Finally, moving day! We asked Ruth Movers to load up our belongings from our old house and unload at our new house. The move was made so much easier by Ruth Movers' careful, thoughtful, and professional service. We had some last-minute stress from the closings, and Ruth Movers were communicative and helpful through the whole process. Again, we were impressed with the care that they took with our belongings, and with the friendliness and supportiveness of their staff. We have a family of four, and we have a lot of heavy furniture and some antiques, so we appreciated the care they took with all of our belongings. I would highly recommend Ruth Movers to anyone considering a local move - they have branched out from piano moving, and they have proven themselves to be up to the task of larger-scale moves.

I contacted Mr. Zhou who responded immediately. He came in promptly and by the time he left, the piano was sounding beautiful again. I've had many other tuners in the past. The sound was great at first but unfortunately their tuning almost always required frequent re-tunings, often just one...

Rick tuned the piano nicely, fixing a couple of quick problems along the way at no extra cost. He did a great job. Piano happily in tune and the only remaining mechanical issues are ones that would require a dedicated visit to fix (taking the mechanism off the front of the piano). Very...

Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.
"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

"Genuinely one of the slimiest individuals I've ever worked with. From the beginning, he was a referral from a family member of mine. The entire process was a headache. He broke my washer, 2 tv's and my entire desk. ONLY thing i asked them to replace was a desk. Its been 4 months and theres been nothing but dodged calls and texts, no accountability and no ethic. Luis Turcios is a scumbag of a owner, and just a bad person to business with unfortunately. I dont trust him, and i'd advise no one trust him with their belongings. So much for being a man of faith"

"The 2 people who actually showed up were professional, although they arrived very late, which I attribute to three poor management. I was quoted 3 guys for 8 hours, and only 2 showed up. They attempted to overcharge me the original quote. Long story short, Tower contracted a local company and did a poor job of handing over the job."

"It went great until we got to our destination. He came across as very professional. BUT, Once we got to our new home, we discovered he left a dolly under our huge wine refrigerator which cause a huge crack in the side. He also did not properly load pool table slates that were prepared ahead of time for a cross country move. He laid them down instead of standing them up cause one to completely break in half. He assured me when I hired him he had insurance and we signed a contract that did not state a timeline of damage notification. Now he says I only had 3 days to notify him when he knew the move would be over a week. All I want is the insurance information to file a claim which he is refusing to give. Too bad this site doesn't allow photos. Get his insurance ahead of time."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts
Generally, you should hire movers when moving large, heavy objects. Professional movers can take much of the work off your hands and remove the risk of personal injury. But if you’re only moving a few light items, you can save money by making the move on your own and renting a moving truck.
It takes professional movers longer to load a moving truck than unload it. However, it depends on the specifics of your move. It takes some time to strategize the most efficient way to load the moving truck with your furniture, boxes, and belongings. That’s why it’s important to rent the right size moving truck to ensure everything fits and makes the loading process move faster.
It is not necessary to tip piano movers, and workers from reputable companies generally won’t expect tips. However, if you’re pleased with the service and the movers are friendly and respectful, tipping can show your appreciation for how well the crew cared for what is likely a very expensive instrument. Tipping between $20 and $40per mover is about average.
Tipping movers isn’t required, and most professional movers won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for the care they put into keeping your belongings and home safe. It’s best to tip each mover individually, usually around $10each per hour. It’s a good idea to tip your movers if they took extra time to pack your belongings before moving, or if they moved specialty items, like a piano, pool table, aquariums, or vehicles.
You should book your moving company as far in advance as possible, at least two months or more. This is especially important if you're moving during the summer months, which are the peak moving season. This will help you save money on unexpected expenses and the stress that comes with trying to find a mover, which can be harder during certain months of the year.
