"I have done a lot of moves in my life, both within US and internationally, and Kingsley Moving was one of the best. Everything went smoothly and on time, the guys moving me were amazing - friendly, fast, and very careful with my stuff. Loading in Michigan, full truck, unloaded in Florida 2 days later. Also, the estimate was almost exactly correct, even though it was given sight unseen, over a phone call. Highly recommended!!!"

"Yesterday, Monday, 11/23, Joe and Tyler moved our furniture and belonging from our home in Canton (8730 Eastham Drive) to Westland (34510 Fountain Boulevard). I am writing to express my deep appreciation for Joe and Tyler's care and consideration shown to both homes and to our belongings and furniture during the move. Prior to beginning each move, they assessed the homes and degree of difficulty in moving each item. They were very professional and friendly throughout, in spite of the challenge of moving our belongings to the new home, a townhouse style apartment on three floors! My wife and I are very grateful for their work and diligence in making the move. We highly recommend Bos Moving both for the care and concern shown by the staff and for the reasonable cost."

"Cory and Colton arrived on the time schedule, did a survey on the apartment and quickly started moving the furniture. They were very professional and did the best they could to finish as early as possible."

"The owner of the company Rodney was very professional from start to finish. He promtly returned my call and we discussed what I needed done, packing , boxes and they even shrink wrapped my large pieces furniture which I wasn't aware was included. I moved about 30 miles away and after getting quotes from three other recommended movers I decided on CMC because even though it wasn't the least expensive Rodney seemed the most knowledgeable and cordial. I moved during the pandemic but I was assured that the moving crew would be masked up and wearing gloves , which they did. I asked Mr. Campbell if I needed to even be there while the move happened and he left that decision up to my husband and I, we chose to leave after the move started and we're kept updated as the day went on without any big problems arrising that they couldn't handle. I failed to mention that we also have a piano and a lot of large items having lived in the house 10 years and into a house a bit smaller not one thing was broken! It took two days which was expected. The movers very respectful of our stuff and us, we even ordered them lunch. Our quoted price did go up but not by much due to the piano. CMC actually moved my parents several years ago they to were very pleased with them"

"Chris was our lead mover. He and his team were very professional and carefully moved all of our items into a pod. They took apart our furniture, unmounted tvs and wrapped art work. We are planning on using all my sons again for our move into the new home. The move ended up costing more than we planned due to needing extra moving supplies."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Planning ahead is essential—this will give you the chance to coordinate your move during weekends or after business hours, and set up essential services in your new office before moving day to minimize downtime. Start by creating a detailed timeline and checklist for every phase of the move, from packing to unpacking. Inform your employees, clients, and vendors about the move well in advance, including any expected disruptions and how you plan to manage them. Delegate responsibilities to ensure all aspects of the move are covered. Lastly, set up the essentials at the new location first to resume operations quickly.

Yes, it’s possible to move a shed without dismantling it. You can roll it from one location to another or use a pickup truck, trailer, or forklift to move a fully assembled shed.

Surprisingly, no! For most house moves, you can keep everything inside as is, although we’d recommend taking out any sentimental or extremely fragile items. You’ll need to fully empty your basement or crawl space, but otherwise, your home can be moved with everything intact. Your movers will also be able to provide you with further guidance. 

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 average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.
