"I highly, highly recommend Best Moving Service. From the moment I emailed the company and then called and spoke with Doug for a quote, everything was handled with utmost professionalism, and they made it all as easy as possible. The information was all provided in a clear and honest manner, and the company was very diligent about confirming everything. As a veteran of numerous moves, including cross country moves -- and thus a veteran of every type of positive and negative experience -- I was somewhat stressed about this small move because we were on a very tight schedule. Turns out there was nothing to worry about. Art and Albert showed up right on time, the move went quickly and smoothly and with great care for our items, and we were all incredibly pleased by the experience. We have a couple of other moves coming up in the future, and Best Moving Service will be our go-to!"

"The move couldn't have gone better. Communication was excellent, and the timing of the move went exactly as expected. The gentlemen who performed the move were friendly, professional, and very careful. Their experience was very evident. I would definitely hire Affordable Piano Movers again, should the need to move my piano comes up. A+++++"

"All moves are stressful because there are a lot of moving parts (pun intended) but Derek and his team, both the So Cal AND the Boise folks, were just top notch. There's not enough time or space to convey what I was most impressed with about A-R, the company, or Derek Zimmer, chief in charge. Derek is just masterful when it comes to the tetris, puzzle + geometry of efficient packing and loading. But it is his clear, calm demeanor that made the difference in my overall satisfaction with his services. In the realm of moving and relocation services, he is wise beyond his years and I can highly recommend his company, A-R Moving."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Let me just say, if you're planning a long-distance move, look no further than Let's Move It Right. They exceeded all my expectations. The team was courteous and professional, keeping me updated throughout the entire process. They worked efficiently, and despite the long haul, nothing was damaged. The movers even helped me rearrange a few things in the new place, which I wasn’t expecting but really appreciated. The moving price was more than fair, especially considering the quality of service. Moving is stressful, but these guys made it a breeze. Highly recommend."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.

Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You’ll still need to lift the dolly—with the couch on it—up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.

If you don’t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.

No, homeowners insurance does not typically cover moving expenses. Homeowners insurance provides coverage and pay-outs if you experience damage to the home you currently live in. You’ll need to save separately for moving expenses like hiring movers, renting a tow truck, or shipping your belongings.

Depending on the type of expense, it is possible to deduct moving costs on your taxes. For example, you can deduct for packing, crating, insurance, in-transit storage, and using a trailer. However, you cannot deduct expenses such as moving furniture, security deposits, and home buying and selling expenses.

Moving a grill by yourself is possible, as long as you’re careful. If your grill has wheels, you can simply wheel it to your desired location—or to a moving vehicle if you’re transporting it to a new location. Before moving a grill, make sure it’s cool and clean. And, if you need help moving heavy furniture items, a pro can help.

When moving yourself, you should consider the non-monetary costs, such as time spent and physical and mental stress. If you’re packing and moving every box on your own, or with the help of a few volunteers, you can expect the process to take several days or even weeks. While it’s a less expensive option than hiring full-service movers, keep in mind that the process will be much more difficult.
