"Both moves couldn't have been smoother. The crew brought all the necessary equipment and staff to enable this change. The lower level piano had to be taken outside and rolled around and in the front door. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and expertise from this company."

"I had the best experience with All Service Moving! Mike and Stan absolutely rock - best moving team ever! They moved me into my new house from Sumner to Spanaway, then my mom a month later from Renton. They were so efficient, careful, professional and friendly. They made sure all our items were carefully wrapped and protected and they moved everything quickly, yet effortlessly - I wouldn't recommend anybody else to get you all settled into wherever your moving! Thank you guys!!"

"Movers were extremely professional and made the move a breeze. They handled my items with great care and ensured that things were put in places I wanted. Great value and well worth not having to go through a stressful move myself. Would highly recommend Nation Capital Moving!"

"This team of men made my move a painless, stress less, almost fun experience. They were quick but efficient at the task at hand. I called them on a Wednesday move and they scheduled me in and showed up on time. We moved out of two storage units and they still charged me an amazing price. Please use these men in your future move. You won't be disappointed!"

"Overall, we had a good experience with this company. I called them on a Monday in the late afternoon for help with moving boxes and furniture out of a container at a storage facility and into our home. They asked realistic questions and understood what we needed. The guys were quick and efficient as well as being very pleasant. I would definitely recommend them."

"The service was excellent! At the last minute I called needing movers and Mack Moving came through. The young man that came to move the items arrived early, which was an added bonus. He moved swiftly, was friendly and helpful. He effortlessly repacked the storage unit to fit all of the items . I will definitely be using and recommending Mack Moving in the future."

Moving FAQs, 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.

Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs. 

The best way to move a 3-bedroom house long distance depends on your budget. Hiring a full-service moving company works best if you have a higher budget. If you’re on a tighter budget, renting a moving van and doing everything yourself is your best bet. Other options include renting a storage container, pod, or freight container. You can also ship your belongings if you don’t have many items. 

Professionals can typically move a one-bedroom apartment in three to five hours. It will take longer if you have many belongings or the destination is far away. The time will also increase if the movers must handle large and cumbersome items, like full sets of dressers and antique wood furniture. DIY moves take significantly longer, typically lasting a full day or more. 

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.
