"My girlfriend and I recently contacted All Service Moving to help us relocate our furniture from Seattle to Lake City, and the service from them was amazing! Brad and Donald were personable, professional, speedy, and thorough. I definitely recommended their service if you need lots of stuff moved quickly and hiccup-free. They wrapped everything up nicely (they were also very handy with their bubble-wrap, even using it as a doorstop when going in and out for easier access), deconstructed furniture with ease, and overall made the job look so easy!"

"Karl’s moving crew, led by Dave, were all very personable and extremely professional. All of our household items were delivered to our new residence in great condition. We especially appreciated the careful preparation for moving and handling of the fragile items."

"Had an AMAZING experience with Roadway Moving. I did their full-pack service and I would recommend this to everyone. Moving has always been super stressful for me because there’s just so much to do and prepare (buying boxes, packing, organizing transportation, etc)… this was my first time moving with a moving company and it’s a night and day difference vs. moving by myself! My sister, who has moved with several moving companies before, even said her experience with Roadway Moving was the best she’s had!"

"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."

"Superb service! I had a packed work schedule on moving day, but their movers were total pros. I barely had to lift a finger. They packed, loaded, and moved everything without disrupting my day. When I finished work, my move was all wrapped up. I’m very thrilled about my experience!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

Most professional movers can provide a wide range of moving-related services, and you’ll need to pick and choose which ones you want to use. Examples of common services offered include the following:

  • Organizing and packing your belongings

  • Protecting delicate items with bubble wrap or other protective equipment

  • Moving your belongings and furniture out of your old home

  • Moving your belongings into your new home within a certain distance

  • Unpacking your belongings in the new location

  • Moving heavy items, like pianos

  • Moving your vehicles

  • Storage if your new home isn’t ready

It’s best to schedule a moving pod two months before your moving date. This should give you enough time to secure the correct size and number of moving pods you need. It’s often possible to book moving pods on shorter notice, even within one week, but there’s a higher risk of local pods already being taken, especially if you’re moving during the summer or on a holiday or weekend.

To transport a bed frame, disassemble it as much as needed and then wrap it with moving blankets or bubble wrap to prevent damage. If you’re transporting the frame in your vehicle, check to ensure it’ll fit before you start. If not, you might need to rent a moving truck or hire professional movers to transport your bed frame to its new home.

Yes, it’s worth the cost to hire professional long-distance movers. Professional movers will ensure your household belongings reach your destination safely and efficiently—with many companies already having made similar moving trips recently. Also, professional movers have the proper equipment and experience to ensure your move goes smoothly. 

If you need to move your heavy couch to another part of your home , the safer option is to hire a professional moving team. More complex moving situations require professional services, which will make the move much easier and prevent serious injury.
