"Hey guys! Long time no see! Iâ m happy I found your company years ago, and my last move with you was about 5-6 years ago. Iâ m glad to be back! Everything was great and smooth as usual. I was especially happy to see Alex as the foremanâ he helped me with my first move as well. This time, I was moving out of a 2-bedroom place in Calabasas and am now excited to start my life in OC, Irvine. Everything went smoothly, and I want to thank you for the great service as always. Highly recommend!"

"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!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Five stars all the way! The team from Let’s Move It Right was fantastic from start to finish. Scheduling was easy, the pricing was transparent and fair, and the crew was on time and ready to work. They packed and moved everything quickly but carefully, and nothing was lost or broken. They even took extra steps to protect my walls and floors, which I really appreciated. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. If you need a trustworthy moving company, look no further."

Moving questions, answered by experts

No, homeowners insurance does not typically cover moving expenses. Homeowners insurance provides coverage and pay-outs if you experience damage to the home you currently live in. You’ll need to save separately for moving expenses like hiring movers, renting a tow truck, or shipping your belongings.

Focus on decluttering when downsizing to move cross-country. Selling, donating, or recycling unwanted items early in your moving process is key to your success. If you are on the fence about some items, consider storage options, or you can ship these items separately to lessen your load.

Yes, there are sometimes hidden costs when hiring a moving company. These can include fees for packing, handling, and assembling specific large items, fees for packing materials used, and charges for trips over a certain mileage. To avoid hidden fees, always request a detailed quote before booking or paying a deposit.

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.

Products that are hazardous, such as aerosol sprays, top the list of what to leave behind during a move. Avoid packing perishables, garden and garage chemicals, pool supplies, compressed gases, and combustible items. If you are trying to move by yourself, you may want to downsize so you have fewer belongings to pack and move (and then unpack).
