"Moving is stressful! Shaheed Mccowen and his crew made moving day as easy a possible. They were polite, personable and worked hard for us. Our belongings, some very old and delicate, were handle with care and everything arrived in great condition. Thank you guys. Thanks guys! Except for an estimating snag, the overall experience while working with All My Sons Moving and storage was worth the money."

"Cav Movers came highly recommended by a friend who used them to move their family to Charlottesville, Virginia from Washington D.C. I used them to move out of Charlottesville, it was pretty easy to coordinate a time for a my move with them. The guys arrived punctually and performed their job in a efficient and enthusiastic manner. I especially appreciated their attention to detail with some of more precious pieces of property. They even finished with time to spare and assisted me in disassembling some of my furniture. I will certainly recommend them to whoever wants a conscientious crew of workers at an affordable cost to help them move. Great job y'all, keep it up!"

"XPress Movers helped me move my stuff from a storage unit into my newly completed house. They showed up at the scheduled time and notified me of their ETA. Once there, they took very good care of my things by wrapping furniture items in moving pads/blankets and plastic wrap designed for moving. I paid them a flat fee for the move and I was surprised to find out that wrapping my furniture in this method was included in the price. The 2 men that moved me were very polite and friendly and treated my stuff as it if were their own. More importantly, they did not bang up my brand new house (new construction) or scuff up any walls, though my house doesn't have any particularly tough corners or tight spots. In fact, 2 days after my move and I could not find even a single mark they left behind. The price they charged me was exactly what they quoted and found it to be very reasonable for a relatively easy and straight forward move.

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including:
Is there anything your company won’t move?
Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?
Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture?
Are there packing restrictions?
Can you guarantee my delivery date?
Can you provide references?
What do you charge extra for?
What is your cancellation policy?
Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs.
The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line.
For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.
In the world of professional moving, moves are broken up into two categories—a local move and a long-distance move. A local move is anything considered under 100 miles, regardless if you’re crossing over state lines. A long-distance move is anything over 100 miles, even if you stay in the same state or location.
If you’re hiring movers to help with your move, there are a few things that you can do ahead of time to set yourself (and the moving company) up for success.
Donate or sell items ahead of time to lessen the amount to move
Alert your neighbors (or apartment management) of the move so they can plan for the moving truck to arrive
Pack your belongings securely ahead of your moving date
Disconnect any appliances prior to the moving date
Clear a path for the movers to move freely inside your home
Dispose of hazardous materials
Discuss with your moving coordinator where to unload the boxes
