"Moving APT moved me from my 2 bedroom apartment to where I'm at now in Orlando. When they arrived to start the move I had a few things that I hadn't boxed up."
"Best moving experience I have ever had. The moving crew was great to work with - very professional and courteous. If you are moving and need fast and careful help, it's the best choice."
"Jerome and Adam from J & Z Moving were great. They had my stuff loaded quickly and all of the furniture fit through the doors without being broken down."
"Jason and Adrien from Space Age Movers did a great job yesterday moving my larger furniture pieces to my new home ten miles away. The guys showed up on time and worked efficiently to load the truck. They took great care to pad and secure all the furniture pieces. There were about fifty furniture pieces for them to move. I pre-staged smaller items like kitchen chairs and end tables in the garage to make the move faster. It took them about four hours, with two hours to load, about 20 minutes to go to the new home and the remaining time to unload. We did get a slight ding on a bookcase being moved and i was given the option of having them take it for a repair at their expense or they would take $30 off my bill. I elected for the discount. I tried to limit the time these guys were on the job, so we didn't have them do any packing, assembly or disassembly, and i didn't worry terribly much about where they put the furniture within each room as it was unloaded - i just wanted to get the furniture under our new roof and get these guys back on the road. Cost was about $78/hour with no travel charge. I was moving from south Meridian to Kuna, so that could explain lack of travel charge. I would use these guys again. Thanks, Jason and Adrien!! "
"World Class Moving & Storage made everything super simple and easy - I barely lifted a finger for packing. They were fast and also came on very short notice which was very nice of them."
"This was my first time using a moving service but it went better than expected. Quick and easy process. Great communication from Anthony and customer service. The movers wrapped and tagged my stuff. I used to move so I was looking out for the same quality I learned. They did well. My items should be here within a week but so far so good."
"Very good move - I will use your company if I ever move again, Go team Go! They did a very good job for me. Their prices were awesome. They did not gouge me like all of the others would have. I have recommended them to others. Great experience!"
Some companies offer supplies like dollies and furniture pads for an additional fee. Confirm availability when renting.
You can save money when moving by packing and moving items yourself. You can also find ways to cut costs by shopping for packing supplies at discounted stores and getting free moving boxes instead of purchasing them. It also pays off to declutter your belongings prior to starting the moving process. Remember, the fewer items you have, the fewer packing supplies you have to buy, and you can rent a smaller moving truck or container, too.
Moving a kitchen cabinet can be extremely tricky for DIYers, especially if it's attached to plumbing, electrical outlets, or walls. The project requires meticulous planning, the right tools, and some muscle, not to mention a friend or two to help. While experienced do-it-yourselfers can manage it, hiring a pro is often safer to avoid damaging cabinets, countertops, or surrounding fixtures.
Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.
Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You’ll still need to lift the dolly—with the couch on it—up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.
If you don’t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.
To move a couch through a narrow doorway, first measure the couch and the doorway to ensure it will fit. For a close fit, you can create more space by removing the interior door; tap out the hinge pins with a nail and shift the door sideways to remove it from its hinges. You may need to turn the couch on its side or move it in separate pieces, if possible. Using furniture sliders can also help you slide the couch through the doorway.
