This was NOT an easy task and they did an excellent job, were on time, courteous and professional, and got the piano moved in gently to its new home on the second floor. Highly recommend hiring them if you need a piano moved!"

They showed up on time, packed my fragile items carefully, and loaded everything quickly. I appreciated their honesty—no upselling, no hidden fees, just straightforward service. The best part?

"I was moving from a home where I had lived for 30 years. I was feeling very anxious about the whole situation, but especially selecting the right movers. Too many horror stories from friends! The day I called Silver Star and Hana answered the phone I was just minutes away from feeling relief. This company made themselves available to me to answer my many questions and to basically hold my hand through the process. Their work crew wrapped and moved my things very gently and I am so pleased. I hope I never have to go through the process of moving again, but if I do I will choose Silver Star. Thank you Silver Star."
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.
Moving a washer and dryer may require a permit as it involves changing the plumbing in a home. Plumbing related permits cost between $50 to $500, but a pro can typically handle this process end to end. Always check with your plumber beforehand if a permit is needed and how that may impact project timelines.
You should always transport the washer and dryer in an upright position. If they are turned on their sides to move, it can cause damage to the internal parts, such as the suspension and drums. Don’t attempt to move a washer or dryer to a new location if it’s sitting on its side.
The base rental cost of a truck is cheaper, on average, and they tend to offer more room than a container. However, the total cost depends on the rental period, distance, move size, storage needs, and travel costs. The main benefit of choosing moving pods is that you don’t have to drive a large truck by yourself, and they can double as storage space. Shipping containers are more efficient for long-distance moves than trucks.
Moving across state lines is a similar process to moving within a state. Packing, loading, and unloading of trucks will follow the same process. The primary difference is during transportation, where your belongings may be loaded onto a dedicated moving truck or combined with other shipments, depending on the distance. Your moving company will offer tracking and ongoing communication of your boxes.
