"They moved a slate pool table from one basement to mine. They disassembled it and reassembled including spending over an hour of leveling it. Certainly recommend them."

"He was easy to communicate with (despite the fact that my phone broke a couple of days before service and I needed to change the date because my movers were late). He helped make at least one aspect of a stressful time (moving) peaceful and simple."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Wow! Just wanted to take a moment to say how very impressed we are with Danny and the outcome of our repair. The level of courteous and professional service we received was honestly a sweet surprise in todays world. Owning a duplex has exposed us to several repair persons and none have ever been as responsive, thorough or efficient as Honey Do & More. We are so glad to have found your business and you all will be the first we recommend or call when we need help with this old house again which I'm sure isn't too far off into the future. Thank you so much for being great!"

"Aaron Hill was recommended to me from my Real Estate agent after buying my home in Stillwater. He came through! Seemed very open to any job big or small! He helped me repair my favorite lamps that were damaged in moving. :) He also helped with my Fall cleanup and snow removal this winter. He was very thorough and very very fair! I intend to keep using his multitalented services in the future! I highly recommend!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

You can’t start preparing for movers too soon. Some steps, like scheduling the movers and arranging for pet care, need to happen months ahead to fit into busy schedules, especially if you’re moving during on-season.

Several weeks ahead of the moving date, start packing lesser-used rooms and supplies. As the moving day gets closer, move your packing toward more and more essential rooms until only a few necessities are left on the day ahead of the move.

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.

You shouldn’t need to move out during a kitchen remodel. However, if it’s an extensive project, expect a lot of dust and construction debris in the kitchen and potentially spread through the house. Your kitchen will also be out of commission, so you’ll need an alternative plan for cooking.

There are different types of moving companies, and you’ll want to look for one that has experience moving houses. Ask them how many houses they’ve moved, how long they’ve been in business, whether they coordinate all of the labor, permits, and subcontractors needed, and what their liability is for any damages incurred.

Movers wrap furniture in plastic to provide protection during transportation or storage. Plastic wrap acts as a barrier, safeguarding furniture from dust, dirt, moisture, and potential scratches or damage. It helps to keep upholstery, wood, or delicate surfaces intact, preventing wear and tear during the moving process. Additionally, plastic wrap helps to secure loose components of furniture, such as drawers or doors, reducing the risk of breakage.
