Every fragile item was perfectly packed, furniture was perfectly padded and shrink wrapped, boxes were clearly labeled by room, and nothing arrived broken or scratched. Worth every penny.

Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.

"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

United Prime Van Lines Corp, is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Honestly, my move from Orlando to Miami went way better than I expected. It was a 2 bedroom move, and the crew showed up ready to work from the second they walked in. They wrapped everything carefully, stayed super organized, and didn’t waste any time, which I really appreciated. What I liked most is that they actually listened. When we got to my new place, they helped move my furniture around until it felt right, without acting annoyed or rushed. The whole move cost 2,160 dollars, and honestly, for the amount of effort they put in, it felt completely fair. By the end of the day, I was tired but relieved because everything arrived safe, nothing broken, and the whole experience was just smooth. I’d definitely use them again."

"I run a daycare and we were transitioning to a bigger facility. The movers did more than packing and unloading furniture, they also loaded and unloaded trucks. they also assisted in installing playground equipment in the new place. I couldn’t believe how much they cared about making sure that everything was definitely safe and ready for the kids."

"STOP AND READ THIS REVIEW: We needed a mover to move a family member out of a large, 3-bedroom Los Angeles apartment and transport everything to San Francisco. I reached-out to 13- different moving companies and created a spreadsheet to compare what each company had to offer. After a thoughtful process, I arrived at 3- finalists that I conducted a telephone interview with. At the end of the process, it was clear to me that Max Protection Moving was our best option. Tvat decision was by no means solely based on price; that decision was based on a broad variety of reasons including the candor and straight-forward language of the representatives I spoke with. Joseph, from Max Protection assured me he would be on site for the loading and supervise the team. He also assured me that “ the deal we agreed to WAS THE DEAL”! No surprises or add-ons. On the day of the move, Joseph and the team arrived at the sgeed up on time and the team immediately started working. They redefine in how they approach the process and impressed me with how carefully and meticulously they cared for each item. I was frankly astounded at the absence of surprises! Everything went exactly as I had hoped! The team drove the truck to SF and we met at the new residence as scheduled. The move-in went as smoothly and seamlessly as the move-out! Honestly, I was astounded at the efficiency of the team and the care they gave all the possessions, even when carrying large pieces up a challenging staircase. IF you are looking for an HONEST, RELIABLE-TRUSTWORTHY Moving Company, look no further than Max Protection."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Due to their custom-built nature, curved stair chair lifts are not easily transferable to a new home. Each rail is specifically designed to fit the unique curves of the original staircase, making it unlikely to work on a different set of stairs. If you move, you may need to sell or remove the lift and install a new one at your new location.

Just as moving a couch by yourself isn’t always a good idea, moving a heavy bed frame by yourself is not advisable. Doing so puts you at risk of injury, and you can damage the frame if you drop it or bang it while moving it. The best way to move a heavy bed frame is to enlist the help of friends or family or hire professional movers with the experience and equipment to move it safely and efficiently.

The best way to transport a TV is to wrap and pack it tightly in a TV moving box. That way, the item stays protected from damage during the move. However, there are several alternative methods, like using moving straps and moving blankets to transport it successfully.

To prepare furniture for moving, detach furniture legs if possible. If the legs must stay on, wrap them with foam wrap or taped blankets to help prevent damage. You can also buy dedicated moving “socks” for furniture legs.

If you’re using a moving company, the best move in date typically occurs on a weekday in the middle of the month between September and April. Mid-month moves on weekdays are less popular and therefore less costly, and the weather will usually be less severe in the fall or spring. However, if staying on budget is your priority, a mid-month move on a weekday in the winter is your best bet at finding the best deal.
