Get matched with top movers in Big Sky, MT

Q: Is it cheaper to move myself?

• <div><p>Yes, it is cheaper to move yourself than to hire professional movers. The average DIY move costs <b>$120 to $2,300</b>, while professionals cost <b>$890 to $2,570</b> on average or up to <b>$12,000</b> for the longest distances. While you&rsquo;ll save on the cost of professional labor with a DIY move, you&rsquo;ll spend more time and energy packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and unpacking. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to move a one-bedroom apartment?

• <div><p>Professionals can typically move a one-bedroom apartment in three to five hours. It will take longer if you have many belongings or the destination is far away. The time will also increase if the movers must handle large and cumbersome items, like full sets of dressers and antique wood furniture. DIY moves take significantly longer, typically lasting a full day or more. </p></div>

Q: Can I pay movers to pack my stuff?

• <div><p>Yes: Many moving companies also offer packing services, so you can get a quote that covers the entire move from start to finish. </p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to move long-distance, such as to another state or cross-country?

• <div><p>Renting a moving truck or using a shipping container (or moving pod) are typically the cheapest ways to move long-distance. For moving a few items, a container can cost as little as $700. Renting a standard-sized moving truck averages between $1,200 and $2,100. For longer distances, moving pods can become more cost-effective, as you can ship the pod to your destination and avoid transportation costs like gas, mileage, and lodging.</p></div>

Q: What is the best move-in date?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using a moving company, the best move in date typically occurs on a weekday in the middle of the month between September and April. Mid-month moves on weekdays are less popular and therefore less costly, and the weather will usually be less severe in the fall or spring. However, if staying on budget is your priority, a mid-month move on a weekday in the winter is your best bet at finding the best deal. </p></div>

"Mike helped me move out of my 4000sq/ft house. It was a big day of lifting carrying and stacking objects and he was capable and up for the challenge. Fun guy to spend a day with and went beyond the expectation, all for a fraction of the cost of the other quotes I received. Would recommend if you need a few extra hands for a move."
