Q: How do you hire a reliable moving company?

• <div><p>Choosing a reliable moving company is critical because you&rsquo;re entrusting all of your belongings to the professional movers, so you&rsquo;ll want to make sure you consider the following:</p><ul><li><p>The experience of the movers and the number of years in the industry</p></li><li><p>The add-on services provided, like packing and storage</p></li><li><p>The warranty or insurance coverage to protect your belongings </p></li></ul><p>We also recommend confirming that the movers are properly licensed using Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a>. You can check for certification from organizations like the American Moving and Storage Association.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to pack everything in my home and move it separately?

• <div><p>Surprisingly, no! For most house moves, you can keep everything inside as is, although we&rsquo;d recommend taking out any sentimental or extremely fragile items. You&rsquo;ll need to fully empty your basement or crawl space, but otherwise, your home can be moved with everything intact. Your movers will also be able to provide you with further guidance. </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 rent moving straps?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s rare to rent moving straps alone. Typically, you buy them outright. However, if you rent moving equipment, like loading tools or a furniture dolly, from a local or big-box business, they may come with moving straps for you to use.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to move a pool table?

• <div><p>On average, it takes 4 to 6 hours to move a pool table, depending on factors like its size and weight and the distance it needs to travel. For larger pool tables or those with a ball return system, the time can take closer to 6 to 8 hours due to the complex disassembly and reassembly. </p></div>

Dubuque Iowa Clean did an excellent job cleaning our house before we moved in. They showed up on time and were very thorough. I'd recommend them.

Steamatic was professional, prompt and did an excellent job. They gave a discount and even helped move a few other items for us, which they did not need to do. Getting her carpets cleaned was one thing that was not stressful at all about moving. Thank you!

Great, they move everything to paint and move it back when done. It took about a week from start to finish. They had also removed all hardware, nails, and patched all holes at my request.

Markese and his helper loaded and moved a truck and trailer for us and then drove 90 miles to Madison, WI. There they unloaded furniture, boxes, and household items to two different locations. They were hardworking and courteous--even in the rain! <br />

Moving questions, answered by experts

Choosing a reliable moving company is critical because you’re entrusting all of your belongings to the professional movers, so you’ll want to make sure you consider the following:

The experience of the movers and the number of years in the industry
The add-on services provided, like packing and storage
The warranty or insurance coverage to protect your belongings

We also recommend confirming that the movers are properly licensed using Angi’s state licensing tool. You can check for certification from organizations like the American Moving and Storage Association.

Surprisingly, no! For most house moves, you can keep everything inside as is, although we’d recommend taking out any sentimental or extremely fragile items. You’ll need to fully empty your basement or crawl space, but otherwise, your home can be moved with everything intact. Your movers will also be able to provide you with further guidance.
