"A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I'm 62 years old and have moved several times in my life, and it's never been a good experience --until now! Andres and his team are great. He actually repaired some of my furniture that had previously broken --and didn't charge me any extra for it. Stop reading this review right now and book your next move with AM & PM Moving. It will be one of the best moves you'll ever make."

"There was an additional cost to the Big Deal that I bought. The price seems reasonable for the service. I know it was tuned properly. He was a very interesting man. He literally explained to me all of the working of the piano insides. He was very knowledgeable. He did the work that was requested in a timely manner."

"The move went well. I had underestimated how much stuff I had, but the movers just got right to work and hustled all day.  I was impressed by their stamina. The three man team worked well together. They were efficient and upbeat. The piano, armoire and dining room table were extremely heavy, but all were moved successfully. I highly recommend these guys and would use them again.

"We made the right choice! The move was local (within a few blocks) but the extra help was desperately needed. Marcos and his crew showed up early, sprang right to work, moved like mad men, and got everything to the new house in a lot less time than was quoted. I'd happily recommend and most definitely use Moovers services (especially Marcos and his crew) again!!! Thanks, guys!"

"Everything went perfect. Fee was right in line with advanced quote received. Movers were professional, courteous and on time. They were efficient in their time (one of the reasons the quote was right on the money). Nothing was broken or damaged in the move. All the necessary pads were provided, they offered us the use of wardrobe boxes, but we didn't require them. I could not have been more pleased and would highly recommend to anyone."

"The move was great. Santos and Danny were professional, courteous and you could tell they truly care about the quality of your move - not a SINGLE thing was broken. Eric, the owner, was fair in pricing and was quick to respond to my inquiries. They called the day before to confirm the move time, called the day of the move to inform us they were en route and called when they arrived. The communication was wonderful, especially as we were planning out the move day. If you are looking for a reliable crew that is professional, mindful of your stuff and priced fair, this is the company to go with!"

"The salesman promised to always be available throughout the entire process. I called him once I had chosen Hollander (the other mover I considered was booked the week I needed to move) but did not reach him and did not get a call back from him. I finally called the office and ended up working with them from there on out, so the promise was rather empty. The plan for the move was for a three day pack/move/delivery due to the second stop that was needed. Just days before the move, I was asked to allow movers to pack both locations at the same time to cut down the overall time. I informed the office that I did not have a second person to watch the second location and Hollander suggested that I simply leave movers in my home to work without supervision while I went to the other location, sixty miles away, which I refused to do. It was then made into a two day move with packing and loading the larger home in one day, then packing, loading the second location and delivering on day two. I think the rush to cram things in resulted in the damage that my homes suffered as well as the issue of them not wanting to drive in Chicago traffic to get home after the delivery. Packing - I found napkins rings dropped on the floor and overlooked. The packers left tape roll hanging on the 100 year old latch of one of the stained glass windows. I have found sets of items scattered across several boxes in ways that made no sense. For example, two glasses of a six-set where in one box and others were found in boxes from other areas of the house unrelated to the kitchen. A top of the blender was in one box and the base was in another. A box spring was dragged on the floor resulting in two long and deep scratches in the second floor hallway - right where buyers looking at the home would be able to see it. In the end, they offered a payment of $350 as they reported it could not be repaired without refinishing the entire second floor hall and two adjoining rooms - so I would have to pay for the rest of the refinishing and they would contribute only for the scratch - but the refinishing would not have been needed if not for the scratches they did. No floor protection was put down at all in the first location – the driver said later that he had changed trucks and could not find any. At the second pick up, once they were done using a side door, they left it propped out allowing the summer heat to come continue to come in. They had propped another door with a door stop jammed up at the top – both of these doors were left open after they drove off and I was left to get the wedging out. At the new home (delivery) where there were pristine wood floors, they did put down floor protection on all walk ways. Unfortunately, that did not stop the movers from again dragging large items on the floors in the bed rooms which resulted in scratches to the floors in several rooms. In addition, a wall was scratched as well. They did send the repair company to address the floors at the new location and that repair was satisfactory. They did not yet send someone yet to deal with the damage to the dry wall where the paint was scratched. I was never asked to sign anything verifying any prior damage to items but was asked after the delivery to sign blank screens on a tablet and later once I got the actual print out, I saw a list of my items and their assessment of condition. The driver did take responsibility right away for the floor damage in both locations but that did not really help with the fact that it did not need to have happened at all. They each needed to simply wait/ask for help to lift and place things rather than drag on the floor."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

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.

Qualified piano movers will take several steps to protect your piano from damage during the move. First, they'll wrap the piano to protect its finish. Ideally, they'll wrap the piano in a specialized blanket that features a soft, padded interior and a tougher exterior. 

After wrapping your piano, the movers will securely strap it to a dolly for safe transport to and from the moving truck. Once the piano is in the truck, movers might put the piano on a piece of plywood to help level it during the move, depending on the truck bed. They will then strap it in place so it doesn't shift around during the drive to your final destination.

While it's not expected, tipping junk haulers is a kind gesture when the team goes above and beyond for piano disposal. Lugging and breaking down a piano requires specialized equipment, maneuvering, and a lot of strength. When your junk haulers take particularly good care of your home during the process, consider tipping between 10% and 20% of the total bill to split among the team or $10 to $20 per hauler.

Moving a washer and dryer can be difficult due to the appliances’ weight and size. If you need to move these appliances up or down stairs, then it will be more challenging. It also depends on the type of dryer you have, as a gas dryer is more complicated to disconnect than an electric dryer. The difficulty of the task also depends on whether you’re easily wheeling the washer and dryer up a moving truck’s loading ramp or lifting them yourself.

Moving companies offer a variety of service packages to suit different needs and budgets during the moving process. They typically provide loading, unloading, and transportation services, using specialized equipment to handle heavy and bulky items. Services can also include packing assistance, where professional packers securely pack belongings to ensure their safety during transportation. Some moving companies also offer temporary storage options, as well as unpacking services upon arrival.
