"All Service Moving was exceptional. Great customer service - easy to schedule and flexible. Royce & Frost did an AMAZING job moving all of our very heavy and fragile belongings. They handled all of our requests and items with care and worked both efficiently and quickly. They were super friendly and very customer service oriented. I can't thank them enough for the GREAT job they did. I highly recommend All Service Moving for anything moving and/or storage related. And DEFINITELY request Royce & Frost to handle your job. Thank You!"

"Josh was a very nice person to deal with, but feel with the amount of work there were some things that were over looked. Think it might have been to big of a job for him. I will say he was a very nice person to deal with. But we have a big project for him and feel like somethings were hurried towards the end and did not get all molding and done that should have been done. His customer was very good, just think somethings he told us he would did not get done and it might have been lack of communication on both part."

Moving questions, answered by experts

The most expensive part of moving is hiring professional movers. However, hiring a pro is more efficient and less stressful, so many people find the cost worth it. You’ll also spend a lot of money on packing supplies, including boxes, tape, and bubble wrap, so ask around to see if any friends or family members have old supplies you can use for free.

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.

The base rental cost of a truck is cheaper, on average, and they tend to offer more room than a container. However, the total cost depends on the rental period, distance, move size, storage needs, and travel costs. The main benefit of choosing moving pods is that you don’t have to drive a large truck by yourself, and they can double as storage space. Shipping containers are more efficient for long-distance moves than trucks. 

Around half of Americans hire professional movers, while the other half DIY their moves.

You can lay a refrigerator down to move it with a lot of padding underneath, but it’s best to transport it upright to keep the cooling refrigerant and compressor oil in place. These elements can cause blockages if not given time to settle before turning the fridge on. 

If you need to lay the fridge down to move it, position the fridge door hinges so that doors won’t open while moving.
