"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."

"This is by far the BEST moving experience I have ever had! From getting a quote, to setting up a day and time, to identifying what I wanted moved, to experiencing moving day – everything was easier than I expected. Chris Curry and his team arrived on time and ready to go! They didn’t need to be told twice what to do and because of that I got work done too! They were respectful of my belongings and, get this, NOTHING WAS DAMAGED. And they were funny and friendly and fast!"
"Movers were courteous, professional and efficient. Everything went as smoothly as possible. We had a couch that ultimately could not fit down stairs to be placed in the basement but the guys worked tirelessly to try to make it work and in the end, moved it to another space in the house. They were polite throughout."
You shouldn’t need to move out during a kitchen remodel. However, if it’s an extensive project, expect a lot of dust and construction debris in the kitchen and potentially spread through the house. Your kitchen will also be out of commission, so you’ll need an alternative plan for cooking.
Yes, you can take your potted plants with you when you move if you use sterilized potting soil. However, some states have strict guidelines about this practice, so it’s best to consult the Department of Agriculture’s regulations surrounding pest control and plant types ahead of your move.
Most professional movers can provide a wide range of moving-related services, and you’ll need to pick and choose which ones you want to use. Examples of common services offered include the following:
Organizing and packing your belongings
Protecting delicate items with bubble wrap or other protective equipment
Moving your belongings and furniture out of your old home
Moving your belongings into your new home within a certain distance
To pack mugs safely for a move, start by lining the bottom of your moving box with padded material like bubble wrap. Wrap each mug individually; for a snug fit, you can tuck the ends of the bubble wrap sheet inside the mug. Place the wrapped mugs in the box, using a box with slots for extra separation if available. The key to preventing breakage is to pack the box tightly enough that the mugs cannot shift during transit. Fill any empty gaps with additional packing material. However, be careful not to pack more than 10 mugs in one box, as it can become too heavy to carry safely. Finally, be sure to label the box as “fragile” to alert movers to handle it with care.
Apartments come with strict regulations about what pets are allowed, so check before you sign a lease. If you have a fish or reptile, wait to move them until everything is set up and you’re ready to do a special move just for them and their aquarium/terrarium.
For a dog or cat, be sure you have a carrier before the move. On moving day, it’s best to designate a “safe room” or even a crate for your pet to help them get used to the new space. Keep everything they need in the safe room, and let them explore the rest of the apartment in their own time.
