, so i had a little more time for morning preparations.
The movers were friendly, but also very professional and knowledgeable about the move.  They were the ideal combination of unobtrusive, but offered advice and reassurance when needed.   They were also extremely fast and efficient - much quicker than i anticipated, and had I been better prepared and had fewer personal items, the move would not have taken 4 hours. 
We had expected to have to hoist my sofa from the 3rd floor windows to the ground.   This would have been $100 extra, which i agreed upon during the booking process.   The movers determined onsite that they could move the sofa down the stairwell and not charge me the $100, which i also appreciated.
At the new place they checked with  me on where i wanted each furniture item, so they could set it up for me properly the first time, and were patient about moving boxes that were better suited in a different area, or the storage unit.
i was unsure how and how much to tip them, and so asked them in general what happened, and they were very gracious in how they responded, leaving it up to me, and appreciative of the cash tips received.

"We heard of all service moving from a family members’ recommendation. Move went very smoothly! Nathaniel, SeaBass and Dominic really took care of our furniture, everything was neatly wrapped up so nothing would get damaged. Would hire again!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

Hot tubs are very difficult to transport to a different location. For reference, a standard hot tub weighs about 800 pounds. This job requires several people, plus the necessary equipment and safety measures to ensure a safe delivery. That’s why it’s usually best to leave it to a team of moving professionals.

If you’re moving other large items that require professional help, you should consider having movers assist you with those as well—especially if they can fit in the same moving truck together. Consider bundling the move with large items like a piano, safe, or large pieces of furniture.

Moving a washer and dryer can be difficult due to the appliances’ 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’re easily wheeling the washer and dryer up a moving truck’s loading ramp or lifting them yourself.

The level of difficulty for this type of move depends on the size of the safe. However, even a small gun safe can weigh several hundred pounds. Since gun safes are large and bulky, they are typically difficult to move and transport unless you have the right equipment and plenty of professional help.

There are generally three ways to ship furniture to another state: hiring professional movers, using consolidated freight, or through parcel shipping. Professional movers will generally pack your boxes in a truck and transport them to a storage facility or directly to your home. 

A consolidated freight service will pack, load, and ship your items, but this is best to use for one or two pieces since your items will take longer to be delivered and will share truck space with other items. Parcel shipping such as UPS and FedEx is best for smaller items since there are size limits, and you’ll have to drop the boxes off at a local branch.
