"Mini Moves came 3 times to move furniture while our floors were being sanded. They were always on time, careful with our furniture (and newly refinished floors), very helpful and really pleasant to work with. The office was also easy to work with and responsive to any questions. I will definitely use them any time I need furniture moved, and highly recommend them."

"I have moved a few times and the movers are always the most stressful and awful part of the move. Not with flash moving though! I am beyond impressed with their professionalism, punctuality, and quick moving ability. From the beginning quote process all the way to the end of the move, Flash moving company exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone moving and if we ever have to move again, we will most certainly use them. A huge thank you to these movers for making our move as smooth and stress less as possible!"

"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!"

"We heard of all service moving from a family members’ recommendation. Move went very smoothly! Nathaniel, SeaBass and Dominic really took care of our furniture, everything was neatly wrapped up so nothing would get damaged. Would hire again!"

"Everything went great. We used Brookline Moving Co. last year for our daughter's first move to the city.  We were so happy with how smoothly everything went, we used them again this year, and will use them the next time she will need to move.  The two young men that did our move were very nice, personable, and worked really hard to make sure we were happy."

"The movers had finished a job and called requesting to come early.  I agreed. They quickly and carefully moved my belongings  from one location to another.   My new location is a small house with small 5 step landing into the front door - i was very surprised they managed the large furniture easily into the house.   They did a great job to work efficiently and quickly getting me moved .

Moving questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to rent a moving truck is $1,000, with a typical range running between $20 and $3,500, depending on the truck size and how far you are moving.

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.

Gym equipment can be heavy, so it’s best to transport it using a furniture dolly. When dealing with treadmills, weight machines, or other bulky items, hiring professional movers or roping in some friends and renting a moving van makes sense.

To prepare for moving a piano, start by documenting its current condition with photos in case of any damage during the move. Secure the piano's lid and wrap the instrument, including its keys and pedals, with bubble wrap and moving blankets for protection. Note that if you have hired professional piano movers, they may handle this step for you.

Next, prepare the space. Measure any tight spaces or doorways to ensure the piano will fit through. Clear a wide path from the piano's location to the exterior door, removing any furniture or obstacles. It is also helpful to prop open doors to make the exit easier.

On moving day, ensure the moving truck can park as close to the exit as possible. For safety, keep children and pets away from the moving area to prevent accidents or distractions.
