"They were great moving guys. The staff was easy to work with. They moved our entire apartment and our storage unit in about eight hours. This would be the best money you could spend on a move."

"My gosh what a good experience. Seriously, with a mover!! The crew showed up right on time, were very careful about having runners everywhere they went (on a wet rainy day), wrapped and/or padded everything, and hustled non-stop. They asked me a number of times if I needed this or that done, or if they could help with something else. The whole move took the time they had estimated, not a bit of damage - which I find is rare! I wish I had a sixth star to give. This was perfect!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

If you are trying to reduce costs, then you should move to Hawaii during the off-season. Typically late spring and fall is when flights and other accommodations are most affordable. The weather is also milder, which makes unpacking more pleasant.

Not all furniture needs to be disassembled. Smaller items or pieces that are easily transportable might not require disassembly. You only need to worry about assembling large pieces, like a sofa, in order to fit through existing door frames and hallways. Before you disassemble anything, take measurements of your furniture and talk to your moving company about what should be taken apart prior to moving.

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.

Apartments come with strict regulations about what pets are allowed, so check before you sign a lease. If you have a fish or reptile, wait to move them until everything is set up and you’re ready to do a special move just for them and their aquarium/terrarium.

For a dog or cat, be sure you have a carrier before the move. On moving day, it’s best to designate a “safe room” or even a crate for your pet to help them get used to the new space. Keep everything they need in the safe room, and let them explore the rest of the apartment in their own time.

The maximum size of a tiny home you can move depends on your state transportation guidelines, but the rule of thumb is a maximum of 400 square feet. However, as long as it falls within the local limits for traveling on public roadways, you should be good to hit the road.
