"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

There are several effective ways to save money when hiring a moving company, primarily by handling some tasks yourself and being strategic with scheduling. Consider these methods:

  • Pack Your Own Belongings: You can significantly reduce costs by packing and protecting your items yourself. This includes wrapping delicate items, organizing them into boxes, and taping the boxes closed. You can use towels, clothes, and suitcases to pack belongings and protect breakables.

  • Provide Your Own Materials: Source free packing materials from friends and family, or reuse boxes and bubble wrap from a previous move.

  • Schedule Strategically: Book your move well in advance. Rates are often lower if you schedule your move on a weekday during the off-season, which typically runs from October through April.

  • Compare Quotes: Get moving quotes from at least three professional movers in your area. This allows you to compare services and choose the best value.

  • Ask for Discounts: Inquire if the moving company offers any special coupons or deals.

  • Purchase Moving Insurance: Protect your investment by purchasing moving insurance, especially for expensive or antique belongings.

  • Divide the Labor: While you can save money by packing, it's wise to leave the more dangerous and physically demanding work—like loading, unloading, and moving heavy furniture—to the professionals.

Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.

You should always transport the washer and dryer in an upright position. If they are turned on their sides to move, it can cause damage to the internal parts, such as the suspension and drums. Don’t attempt to move a washer or dryer to a new location if it’s sitting on its side.

When moving yourself, you should consider the non-monetary costs, such as time spent and physical and mental stress. If you’re packing and moving every box on your own, or with the help of a few volunteers, you can expect the process to take several days or even weeks. While it’s a less expensive option than hiring full-service movers, keep in mind that the process will be much more difficult.

Yes, many companies offer vehicle relocation as part of their service packages.
