"We had Sam, Bradley, and Mason assist us with a move from one part of King County to the other. They were kind, patient, professional, adhered to CDC COVID-19 guidelines, and made our experience much more pleasant. Moreover, Emma also helped us locate crating and packing materials for the move."

Highly recommend them if you want movers who truly get the job done right!"

"Marlon, Vlad, Bryan, Elijah and Kearis worked their butts off! Our move took place in the rain, and these poor guys were drenched and tired, but they never gave up. They pushed themselves beyond their energy levels and were wonderful to deal with. They had great manners, excellent attitudes, and solid work ethics. I would hire Moving Ahead Services again. They were--hands down--the best moving company that I have ever hired. Thanks again, Gentlemen. You have a solid leader in Marlon. Do whatever he tells you, and you will be successful."
"Don's sent out 4 guys. It went very well. I knew the treadmill and elliptical would be difficult. My machines had to be taken apart to fit through a doorway. It was difficult to even find a company that had guys that worked with exercise equipment. But, my equipment is in place and it all works- so I'm happy. Also, I didn't have to wait weeks for a move date. I moved a few days from my first call to Don's."
Moving bulky home gym equipment without disassembling it is possible, but it can be more time-consuming, troublesome, and costly. Transporting a treadmill or rowing machine in one piece might require more labor to lift it and maneuver it out of your home, and it will take up more space in a moving truck.
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.
Apartments come with strict regulations about what pets are allowed, so check before you sign a lease. If you have a fish or reptile, wait to move them until everything is set up and you’re ready to do a special move just for them and their aquarium/terrarium.
For a dog or cat, be sure you have a carrier before the move. On moving day, it’s best to designate a “safe room” or even a crate for your pet to help them get used to the new space. Keep everything they need in the safe room, and let them explore the rest of the apartment in their own time.
The first step in moving a house is to provide blueprints and assess which parts of the house you can move. The next steps are obtaining permits, inspecting the structure, securing road permits, and getting bank approval.
When it's time to move, professionals can prepare the house by disconnecting utilities, removing items, and adding support braces. The house is then lifted with steel beams, jacked up, and placed on dollies for transport. Once it’s at the new location, it gets lowered onto the new foundation, utilities get reconnected, and additional features, like porches or garages, are added.
You shouldn’t need to move out during a kitchen remodel. However, if it’s an extensive project, expect a lot of dust and construction debris in the kitchen and potentially spread through the house. Your kitchen will also be out of commission, so you’ll need an alternative plan for cooking.
