"They were quick, efficient, professional and caring about the stuff they moved.  It went very smoothly and Stefan was a pleasure to work with.  His whole crew was exceptional.  I would use them again.  There isn't enough good things I can say about Sterling Moving and Storage.

"The movers did good work, but as is the case with most moving companies, it was unclear about the final payment terms until the end. In particular, travel time was an additional fee, not included in the deal purchased."

"I would recommend Mahwah Movers. This was the second time using them when I moved. When I moving into a co-op, it was all last minute and Mike made room for me so we could move by the end of the month. June is a very busy for moving. I was very appreciative and was so relieved that he was able to help me. I later called him up in July as I found two pieces of furniture that I had purchased. I called Mike last minute and told him the pieces of furniture had to be picked up in a few days as the sellers were moving. I was a nervous wreck, but again Mike came through for me. His workers are professional and very pleased with everything they did. I would recommend them to my friends and family!"

"It turned out great; no problem.  They're wonderful.  They were a good price, too.  He was good all around the board.  For punctuality - showed up on time, no problem.  Actually, the house I was moving in to, I recommended them to her and she used them before I did.  They moved us back-to-back.  The movers were very professional, they moved everything in a timely fashion, they didn't sit around, and  they were courteous,"

"I was very pleased with the services we received from Moving Ahead, Garden City Park. My son was moving his things from our garage/basement to his apartment in Ridgewood. We called on a Wednesday and were able to book 2 men to help us on Saturday morning. The price quote we got was fair and Danny helped us out with our needs. They called to confirm the appointment and on the day of the move they called to confirm that they were on their way. They were very professional and helpful even if we had more boxes than I originally thought. They were very efficient got everything loaded in the truck in an hour. The movers were also helpful when we asked if they could also help us pick up a couch that my son was buying a few blocks from their new apartment. We could not have moved in such a timely and efficient fashion without their help. Will definitely hire them again."

"Trying to get a hold of them to schedule the move and confirm some details was next to impossible. I had to call several times, couldn't get the person I needed, and they never called back. Luckily we were able to confirm details at basically the last minute. They showed up over an hour late with no call to let us know. We had used them in the past and knew they weren't top notch movers but for the price and what we needed it was good enough. They were even later this time than last which was very frustrating. During the move we lost my husband's power drill (we think they may have thought it was theirs but when we called them about it after they dismissed it) and we can't find a few other pieces (suitcase, etc) that we aren't sure how those could have been misplaced. They also tried to replace shelves on a shelving unit we have (we have 2 with slightly different sized boards) and when it didn't fit they just slammed it in. Now I can't get it out without breaking it more so its just an awkward, unlevel shelf. I called them about all of this and they kind of blew me off. I knew when we hired them the second time they weren't the best but they were cheap and we more or less knew what to expect. Overall even when we had to replace the things they were still less expensive (and had more flexible availability) than other companies. We knew what we were getting ourselves into and knew it was worth the savings. For this reason I would likely hire them again (also very well knowing what I was getting myself into) but be very aware of how the day went. The men were very nice and polite while there."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Yes, moving a piano often causes it to become out of tune, even if you're not moving the piano very far. One reason is that any temperature and humidity changes can affect a piano's tuning. Additionally, the bumps and jolts from a moving truck usually push a piano out of tune. 

However, don't jump right to tuning it once the piano gets to your new home. Instead, it's best to wait at least two weeks for the instrument to acclimate to its new environment. After a couple weeks, you'll get an idea of what the piano will really sound like in its new home, at which point you can call a piano technician to get it properly tuned.

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.

A DIY move is cheaper than paying movers. However, hiring professional movers can save you time and stress.

This depends on your specific needs and budget. If you’re looking for the most cost-effective way to ship furniture, a self-moving service that provides pods may be your best option. If cost isn’t an issue and you’re more concerned with the security of your items, you may want to hire a white-glove furniture delivery company with ironclad insurance policies to help.

Qualified piano movers will take several steps to protect your piano from damage during the move. First, they'll wrap the piano to protect its finish. Ideally, they'll wrap the piano in a specialized blanket that features a soft, padded interior and a tougher exterior. 

After wrapping your piano, the movers will securely strap it to a dolly for safe transport to and from the moving truck. Once the piano is in the truck, movers might put the piano on a piece of plywood to help level it during the move, depending on the truck bed. They will then strap it in place so it doesn't shift around during the drive to your final destination.
