"I have nothing but praise for H2H movers and I would highly recommend using their services. I have done multiple moves with various moving companies over the years and H2H Movers was the best moving company I have worked with. The H2H office is very good with communication. Not only did they check in before the move, they made sure to communicate with me during and after the move to make sure everything was going smoothly. The movers were very professional and easy to work with. They quickly, efficiently, and carefully completed the move. It was a tough move considering we were moving to a 4th floor walk-up and I was worried about how difficult it would be, but all my concerns were easily alleviated."

"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."

"Very fast service. They were able to come out with almost no notice. The service received was spot on. We were promised a flat rate, and they stuck to that. They did an inventory and made sure nothign was damaged during the move. I'm happy with the service received."

"Best moving experience I have ever had! Tim and Big T Movers were wonderful to work with, right from the start. Responsive, efficient and punctual in helping us plan for our small business move. On moving day, they arrived on time, and were friendly and professional. Got the job done perfectly and made everything easy! Will use them again in future. I recommend them to anyone for any big or small moving projects!"

"We had an excellent experience with Richardo and Lou. They were professional, efficient, and courteous from start to finish. Their knowledge about moving and handling belongings with care was impressive. Truly skilled at their craft, they made our move seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend! P.S. For any future moves, we only want Ricardo and Lou, no one else."

"I've moved before for work and other reasons. Usually moving companies give you estimates that end up being twice as much by the end of the service. This company was very close to their initial estimate when work was done. They were very careful, respectful of our house, and on-time. It went very smoothly and delivered everything on-time. There were a couple of tight turns on the stair cases which I don't know how they did but I'm very happy with their service. I've referred them to a couple of my friends already."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Move date means the day that you are relocating your items from one space to another. If you’re renting, your move out date is usually the same as the last day of your lease, but it won’t necessarily be the same as your move-in date to another property.

Shipping a moving container costs around $3,000 on average, with a typical range of $2,000 to $5,000. For international moves, the price can be as high as $7,000. Costs fluctuate based on factors such as the container's size, weight, travel distance, demand, and fuel prices. To ensure you get the best deal, it is recommended to get quotes from at least three different companies.

You should give yourself ample time to pack clothes for a move. For best results, begin packing at least a few weeks before moving. The packing process may take shorter or longer depending on how many clothes you have and the size of your home. Start with clothing that’s out of season and work you way to the pieces you plan to pack in your moving-day suitcase.

There are different types of moving companies, and you’ll want to look for one that has experience moving houses. Ask them how many houses they’ve moved, how long they’ve been in business, whether they coordinate all of the labor, permits, and subcontractors needed, and what their liability is for any damages incurred.

You can lay a refrigerator down to move it with a lot of padding underneath, but it’s best to transport it upright to keep the cooling refrigerant and compressor oil in place. These elements can cause blockages if not given time to settle before turning the fridge on. 

If you need to lay the fridge down to move it, position the fridge door hinges so that doors won’t open while moving.
