"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."
"Affordable Piano Movers & Storage moved an upright piano for me into a new home and up difficult stairs with a hair-pin turn. 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!"

"Moving long-distance is always nerve-wracking, but Let's Move It Right made the entire process seamless. From start to finish, their team was professional, well-organized, and incredibly helpful. 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? They delivered everything exactly on the promised date, which is rare for long-distance moves. Nothing was lost or damaged, and the movers were super friendly the entire time. If you’re looking for a trustworthy moving company, look no further."
"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."
It is generally worth moving a shed if the structure is in good condition, you have space for it at the new location, and the cost to move it is less than the cost of buying or building a new one. You should weigh the pros and cons, particularly for long-distance moves where transportation can be expensive. If your shed is in disrepair or the relocation cost is too high, it likely isn't worth moving, and installing a new shed at your new property may be a better choice.
If you’re moving locally, pack up your condiments in a cooler and move them in your car or moving truck so you can put them in the fridge as soon as you arrive at your new place. For long-distance moves, use up or empty out all opened condiments or give them to your neighbors. Pack unopened condiments in a box or give them away if you don’t want to move them.
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.
The ideal budget for moving out of state largely depends on your location, the number of rooms you need to move, and how far your final destination is. On average, homeowners spend a little over $1,700 on their move.
You can lay a refrigerator down to move it with a lot of padding underneath, but it’s best to transport it upright to keep the cooling refrigerant and compressor oil in place. These elements can cause blockages if not given time to settle before turning the fridge on.
If you need to lay the fridge down to move it, position the fridge door hinges so that doors won’t open while moving.
