Questions
How far in advance should I schedule my move?
We recommend scheduling at least one month in advance, with 7-14 business days minimum. Peak seasons require earlier booking to secure preferred dates.
What factors affect moving costs?
Costs depend on home size, distance traveled, third-party services, and storage needs. Local moves use hourly rates while long-distance pricing considers shipment weight and delivery distance.
How does the virtual survey work?
Record a video of your home on your phone to provide space details. Our team reviews the footage to create accurate service plans and pricing estimates without requiring in-person visits.
What happens if my delivery is delayed?
Delays from weather, vehicle issues, or unexpected events are rare. Our coordinators provide updated timelines and maintain communication if any delivery window changes occur during transit.
Can I pack items myself?
Yes, you may pack personal items while we handle fragile or valuable possessions. We provide packing materials and guidance to ensure proper protection for self-packed boxes.
Do you offer storage solutions?
We provide short-term and long-term storage options at secure facilities. Climate-controlled units protect belongings during transitional periods like home closings or construction delays.
