Moving questions, answered by experts

Moving a washer and dryer can be difficult due to the appliances’ weight and size. If you need to move these appliances up or down stairs, then it will be more challenging. It also depends on the type of dryer you have, as a gas dryer is more complicated to disconnect than an electric dryer. The difficulty of the task also depends on whether you’re easily wheeling the washer and dryer up a moving truck’s loading ramp or lifting them yourself.

You should transfer utilities at least two weeks before your final move-out date. It is best to schedule the turning off of all utilities 24 hours after your move. Doing so will ensure a smooth transition without any gaps in service while you are still living in the home.

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: 

  • Is there anything your company won’t move? 

  • Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?

  • Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? 

  • Are there packing restrictions?

  • Can you guarantee my delivery date?

  • Can you provide references? 

  • What do you charge extra for?

  • What is your cancellation policy?

You should budget cash for about two to three months of living expenses, including everything from rent and food to utilities and transportation. Before planning an out-of-state move, break down the anticipated cost of the transition, including moving vehicle rental, hiring movers, and packing materials. Since cross-country moves cost between $2,400 to $6,860, plan to save accordingly.

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.
