Q: Should you tip professional movers?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-tip-movers.htm">Tipping movers</a> isn&rsquo;t mandatory, and most professional companies won&rsquo;t expect it, but it is a nice way to say &ldquo;thank you&rdquo; and to show your appreciation for the care they took while handling your belongings.

Q: How do movers handle fragile items?

• <div><p>Professional movers use dedicated packing materials like specialty boxes for artwork, TVs, clothes and other things that need to be moved with care. If professional movers are packing for you, they use foam, bubble wrap, and other cushioning for the journey. You can ask questions about how movers will handle specific items when you are getting a price estimate.</p></div>

Q: Should you order food for movers?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don&rsquo;t need to order food for movers. They will schedule breaks to eat throughout the day. However, you can provide drinks and snacks in an easy-to-access location for the movers to grab throughout the day. </p></div>

Q: How do movers protect pianos from damage?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money when hiring a moving company?

• <div><p>The best way to<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-ways-save-money-your-next-move.htm"> save money when hiring a moving company</a> is to pack and protect your belongings yourself, which includes wrapping delicate items in bubble wrap, putting belongings into organized boxes, and taping the boxes closed. You can then leave the more dangerous and physically demanding work&mdash;like loading and unloading the boxes and moving furniture&mdash;to the professionals. You can also save money by scheduling services in advance and moving during the off-season, which is usually the winter.</p></div>

Incredible company. Had a tricky move and Red Carpet was able to brainstorm a solution and get in done timely. Cannot recommend them enough for moving just about anything.

My son is not always willing to learn when he doesn't feel confident. Mr. Callahan is a patient and observant teacher. I enjoyed the occasionally "mini-concert" when I picked my son up. I highly recommend Mr. Callahan as a piano teacher.

"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

"This review is for MID ATLANTIC MOVERS IN GAITHERSBURG MARYLAND. This company is full of swindlers and thieves. I am heartbroken about what they put my brother and sister-in-law through. I've never seen such poor business. They stole money. They put extra weight in the truck. They told my brother 2,800 by the end had him out over 10,000. They will lie and say that this is the "wrong company" and it wasn't them. If you want to be taken advantage of and stolen from by all means, hire these thieves. Every review thats not include friends or family is awful. Im reporting them to the better business bureau as well. My poor brother and his wife have 2 small children. They disgusted me, and it's so sad. What horrible people. I'll be attaching images soon. Updates to come. When you steal, and a customer has proof.. well we all know what happens.
