"The move was very smooth and efficient! The movers were cordial, on time and such a delight to work with. They were very quick in moving our stuff from one apartment to another but ensured that everything was left unscratched or damaged. Would highly recommend Stairhoppers for your next move!"

"I hired Flash Moving and am completely satisfied, they did a great job. The move was from MA to NY. It was a 3-day move: packing, loading, delivery/unpacking. The movers were easy to work with and did a professional job. I highly recommend this company."

"I called yesterday to inquire about moving interior furniture and they were able to get me into the schedule today. The 'movers' were efficient, careful and friendly. The customer service via text was informative regarding pricing & communication. Very pleased with the entire process and appreciate the help."

Moving questions, answered by experts

If you need to move heavy furniture inside your house, like a grandfather clock, consider hiring professional movers for this service, too. Many moving companies advertise in-house moving services, including transporting heavy items to different rooms or floors of the house. It’s best to hire professional movers for this task to avoid damaging parts of your home, like narrow stairways or flooring, or the item during the process.

There are generally three ways to ship furniture to another state: hiring professional movers, using consolidated freight, or through parcel shipping. Professional movers will generally pack your boxes in a truck and transport them to a storage facility or directly to your home. 

A consolidated freight service will pack, load, and ship your items, but this is best to use for one or two pieces since your items will take longer to be delivered and will share truck space with other items. Parcel shipping such as UPS and FedEx is best for smaller items since there are size limits, and you’ll have to drop the boxes off at a local branch.

Although it's one of the most beautiful places to reside, there are some cons to consider. The cost of living is higher, and it's one of the most expensive states to live in. 

If you have pets, you will have to put them through a quarantine program that can last up to four months. Plus, there is potential for natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

It’s typically not advisable to move heavy furniture by yourself. However, if you are confident that you can do it safely, there are several different tools you can use, including a hand truck, a four-wheel dolly, or an appliance dolly. If you’re moving furniture upstairs or downstairs, a hand truck is the most suitable choice. Regardless of what you choose to use, always ensure that the furniture is well-balanced and secure by using lifting straps or tie-down straps to keep it in place.

Moving day for a four-bedroom house can take seven to 10 hours, with an additional four to six full work days to pack everything up. This will depend on how many movers are present, the square footage of your house, how much stuff you have, and any heavy or difficult-to-move items, like a piano or armoire.
