"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!"

"I had a great time working with Trend. They were very clear and explained everything very well over the phone. It was great because I felt like they would give me a straight answer, unlike some other companies I spoke to. They were also incredibly friendly when I called back multiple times to ask questions! When it came to the actual moving process, the guys were awesome! They came in and took a look at everything we wanted moved. They were great about disassembling everything, shrink wrapping if necessary to protect our furniture, loading everything in the truck, unloading at the new house and putting everything back together again. The fact that they had mattress bags and tv boxes made our move even more convenient and made me feel like my belongings were protected and safe in their hands. We got done in about 5 hours what it probably would have taken us days to do on our own!"

"The movers arrived early and were courteous and professional.  They were very efficient in packing the truck and used many pads to avoid damage. We packed all the boxes ourselves and with many fragile items everything arrived in perfect condition. When they arrived they quickly unloaded the truck and helped put together the bed.  Our daughters' move -in date was a Sunday and they were willing to pick up and deliver on a Sunday.  We have moved many many times and this was a perfect move.

Moving FAQs, answered by experts

Using moving pods is generally cheaper than hiring a full-service moving company, primarily because you handle the packing and loading yourself, which eliminates labor costs. The cost savings are most significant for long-distance or cross-country moves; for local moves, hiring a moving company might be the more economical option. Renting and shipping moving pods can cost between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on factors like distance, the number of containers, and the weight of your items. Some services also charge a monthly rental fee of $75 to $200. In comparison, hiring a professional moving company for a long-distance move typically costs between $2,700 and $10,000.

The best equipment for moving large rocks from your yard depends on their size and weight. A heavy-duty wheelbarrow or a rock dolly can be effective for smaller boulders. A skid-steer loader or a mini-excavator with a grapple attachment provides the necessary power and control for larger, heavier rocks that you can’t lift manually. Professionals may use a larger excavator and ratchet hoist to remove larger boulders.

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

For a long trip, it is less expensive to schedule a one-way rental since you're driving fewer miles. Plus, it's usually not feasible to move across the country and then drive the vehicle back to where you got it. However, a round-trip option makes more sense if you're moving in town.

At the low end, a simple consumer treadmill may weigh around 200 pounds. At the high end, large treadmills made for gym use with lots of bells and whistles can weigh up to 500 pounds. Research your treadmill’s make and model to determine its exact weight before attempting to move it.
