"We hired Kingsley Moving to pack and move our 2 BR apartment out of state. Communications were good before the move day. Then they arrived on time, were very professional and helpful, and packed things carefully. Then they delivered on time at our new home, only one lamp shade broken. Paperwork on the day of the move got a little rushed but there was a lot going on. We are happy and would hire them again."

"A great experience start to finish. I rescheduled my move a couple times without incident. The team was in communication on all the important stuff. On time and efficient loading/unloading and careful with my belongings. I would recommend Hoekstra Moving Company over any I've used before."

"Aden and his crew put in a retaining wall and concrete pad along with replacing our walkout basement doors and siding. The whole process was flawless from the start. Great communication from the get go. Definitely will be using again for other projects!"

"I love it! Framing and hanging sliding doors that separated kitchen from living room. This is a project that I have wanted to do for a long time and finally got it completed. I own a manufactured home (or as it is called now a mobile home). These homes usually have unique openings and require customized or special orders. John was extremely helpful and brought my vision of what I wanted into reality. He also provided some suggestions which proved to be extremely beneficial. He was quick and efficient with his work. John framed the space from floor to ceiling. John did framing, molding and trim, dry wall (in the space above the doors on both sides), sanded and painted. I will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend this service."

Hello, my name is Tator, I have been working in various trades since I was 15, starting with cutting wood, and then moving to full scale tree service, and ever since I've been interested in developing my next skill, and quickly developed a passion for high quality craftsmanship, and have always loved a challenge. For almost 2 years I worked as a handyman for a local business (Joes Garage) working directly alongside the owner, who was a journeyman millwright by trade, needless to say there was no job we couldn't handle, we did roofing, electrical, drywall, flooring, outdoor patio lighting systems, grout and tile work, lawn care, painting interior and exterior, small engine repair, most of which ide also had previous experience with. I set my expectations high and exceed goals wherever possible, giving a professional, but personal touch with every service no matter what the task, because believe how you do anything is how you do everything.

Moving questions, answered by experts

Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.

Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You’ll still need to lift the dolly—with the couch on it—up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.

If you don’t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.

There are generally three ways to ship furniture to another state: hiring professional movers, using consolidated freight, or through parcel shipping. Professional movers will generally pack your boxes in a truck and transport them to a storage facility or directly to your home. 

A consolidated freight service will pack, load, and ship your items, but this is best to use for one or two pieces since your items will take longer to be delivered and will share truck space with other items. Parcel shipping such as UPS and FedEx is best for smaller items since there are size limits, and you’ll have to drop the boxes off at a local branch.

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.

Moving a grill by yourself is possible, as long as you’re careful. If your grill has wheels, you can simply wheel it to your desired location—or to a moving vehicle if you’re transporting it to a new location. Before moving a grill, make sure it’s cool and clean. And, if you need help moving heavy furniture items, a pro can help.

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.
