"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."

"Truly the best moving experience I’ve ever had! Yams and his team made everything as seamless as possible. What would’ve been an incredibly long and painful move to do ourselves was so pleasant, easy and efficient with Vela movers! 10/10 would recommend!!!"

"Great customer service and they were super professional. We had an issue with getting into our new place and they worked with us and were patient. Hard working moving crew. Would definitely hire again if moving."

"Shleppers is an amazing moving company that cared for me and my wife. We moved from New York to Chicago, and they sent two guys who efficiently and effectively moved us. They also made a local move for us and were the first moving company to refund us because they didn't do as much work as intended. 5/5!"

"Incredible service. Was moving from New York to Philadelphia from one 4th floor walkup to another. The team did everything so quickly, and managed to move a lot of heavy and complicated furniture through tight stairwells. This is my second time using Great Moving and I hope to have their help if I ever move again."

"Our move included a detached workshop with tools, storage cabinets, and equipment that required careful loading. The crew asked how we wanted the items grouped and followed the arrangement throughout the move. Heavy cabinets were secured properly, while smaller tools remained packed together. Unloading at the new property was organized and efficient. It was clear they had experience handling more than just standard household furniture."

Moving FAQs, answered by experts

No, homeowners insurance does not typically cover moving expenses. Homeowners insurance provides coverage and pay-outs if you experience damage to the home you currently live in. You’ll need to save separately for moving expenses like hiring movers, renting a tow truck, or shipping your belongings.

How long it takes to move into an apartment depends on many factors, including the amount of belongings you’re bringing with you, how accessible the apartment is (do you have an elevator, or will you be walking up and down several flights of stairs with boxes?), and whether or not you’re hiring a moving company. Having said that, for a local one-bedroom apartment, it usually takes a moving company between two and five hours to move you in.

A house may need to be moved due to land redevelopment, to avoid demolition, to preserve a historic structure, to adapt to zoning changes, or to relocate to a safer or more desirable location because of climate change.

It’s typically not advisable to move heavy furniture by yourself. However, if you are confident that you can do it safely, there are several different tools you can use, including a hand truck, a four-wheel dolly, or an appliance dolly. If you’re moving furniture upstairs or downstairs, a hand truck is the most suitable choice. Regardless of what you choose to use, always ensure that the furniture is well-balanced and secure by using lifting straps or tie-down straps to keep it in place.

The best ways to prepare for movers include decluttering and properly labeling boxes. Decluttering lessens the workload and ensures you are not bringing unwanted items into your new home. Labeling boxes lets movers know which rooms they belong in, reducing confusion when it's time to unpack.
