Household Moving Services

Household moving is the right time to hire a residential moving company for near or far relocation. Whether you are planning a local residential move or a long-distance relocation, our team is ready to help with all your household moving service needs. Let’s take a closer look at local and long-distance moving services.

Local Residential Movers

Local residential moves typically involve moving from one home to another within the same state and often within the same city. In a local residential move, you tend to have more flexibility in your plans, as the new house is just down the road. Local residential moving services include packing, transport, local storage, and often assistance with furniture and leftover debris.

Of course, a local move in California could include hundreds of miles up or down our vertical state. If your local move is starting to look long distance, we are prepared to accommodate you.

Long Distance Residential Movers

Long-distance moving can be a stressful experience under any circumstances. But a full-service moving team will know how to make your transition to a new city or state as easy as possible. Stay in touch with your moving team, and don’t be shy about asking for extra services like furniture packing or on-site unpacking. A long-distance move can be tough, and we can help you lighten the load – literally and figuratively.

Getting a Residential Moving Quote

How do you get a quote for a residential moving company? Just ask. Then your moving company will likely ask for a virtual home tour. The virtual tour will give the movers a sense of how large your home is and how many items there will be to pack up or carry out per room.

Once your video tour is complete, you should receive your moving quote on the same day or within the next few days. If you require specific moving services not typically included in your basic routine, ask! We will review services with you to meet your needs. These will be included in your estimate for a clear idea of what to expect from your residential moving company.

Start Planning Your Residential Move

If you are starting to plan your residential move, there are some very important factors to consider. For those who haven’t moved in a while (or are new to the housing game), join us as we dive into a quick residential move planning checklist that may help you get organized on time for the move.

What You Can Pack

First, determine what you can pack DIY and (if any) what you can’t pack. Many people hire a packing service just for fragile items or furniture, as these are the hardest to pack correctly when DIY moving.

Deep Cleaning the House

Once everything is packed up, it is time to clean. You can go into your own cleaning frenzy or hire a team of cleaning professionals to help you get into every corner with a toothbrush to ensure a pristine home for the new resident.

Taking Care of Fragile and Specialty Items

It is always important to plan for items that cannot go onto the truck or might be especially fragile. Make plans for your glassware and electronics and specialty items like musical instruments, electric equipment, or fish tanks.

Marking What to Trash or Donate

Almost every move winds up with two piles, “Donate” and “Toss,” but those moving often aren’t sure what to do with the rubbish. We have ensured that you will have a place for the trash to go with our debris removal service.

What Needs to be Stored

You can also decide what needs to go into personal storage. Furniture that is too big for the house and accessories you don’t want to bring along can be stored in a Storage Vault by your residential moving company. Storage makes it easy to have furniture and other gems when and where you need them without cluttering up your new home with items that don’t have a place yet.

How to Arrive Safely

Lastly, make plans to arrive at your destination safely. Plan your trip, keep in touch with movers, and don’t forget to have your car checked out before driving across the country on a long-distance residential moving road trip.
