Get matched with top movers in Camanche, IA

Q: Is it less expensive to ship a car or drive?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Why is it so expensive to move a pool table?

• <div><p>Pool tables are exceptionally heavy, some weighing as much as <b>2,500 pounds</b>. 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. </p></div>

Q: Should you tip movers?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can you move a stair lift to another house?

• <div><p>Yes, it is generally possible to move a stair lift to another home, but the feasibility depends on the type of lift. Straight stair lifts are much simpler to move and can usually be reinstalled on other straight staircases with professional help. Curved stair lifts, however, are custom-built for a specific stairway. Because each rail is designed to fit the unique curves of the original staircase, it is unlikely to work in a new home. Moving a curved lift can be costly and challenging, and you may need to sell or remove the old unit and install a new one at your new location.</p></div>

Q: How long does an out-of-state move typically take?

• <div><p>Depending on distance and individual scheduling needs, from a few days to a week.</p></div>

Tv was broken during the move, promised to replace but never came through. Said the person we dealt with didn’t work for the company but was listed as the principal owner of the company. Don’t use if something happens they won’t fix it.

Shon replaced the lighting in our new home when we moved in. It really changed the entire feel of the place and looks so much better. He was very helpful through the moving process as well, with many other services to offer that i would not have been able to do myself.
