"Excellent moving service! My friends recommended me First-Rate Moving & Storage for my move so I called them to see their offer. They gave me very acceptable price, I know that because I also contacted some other moving companies. The move went great, with no issues and quick also. I am completely satisfied how everything turned out and would highly recommend First-Rate Moving & Storage!"

"Utilizing All Service Moving for the move was a very positive experience. They had good communication, answering several questions prior to the move and did a final confirmation just prior to the move date. As for the physical move itself, Jose, Abraham, and Alberto were polite, diligent, and careful moving the many items, and managed to complete the move more quickly than anticipated."

"I recently moved for the third time with Shleppers. They pack and move everything for you, taking all the effort out of moving. They show up on time, take good care of your things, price is reasonable, what else do you want?"

"We couldn't be happier with our experience with Men On The Move. Everyone we dealt with was so professional from the first quote to moving day. Ran, Carlos, Freddy & Tahir took such good care of us and our belongings. Moving is stressful and these men were a delight from start to finish."

Moving questions, answered by experts

Plastic bins are excellent alternatives to moving boxes. They’re more durable than the traditional cardboard. Have any unused suitcases? Those can make for great storage solutions for your long-term needs. Avoid plastic bags or anything that doesn’t allow for breathability.

Start by removing any obstacles in the moving path, such as side tables, lamps, or other furniture. If your couch has legs, unscrew them. Measure the couch and the stairway to ensure you have enough room; if it seems unlikely, examine the shape and size of the couch and decide whether it might fit better up the stairway and through doorways on its side, held diagonally, or moved in an upright position.

Consider putting the sofa on a dolly to go up the stairs. It should be able to fit upright on a standard dolly with wheels. You’ll still need to lift the dolly—with the couch on it—up the stairs, but it will reduce the physical strain. The person holding the dolly should pull the couch up, while the helper should be on the other side, keeping the couch secure and steady.

If you don’t have a dolly, the person in front should lift the couch slightly higher than the person in the back to create more stability. The person in the back should also be the stronger mover, as most of the weight will be distributed there.

If you’re moving other large items that require professional help, you should consider having movers assist you with those as well—especially if they can fit in the same moving truck together. Consider bundling the move with large items like a piano, safe, or large pieces of furniture.

Moving across state lines is a similar process to moving within a state. Packing, loading, and unloading of trucks will follow the same process. The primary difference is during transportation, where your belongings may be loaded onto a dedicated moving truck or combined with other shipments, depending on the distance. Your moving company will offer tracking and ongoing communication of your boxes.   

Yes, it is generally possible to move a stair lift to another home, but the feasibility depends on the type of lift. Straight stair lifts are much simpler to move and can usually be reinstalled on other straight staircases with professional help. Curved stair lifts, however, are custom-built for a specific stairway. Because each rail is designed to fit the unique curves of the original staircase, it is unlikely to work in a new home. Moving a curved lift can be costly and challenging, and you may need to sell or remove the old unit and install a new one at your new location.
