"The move was a smooth and pleasant experience for us. We were really stressful before the move. However, Toni and his friends were professional and really did a great job in helping us move from Harrison, NJ. Highly recommend others to try Ziptozip moving for your move."

"I recently moved from Florida to Connecticut and hired Love’s Moving and Storage for the move. The representative I worked with was extremely helpful and took the time to explain the difference between using a direct moving company versus a broker. He walked me through the entire process and answered my questions so I knew what to expect. The movers arrived on time, handled the move professionally, and everything went smoothly. When I compared the cost, using their service actually ended up being less expensive than renting and driving a moving truck myself. Overall, I had a great experience with Love’s Moving and Storage and would recommend them to anyone planning a long-distance move!"

Moving FAQs, answered by experts

Around half of Americans hire professional movers, while the other half DIY their moves.

Moving a house is a complex and labor-intensive process, which is why it can get so pricey, particularly if it’s a large home. In some cases, the house may need to be dismantled, moved in sections, and then reassembled at the new location, which can add significantly to the cost of the move. However, it’s typically less costly than building a new home.

The cost of a long-distance move depends on several factors, including whether you hire movers, use a moving truck, and the size of your move. For a 1,000-mile move, you’ll need to hire interstate movers and ask them for an estimate based on the details of your move. Keep in mind that a 1,000-mile move will likely cost $10,000 or more.

Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.

It’s not possible for a single person to move a hot tub. However, it’s possible for a small team of people to move a hot tub with the right skills and equipment. When hiring a moving team for this job, be sure to specify the size and weight of the item to ensure that they send several professionals to take care of the task.
