"Smith and Sons was hired to move all of our larger furniture for a local move. They called before arriving and arrived on time. They immediately got to work having us walk through each of the rooms and explain what was being taken. They then got to work and very methodically moved everything on to the truck. They asked us questions when required, and moved very quickly. After about an hour they had fully loaded up the truck and we went to our new house. Upon arrival they did another walkthrough to understand where things were going. Their care in level of detail was noticed, they put bedside tables on the same sides, dressers in the correct places, and took extra care to protect everything. We did not have one nick, scratch, or ding. The whole process took only about 2 1/2 hours and we were extremely pleased with the efficiency and professionalism displayed."

"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."

"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"

"I had a wonderful experience with your company From my Move on November 7th. The entire crew were fast and friendly. Not a thing was scratched or bent/broken or dented. You all worked ahead of the clock and I am very happy with everything from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anybody that would need to move. Again thank you for working with our family on our move. I can tell your team is a family also."

"These two gentlemen made moving two refrigerators to different floors look like a cakewalk! They were very polite and took great care not damage anything. I’ll be hiring their services again the next time I need something moved."

"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

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.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how far you can move your house. Interstate moves will involve additional permits and regulations, with some states having different requirements than others. The most important factor relating to the distance you can move a house is the route that has to be taken to get there. In areas with narrow, winding roads, hilly terrain, and low-clearance bridges, it can be very difficult and expensive to move a home long distances.

Yes, it’s possible, but it’s important to be extremely careful, and always remove rocks and heavier hardscape items. Drain all the water from the tank, leaving just enough to keep the gravel slightly submerged to keep your bacteria alive. Then, grab a helper or two and carefully lift the tank from either side, supporting the bottom and keeping it level. If the tank is especially heavy, consider slipping plywood underneath to minimize pressure on the glass. Be sure to pack it so it stays level and doesn’t shift during transit.

Deciding whether it's worth it to hire movers depends on your budget, patience, and physical capabilities. It's difficult to gauge the amount of work that moving calls for, and it's easy to be off by about tenfold. 

If you're able to call in some favors and round up friends to help, you might get through it just fine, but if you only have a few hands helping, things can quickly get overwhelming. Either way, bringing in the pros will save considerable time and stress, so if it's within your budget, it's a great investment.

The best way to transport plants when moving is to prep them properly, cover the soil, pack them tightly in boxes, and take extra precautions depending on state plant regulations, weather, and distance. You should be sure to fill in the gaps around your plants to minimize movement during transit and plan to unpack them shortly after arriving at your destination.
