How a move with us goes.

It is the same four steps whether you are moving a studio across the street or an office across the river.

  1. Call or send the form

    Give us both addresses, the date, how many rooms you have and anything heavy, like a piano or a safe. If the move is today, call. Same-day moves happen when there is an open slot.

  2. Pick the crew size

    Local moves are billed by the hour, and the rate depends on how many movers you need. We tell you up front about anything extra, like stairs above the third floor, a long carry or a very heavy piece.

  3. We wrap and load

    The crew wraps furniture before it leaves the apartment, takes apart what has to come apart, and loads the truck. If you want us to pack, we bring boxes and materials.

  4. We unload and set up

    Furniture goes where you want it, beds and tables are put back together, and if you booked unpacking, we unpack too.

Moving soon? Tell us the date and we'll tell you the crew.
