"Couldn?t be happier with beefcake. They showed up on time, brought plenty of supplies, and treated our stuff like it was their own. 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. Highly recommend!"

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."

"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

The most cost-effective way to move is to DIY most of the moving tasks, including packing, driving the moving truck, and loading and unloading. While DIY moving is typically the least expensive option, it makes the process much more time-consuming and difficult. To eliminate some of the physical and time stress associated with DIY moves, consider hiring professional movers for the most essential tasks, such as loading and unloading furniture, and completing easier tasks on your own.

It's less expensive to drive your car than to ship it a short distance. The cost of shipping an automobile increases per mile for short trips, making it a less attractive option for your wallet. However, long-distance car shipping, especially on an open trailer or train, is typically less expensive than hotels, food, fuel, and other costs during a DIY move.

It’s best to pack things that are in storage and non-essential items first. Start by packing up items you are taking from your storage unit, garage or shed, basement, and attic. You should wait to pack essential items such as toiletries and medications last.

Pool tables are exceptionally heavy, some weighing as much as 2,500 pounds. As a result, they require multiple movers to move, and because of their size, it's difficult to get them upstairs or around tight corners. You can save money on pool table moving by using your own packing supplies and disassembling them before movers arrive.

The best ways to prepare for movers include decluttering and properly labeling boxes. Decluttering lessens the workload and ensures you are not bringing unwanted items into your new home. Labeling boxes lets movers know which rooms they belong in, reducing confusion when it's time to unpack.
