"Wyvern Moving Services team was so nice to work with and made my move across town as enjoyable as moving can be! My old place was all packed up and moved into my new apartment in what seemed like no time at all. Having moved myself the last time around, Wyvern Moving Services was money well spent!"

"Capital City Movers did an excellent job moving my furniture to a new apartment. Brandon, the relocation consultant, was very courteous and gave me the best price of all the movers I met with. On the day of the move, the team was punctual. They packed all my items carefully and then set the new apartment up perfectly. I plan to use them again for future moves."

"Security Movers and Greg did a spectacular job in moving our family and all of our belongings from our long-time home in Vienna Vrginia to our new home in suburban Chicago. Based on glowing recommendations from two of our neighbors for both Greg and his work, we invited him to quote the move. He spent more than 3 hours reviewing and fully documenting all of our belongings and to fully understand what items we would be moving ourselves or selling off before we moved. His quote was not only more complete but also more affordable than any of the national carriers. Naturally we selected him for the job. Once the move was confirmed and scheduled, Greg truly went above and beyond with numerous deliveries of complimentary boxes and paper packaging gathered from earlier moves. We literally saved thousands of dollars in packaging and boxes because of his help. More than that, he stopped by regularly to check on our progress with packing and stacking to assure that if there were issues or concerns that he could work with us ahead of time so that when “moving day” came - we would be 100% ready But it was more than just Greg – his full team in both Virginia for the load and Chicago for the unload were as friendly and careful as they were fast and efficient. Only one item was broken during the move (a glass pane within a picture frame that we had packed ourselves) compared to the dozens of items broken by poor care and handling in our earlier move to Virginia. Better still – Greg was just as effective when things did not go as planned as he was in working through the plan. When we came up short and needed additional space, he was back in an hour with an additional truck. When there was concern that the second load could take more than a month to get to us, he worked with one of his loading team members to use a rental truck to get our items up to Chicago only a week later. When a key item was accidently packed on the second truck that we needed for our personal travel, he made the trip (late night) to go get the item and have it back on our doorstep before we need to roll out Moving your home and your family is as challenging as it is emotional. Your mover should be someone who makes a difficult time and task easier not harder. Greg and his team did exactly that and it made all the difference for us"

"I could not be happier with how my move went. The movers turned up on time and managed to get everything out of my house without an issue and fast too, despite the difficult stairs at my apartment. The rest of the move went without issue as well. Before the process even started, I had gotten a phone call previously from the sales rep, who had set everything up for me, they did everything they could to make me feel comfortable. If I needed to move again I would definitely use VKH Movers. Highly recommended moving service."

"Movers were fast and professional. They knew how to setup the piano and even pointed out several things to us. They provided pre-move damage pictures as well. They worked within a very tight time frame and on short notice. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing a piano moved."

"Hiring these guys was the best decision ever! My husband and I normally DIY when it comes to moving. Since we moved into our townhome we accumulated a lot more then we had in out tiny apartment. It seemed overwhelming trying to DIY this time around. We searched around a bit but got a recommendation from a friend who used Johnson's in the past. We got a quote from Johnson's that was very reasonable compared to some of the other places we called. 
We thought we'd have a month or so to coordinate but things moved a lot quicker then we expected. We had just a few days to pack and move! We called Johnson and they were able to get our move scheduled very last minute.
I should mention on move day we were not 100% packed. There were still some odds and ends left to be done. The crew was very understanding and helpful. We got the job done quickly and under budget! Woohoo!
I will definitely use and recommend Johnson Moving And Storage in the future.

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Qualified piano movers will take several steps to protect your piano from damage during the move. First, they'll wrap the piano to protect its finish. Ideally, they'll wrap the piano in a specialized blanket that features a soft, padded interior and a tougher exterior. 

After wrapping your piano, the movers will securely strap it to a dolly for safe transport to and from the moving truck. Once the piano is in the truck, movers might put the piano on a piece of plywood to help level it during the move, depending on the truck bed. They will then strap it in place so it doesn't shift around during the drive to your final destination.

Old pianos can be hard to sell for a few reasons. Pianos fifty years or older may only sell for several hundred dollars and will often cost more to transport to the new owners. Restoring a piano also costs well into the thousands, making it pretty hard to make your money back. In most cases, donating or recycling the parts of a piano is more cost-efficient and beneficial in the long run.

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.

Moving a one-bedroom apartment yourself can range from $150 to more than $1,500, depending on distance, the amount of belongings you have, and more. On the other hand, the cost of hiring movers for a one-bedroom apartment is around $1,850 on average. You’ll save money with the DIY route, but the process is much more labor-intensive and time-consuming.

It is best to book a moving company two to three months before your move-out date. This provides enough time to compare rates, organize your belongings, and find an available crew for your desired day and time. While you might find movers with only one or two weeks' notice, some companies require booking up to 90 days in advance.

Planning ahead is especially important if you're moving during the busy summer season when demand is highest. Summer weekends, in particular, book up quickly. Securing your movers well in advance helps you avoid the stress and potential extra fees of last-minute arrangements.
