"I wanted to move my piano into climate-controlled storage while I was having new flooring installed in my home, so I found Johnson’s Piano Moving based on their excellent online reviews. Ted from Johnson’s worked with me to have my piano moved into their climate-controlled storage for a week during the installation. My house has a side entrance which made the move pretty challenging, but the excellent crews who moved the piano out and back in were very creative in accommodating the challenge with the front door and they took great care not to damage my railings on the stoop. I highly recommend Johnson’s Piano Moving!"

"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."

"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!"

"I am not easy to impress because I am a perfectionist. But the movers from Great Nation Moving did the impossible. They impressed me like anything. I tried a lot but I couldnâ t fault them at all. The rep was coordinating the entire process. The moving team arrived on time with his helpers. Nothing was damaged or dented, not even a spot on anything. They displayed the best use of skill and experience. I am recommending this company to everyone for all kind of moving services."

"I couldnâ t be happier with the local moving services provided by American Relocation. I have moved 6 times over the past 7 years spanning 4 different states, and this was BY FAR my best experience. The three men that came were on time, professional, and they were transparent about all costs. I noticed some of the reviews mention the added costs of tape, boxes, and packaging certain items, but in my experience, this is typical of a moving company. They were also the cheapest quote of 4 comparable local movers that I contacted, so the lower hourly price offsets the extra costs anyway. The alternatives are to 1) buy your own tape, bubble wrap, and have extra boxes for them to use; or 2) hire a few guys with a low hourly rate and accept that your things will not be taken care of properly. With each moving company that I have used, the men arrive and work hard, but they usually tire out getting to the new location. I have had movers decide to unload everything to one room and call it a day, drop things, and carelessly bang furniture moving up and down the stairs. The point person for the three men, George, was phenomenal in directing the crew. They wrapped all furniture with total care and communicated very well with each other when moving stuff to/from the truck. We just moved to our forever home, but I would use them again without hesitation!!"

"Great moving company! Movers were polite, worked quickly and safely. Took care to wrap my furniture in plastic to protect it. I moved during COVID-19 pandemic; movers wore masks, which was appreciated. Owner was easy to deal with. Would use them again. Highly recommend!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

The best ways to prepare for movers include decluttering and properly labeling boxes. Decluttering lessens the workload and ensures you are not bringing unwanted items into your new home. Labeling boxes lets movers know which rooms they belong in, reducing confusion when it's time to unpack.

The number of boxes you need to move depends on the size of their house and whether your style is minimalist or maximalist. However, on average, most people need around 60 boxes to move. It’s essential to pick the correct box sizes to ensure efficient packing.

Depending on your safe’s size and weight, we don’t recommend moving the safe without hiring professional movers. A moving service will have the equipment and skills necessary to move this heavy, bulk item safely. If you insist on moving it yourself, enlist the help of a few friends to help you move the gun safe with a furniture dolly.

Knowing how much a typical long-distance move will cost is the first step in the budgeting process. Start by calling at least three local moving companies for quotes so you have a ballpark range—then you can start saving weekly. You can also start decluttering your home to reduce your truck weight and try to find donated packing supplies from local businesses or neighbors that recently moved. 

Movers wrap furniture in plastic to provide protection during transportation or storage. Plastic wrap acts as a barrier, safeguarding furniture from dust, dirt, moisture, and potential scratches or damage. It helps to keep upholstery, wood, or delicate surfaces intact, preventing wear and tear during the moving process. Additionally, plastic wrap helps to secure loose components of furniture, such as drawers or doors, reducing the risk of breakage.
