"This was the most coordinated and professional move I’ve ever experienced. Working with Jose Was great, he made sure that I was informed about every step of the move and stuck to the initial estimate. Items were securely, packed, and movers were cautious with any larger fragile items. Would not hesitate to use their services again in the future."

"Excellent. Very professional. Competitive quote. Great customer service. On time and on budget. Quality work - nothing was broken. Our moving job was a big one - large house and outbuildings moving to 2 different locations. They handled everything like pros. Free moving boxes was a great plus."

"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."

"We had a baby grand piano moved by Milos and his crew. Wow is an understatement of the care and attention they showed when they moved the piano! Being military, we have moved quite frequently and have seen many movers. This was by far the most professional, detailed movers we’ve ever seen. We were super impressed with their service. Milos was also great and responsive to scheduling the appointment. You can’t go wrong with Red Carpet Moving, and we will be using them again should we need anything moved."

"Abba showed up only a few minutes late due to traffic to start the move, but they called ahead of time to let us know. The movers were very friendly and started working immediately. They securely wrapped or boxed all furniture, mirrors, and pictures.
Only one piece of furniture was damaged: a small desk leg was broken. It was raining and the mover slipped on the truck. Abba offered to send someone out to fix it or give us the money it would cost to fix it. We took the money and fixed it ourselves. Luckily all it took was some epoxy. It wasn't a very expensive desk, so since I was able to fix the leg, my wife overlooked the incident.
I really only have 2 complaints about the experience. We were told by the estimator that we didn't have to empty our dressers as the movers would move them with the clothing in them. When the movers started working, they said the dressers would be too heavy and they would have to empty them. This cost time and packing material, neither of which are free. My second complaint is that the estimator severely underestimated the amount and cost of packing materials needed. The quote was for $94, but the final cost of materials was nearly $400. This easy even after the foreman claimed he cut me a break/didn't charge me for some of the materials. I would warn and caution anyone hiring a mover to clarify during the estimation how much packing materials will really be needed.
Bottom line, the movers were friendly and worked hard, and only damage one piece of furniture due to an accident. We would certainly recommend Abba to be considered for a move job and would ourselves consider using them again.

Moving questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you should get a full month’s notice for a move date. If you’re renting, your landlord or property management company is required to give the same amount of notice as your pay period length. So, if you pay rent each month, they will need to give you a month’s notice unless your leasing agreement says otherwise.

It’s not required. Some treadmills aren’t designed for dismantling, so you’ll need to move in one piece. Others can be quickly disassembled and reassembled, so taking them apart is a great way to save on space and make the move easier. Consult your treadmill’s user manual for more information and to find the best option.

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.

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.

Moving brokers are required to advertise that they aren’t moving carriers. While it might be buried in the text of the ad, they need to say somewhere that they aren’t the provider of moving services. Moving brokers should also display their Department Of Transportation number in their advertising. Read all of the advertising materials carefully and ensure your moving company is registered.
