"They did an excellent job. The movers, Adoni, Richard, and Peter (?), were punctual, friendly, strong, and professional. I couldn't be happier. Due to the complex nature of the move, there was a confusion about two tables, and the problem had to be fixed two days later. Stefan was extremely helpful and courteous in getting the problem resolved.. This is a top-notch group and I would gladly use them again.

"I recently used Van Express to move from New Jersey to Maryland. I am a recent widow and was concerned about how I could handle this move by myself. I contracted with Van Express for the move and it was the best decision I could have made. They helped make a very stressful situation painless. The team of Mark, Brian, Jeff and Louie took excellent care in packing up my home. Furniture was blanket wrapped and great care was taken with any of the glass items. They remained very cheerful even with the hot temperatures of the day. They were all polite and friendly. I was very impressed. They (this time Mark, Brian and Jeff) came the next day to my new residence in Maryland which is in a high rise building and again were friendly and cheerful during the grueling day. They had to load the furniture in an elevator and bring down a hallway and never complained. My furniture and boxes arrived in excellent condition and I was very pleased. They arrived both days on time and the price quoted was the price charged. I totally recommend this company."

"Great team of folks. I had a last minute move that was rescheduled multiple times because I didn't get a clear to close. The day I got the clear to close, I had to vacate my apartment the same day. Dan was able to save the day by getting a truck to me in an hour. His team worked to get my apartment moved out of and into my home all in the SAME DAY!. All of my items were packed, moved and unpacked without damage and none of the items were missing. The moving team was super professional, nice and understanding to the rushed nature of the move. This is the 3rd time I've moved White Glove moving and I highly recommend them."

"It went absolutely perfect They packed all my belongings for me and loaded truck in same day... 3 men...approx 5 hrs to do all this work My things were delivered to my new home on day and time promised Driver even called me evening before to re-confirm the agreed upon time and when they arrived they unloaded everything and placed my furniture where I asked them to All was packed so well that when I unpacked the many boxes, I found so much paper wrap that it was "hard" to find the item...LOL! But this is what kept all my things in great condition; plus, my furniture (each piece) was wrapped with quilts and plastic Everything was in great condition; no damages, no breakages! Would recommend them for short or long distance moves As a matter of fact this is the 2nd time I used McAvery Movers b/c the 1st time was a short distance move approx 6 1/2 yrs ago and everything went so very very well that I didn't hesitate to use them again The men who work for McAvey are professional, friendly and extremely trustworthy Kudos to them!"

"When I first called him he gave me a quote over the phone (not written) and I thought that the quote was about $3300 but later he said it was more like $3700. He was nice enough to hold everything for me for a day though and he was very patient with my date changes. They did a good job with the move too. We even bought the guys lunch and tipped them because they worked very hard and we were happy with the work."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Depending on the type of expense, it is possible to deduct moving costs on your taxes. For example, you can deduct for packing, crating, insurance, in-transit storage, and using a trailer. However, you cannot deduct expenses such as moving furniture, security deposits, and home buying and selling expenses.

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.

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.

To prepare for moving a piano, start by documenting its current condition with photos in case of any damage during the move. Secure the piano's lid and wrap the instrument, including its keys and pedals, with bubble wrap and moving blankets for protection. Note that if you have hired professional piano movers, they may handle this step for you.

Next, prepare the space. Measure any tight spaces or doorways to ensure the piano will fit through. Clear a wide path from the piano's location to the exterior door, removing any furniture or obstacles. It is also helpful to prop open doors to make the exit easier.

On moving day, ensure the moving truck can park as close to the exit as possible. For safety, keep children and pets away from the moving area to prevent accidents or distractions.

Moving straps like forearm or shoulder straps can usually support up to 800 pounds, sometimes more with specialized straps. However, that doesn’t mean that one person can always lift that much weight, just that the straps are rated for that amount. For example, some straps require two people working together to balance the weight of the heavy item.
