"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’ve moved around quite a bit in the Bay Area and I can say that by far Alexander Moving is the best moving company and team that I’ve hired. They’re punctual, professional, and very communicative. Another reason they’re a great moving company is they’re great at wrapping fragile items, as well as TVs and furniture. I highly recommend Alexander Moving."

"Honest and Fast Movers recently moved us from San Carlos, CA, to Folsom, CA, and they did an outstanding job. The crew arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and took exceptional care of all of our furniture. They carefully wrapped and protected everything, and not a single item was damaged during the move. In Folsom, they placed every piece of furniture and every box exactly where we wanted it, making the unpacking process much easier. I was very impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent customer service. I highly recommend Honest and Fast Movers to anyone looking for a reliable moving company. If you're using Angi, be sure to check them out—they definitely deserve a five-star review!"

Moving FAQs, answered by experts

Knowing how much a typical long-distance move will cost is the first step in the budgeting process. Start by calling at least three local moving companies for quotes so you have a ballpark range—then you can start saving weekly. You can also start decluttering your home to reduce your truck weight and try to find donated packing supplies from local businesses or neighbors that recently moved. 

Building a house is generally more expensive upfront than moving an existing one. However, the total cost depends on factors such as location, size, materials, labor, and permits. Moving a house can incur significant expenses for transportation, permits, site preparation, and renovations. On the other hand, building a new house allows for customization and may have lower long-term maintenance costs.

If you’re moving other large items that require professional help, you should consider having movers assist you with those as well—especially if they can fit in the same moving truck together. Consider bundling the move with large items like a piano, safe, or large pieces of furniture.

The number of boxes you need to move depends on the size of their house and whether your style is minimalist or maximalist. However, on average, most people need around 60 boxes to move. It’s essential to pick the correct box sizes to ensure efficient packing.

While your movers focus on packing and transporting your belongings, you can focus on other parts of your move, such as preparing children and pets to move or cleaning rooms as they’re emptied. You’ll need to be onsite as your movers pack or unpack your stuff, and can help direct movers to where items should go if they need help. Additionally, if there are certain items you’d prefer to move yourself, such as valuables or sentimental items, focus on packing those things and taking them with you during your move.
