"All Service Moving was exceptional. Great customer service - easy to schedule and flexible. Royce & Frost did an AMAZING job moving all of our very heavy and fragile belongings. They handled all of our requests and items with care and worked both efficiently and quickly. They were super friendly and very customer service oriented. I can't thank them enough for the GREAT job they did. I highly recommend All Service Moving for anything moving and/or storage related. And DEFINITELY request Royce & Frost to handle your job. Thank You!"
"Wildcat Moving was great for our recent move! Joe and Ethan A both did an excellent job of moving all of our furniture into the new place. Nothing was broken during the move and none of our walls got dinged. I would highly recommend Wildcat Moving to anyone considering hiring movers."
"There are movers and then there are amazing movers Damen, Terrance, TJ and Qway were our dream team. From the start Kentuckiana made this move seamlessly easy. Every article was wrapped and handled with care. Everyone was very attentive from beginning to end. 13 hours in the blazing heat moving us out of a 2 story and into a split level. All those stairs! We had extremely heavy furniture and collections (books, rocks, and marbles!). Fast and efficient move considering that it's pretty much 2 entire households. Kudos!"
"My out of state move from NY to FL was made easy thanks to Joe Kim and Lori. Both were very knowledgeable, helpful and always available. I was well informed every step of the way. No hidden fees, no damage and move was completed in a timely manner. I would hire them again and highly recommend to anyone."

"I sort of hate giving this review because I’m afraid he won’t have time for us after everyone hears how awesome this guys workmanship & communication is. We hired G’s Home Services to do a complete update/rebuild a 1/2 bath. G installed all new drywall, trim, flooring, sink & toilet and the results are amazing. He also moved the electrical where I needed it. He was mindful of our budget & seemed to value our input on the job. I definitely recommend!"
A house may need to be moved due to land redevelopment, to avoid demolition, to preserve a historic structure, to adapt to zoning changes, or to relocate to a safer or more desirable location because of climate change.
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.
Moving pods are most often available in three sizes: 8, 12, and 16 feet. To move a four-bedroom house, you’ll likely need two 16-foot moving pods. Of course, the exact answer depends more on your house’s square footage and the amount of belongings you have than on the number of bedrooms in the house. For example, moving a small four-bedroom house may only require one 16-foot pod and one 8-foot pod, but moving a large four-bedroom house may require more than two 16-foot pods.
It is best to book a moving company two to three months before your move-out date. This provides enough time to compare rates, organize your belongings, and find an available crew for your desired day and time. While you might find movers with only one or two weeks' notice, some companies require booking up to 90 days in advance.
Planning ahead is especially important if you're moving during the busy summer season when demand is highest. Summer weekends, in particular, book up quickly. Securing your movers well in advance helps you avoid the stress and potential extra fees of last-minute arrangements.
Movers calculate a moving estimate through various methods, including flat fees, estimated weight, amount of space taken up in the moving truck, or a combination. Read the estimate carefully, including parts of the contract that cover mover liability, how and when movers arrive, and other information. The best estimates include an itemized list with fees for fuel, especially large items, packing and unpacking, storage services, and more.
