"This company moved my belongings from McKinney Texas to Chicago Illinois a couple of months ago. The guys packed our one bedroom apartment very professionally and quickly. I would recommend this company to my friends."

"Ian a recent widow who had decided I wanted to make a den on the first floor instead of sleeping in an upstairs bedroom . I t entailed moving a bed from the basement up a narrow staircase, moving a pull out sofa up a flight of stairs to loft and moving two very heavy bureaus and two side bed side tables down athe flight fwn stairs . It was a lot more than I asked them to do originally, they did it carefully & cheerfully ! They asked me if there anything else & amazingly charged me the original price quoted for doing much left , they were terrific!"

"This Company move us before at Our House but this time was My Mom who needs the services so I call them again at the last second and Erica was so polite and understand the situation perfect so 4 Movers arrive at my Mom's at 8:00 AM and not stop until everything was done at her new House, I believe that we use Five Stars Movers 3 or 4 times and everytime they surprise me with a different crew which always hard working Man. I do 100% recommend them. Five Stars for sure."

"I moved to a new apartment with a large wardrobe and heavy furniture. The movers handled everything carefully, wrapping the smaller items in blankets and moving the larger items on dollies. They also took the time to ensure that my electronics and delicate lamps were packed securely. They were truly exceptional in moving things."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is cheaper to move yourself than to hire professional movers. The average DIY move costs $120 to $2,300, while professionals cost $890 to $2,570 on average or up to $12,000 for the longest distances. While you’ll save on the cost of professional labor with a DIY move, you’ll spend more time and energy packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and unpacking.

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 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.

Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.

There are some household items movers won’t pack, while there are others that are important to keep on your person during the move. Don’t pack the following items:

  • Poisonous, hazardous, flammable, or explosive items, including some cleaners, matches, alcohol, and paint

  • Perishable food items

  • Pets and plants

  • Irreplaceable items and documents, such as your passport, will, and medical records
