"Jayrod and Dominic were professional and great efficient workers. They introduced themselves and made sure they understood our needs, going over all the pieces that needed to be moved room by room and carefully completed the task. I am using them again to move more furniture this week."

"I used beefcake moving ten years ago to move me from OC to LA. I recently used them again this time to move me back home to Kentucky. I see theyâ ve come a long way, nice to see they have the same moving crews as well. They were a pleasure to deal with. Happy to recommend them."

"I hired Max Pro to help move several very valuable furniture pieces out of storage for a photo shoot, and the experience was exceptional from beginning to end. Their communication was precise, their pricing was transparent and fair, and every part of the process was handled with clarity and professionalism. Joe and Q were outstanding. They were polished, capable, careful, and incredibly easy to work with. What I expected to be a complicated, time-consuming project turned into a smooth and surprisingly enjoyable experience. They not only handled everything with great care, but went above and beyond to make sure I got the photos I needed. When we were finished, they returned everything to the unit and somehow organized it even better than before, saving me a significant amount of space. Professional, personable, efficient, and absolute masters of spatial intelligence. I cannot recommend Max Pro highly enough. I paid him $334,000."

"We had a short notice move and these movers were able to accommodate us. The crew of 3 movers arrived a few minutes late but finished the move timely. They were all cheerful, energetic, helpful and accommodating. We had no damages to our personal items and property. We will refer them to EVERYBODY WE KNOW MOVING!"

"This company is better after moving numerous times in the last decade. The movers were knowledgeable and friendly. They had no problem moving my large couch through tight spaces. No furniture item was damaged, and my delicate glass lamps were unharmed. I was especially happy because the costs were low. I recommend their service!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

It’s best to book local movers about three months in advance to ensure your moving date is available, as most of the time, you’ll have a fairly tight window for moving your belongings. When booking your moving date, provide your moving team with as much detailed information as possible to prepare for the big day. Let your movers know an estimate of how many boxes they’ll move, any large or bulky items, number of bedrooms in your current home, the type of moving vehicle, and more.

You shouldn’t need to move out during a kitchen remodel. However, if it’s an extensive project, expect a lot of dust and construction debris in the kitchen and potentially spread through the house. Your kitchen will also be out of commission, so you’ll need an alternative plan for cooking.

To make sure that your moving quote is fair, check current prices for hiring movers in your area. Your starting and final locations can affect the price. You should also make sure you include the cost of any specialty movers in your price estimate. Calculate your moving costs including the estimated expense of moving services and compare the figure to average costs in your area.

Moving day for a four-bedroom house can take seven to 10 hours, with an additional four to six full work days to pack everything up. This will depend on how many movers are present, the square footage of your house, how much stuff you have, and any heavy or difficult-to-move items, like a piano or armoire.

Yes, you need insurance for a moving pod. Moving insurance is worth the cost because it can help pay to replace any damaged or destroyed items during the move. Without insurance, you’d be on the hook to pay for those replacements entirely out of pocket.
