"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

Yes, you can very carefully lay down a grandfather clock to move it, but it requires a bit of prep work. Remember, all of your clock's components and mechanisms are delicate, and shifting them can cause serious damage. Before laying it down, you will need to remove these pieces, plus the weights and the pendulum.

When planning an out-of-state move, you should aim to save enough money to cover at least two to three months of living expenses, including rent, food, utilities, and transportation. Ideally, saving for six months or more is best, especially if you don't have a job lined up. You also need to budget for the transition costs, such as a moving vehicle rental, hiring movers, and packing materials. Cross-country moves typically cost between $2,400 and $6,860. You can calculate your estimated moving costs in advance based on factors like distance, weight, and the number of bedrooms.

You should consider hiring professional movers for moves that seem too daunting, dangerous, or involve large, heavy objects. The larger your home and the longer the distance, the more likely you are to need professional help. A moving service can take the hardest tasks off your plate and reduce the risk of personal injury. However, if you are only moving a few light items, you can save money by moving on your own and renting a truck. Keep in mind that a DIY move requires significant planning and time. A hybrid option is also available, where you hire movers just to lift and transport heavy items to your vehicle.

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.

If you’re moving locally, pack up your condiments in a cooler and move them in your car or moving truck so you can put them in the fridge as soon as you arrive at your new place. For long-distance moves, use up or empty out all opened condiments or give them to your neighbors. Pack unopened condiments in a box or give them away if you don’t want to move them.
