"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."

"I can't speak highly enough of Golan's. I've used them 2 or 3 times previously for house to house moves. This time, they emptied my storage locker and brought the items to my condo. They actually arrived early at the storage facility! Who does that?? The three-man crew quickly and efficiently emptied the space and then as quickly and efficiently delivered the items to my home. They finished early. All three crew members were professional, quick, and polite. I'll use them again for any moving needs. I recommend them highly."

"The service that I have got from Good STI Moving & Storage Inc. is way above the average. The moving team was respectful, systematic, and very careful with my things. Everything was fair, and I had a great time. They made me very happy and I would advise them to everybody who needs a moving service."

"Honey Bees Moving was AWESOME! Tim and his team moved our equipment perfectly. It was a tough move with lots of stairs at both ends, and a new location that isn't on GPS completely. They took care of our equipment and both locations like they were their own. I would definitely recommend Honey Bees for any move you're making!"

"Moving is exhausting. But with ASM and its great team, it becomes easy. The estimate they gave me came very accurate (and knowing how much I should expect to pay is very important during the challenging time of relocating). Most importantly, the crew was amazing. Quick move out and move in. They were careful in carrying the furniture. All in all, I cannot recommend ASM enough."

"We would highly recommend Mighty Moving. We used them for moving and storage. We could not be more pleased with the service received and experience we had. Mike & Robbie were wonderful walking us through the process from the beginning to the end. Our movers were excellent and professional. We would use them again in a heartbeat!"

"Move was great. On time. On budget. No broken or lost items. Accommodated moving my TVs early so that I could have them mounted at the new home. Guys were great. Punctual and professional. I will not use another company for any future local moves. They were that good."

Moving questions, answered by experts

If the dishwasher is in working condition, start and run a complete cycle with nothing inside. Let it drain and sit overnight before removing the hoses. In theory, it should effectively drain. You may find residual water in the hoses, but you can plug them. If the dishwasher breaks down midcycle it can sometimes be full of water. You’ll need to manually remove the water with a plastic cup before removing the dishwasher.

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

Unfortunately, moving scammers exist, so it’s important to thoroughly vet your moving company before scheduling a service date. Your moving company is likely legitimate if the offer fits within the average cost range, they provide proper contracts and moving insurance, don’t require a large deposit, and have several positive and recent online reviews from previous customers. Feel free to request previous customer information from the moving service and contact them to inquire about their experience to ease any lingering concerns.

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.

No, it is vital to transport a motorcycle upright because of its battery. These batteries are typically not sealed to avoid overpressurization, so the motorcycle could leak battery acid if it lays on its side. Plus, laying it on its side for a long period of time may cause hydrolock, which is when oil leaks into the combustion chamber, making your spark plug unable to ignite the gas due to lack of air.
