"All Service Moving was exceptional. Great customer service - easy to schedule and flexible. Royce & Frost did an AMAZING job moving all of our very heavy and fragile belongings. They handled all of our requests and items with care and worked both efficiently and quickly. They were super friendly and very customer service oriented. I can't thank them enough for the GREAT job they did. I highly recommend All Service Moving for anything moving and/or storage related. And DEFINITELY request Royce & Frost to handle your job. Thank You!"

"I was in a bind when the first moving company didnâ t show. I called â All My Sonsâ in a panic and they were able to move me the same day. I called at 10:30 and by 8pm the move was completed. They guys (Robert, Joe and Jay) that showed up were courteous, efficient and professional. Highly recommend this company. The service provided was excellent and they came thru last minute."

"Josh was great to work with. He was detailed and honest. Rene and Joe arrived right on time and worked like a well oiled machine. My wife was not sure that they could get all our stuff in the truck but no problem. Even room to spare. They handled everything with care and no damage. The unloading went quickly and without problems. These guys are pros, so efficient and careful. We will have to move again in a year and they will be my first pick. They made a very stressful time in our lives so much better. Canâ t go wrong with Josh and crew. Highly recommend Josh for your move."

"The Logistics/Organizing: I needed to move items from a studio apartment in the midwest to the east coast. I had a queen sized bed, some shelves, a couch, an arm chair, and about 20 boxes of various sizes. I worked primarily with Joe Kim, who was fabulous from my quote through delivery of items. Joe was extraordinarily knowledgeable, quick to respond to emails, and checked in with me at logical points as I progressed from a quote, to moving day, to the date of delivery of my boxes and furniture. I was extremely anxious about my cross-country move, having heard horror stories about lost and damaged items from colleagues and family members, but my moving process was quick, friendly, and so far, I have not observed any damage to my fragile items (though I am still in the process of unpacking). Joe was reassuring during the entire process. Both Joe and Lori were responsive to concerns and questions that I raised ahead of my furniture pick up regarding scheduling, truck size, and delivery estimates. My quoted estimate wound up being the amount I paidâ no surprise fees. The Move Itself: Delivery itself happened super quickly. Were it not for Labor Day and some freight elevator scheduling woes at my building, this probably would have been a Friday pickup, Monday delivery (it wound up being a Friday-Thursday pickup-delivery). For both loading and delivery, it took a little over an hour from parking the truck to finishing the job. Movers listened to my instructions and acted with care and concern. The teams led by Bladimir and two others (pick up team) and Jorge, Fernando, and Elvin (delivery team) were top notch. I bought plastic wrap and pads to wrap my furniture, but none of that wound up being necessary, as the movers were fully prepared with their own furniture pads and wrappings. I would whole heartedly recommend NVL to anyone considering a small apartment cross-country move, and would engage their services again if the need arose. Thank you to everyone who helped make my move as easy as possible."

Moving Labor Service FAQs

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
