Common questions
How much will my move cost?
It depends on how much you're moving, how far, and how much packing you want done. Local moves are usually priced by time and long-distance moves by weight and distance. The estimate is free, so call for a number that fits your move.
Do you move pianos?
Yes. Piano moving is one of our specialties.
Can you store my things between homes?
Yes. We offer storage for the gap between moves, and for the long term.
Do you move businesses?
Yes. We handle offices, commercial goods and record storage, and we have worked with institutions including Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
Can you do an urgent move?
Often, yes. We offer flexible scheduling and same-day service when crews are available. Call the office to check.
Do you move overseas?
Yes. We provide service to 100 foreign countries and can help with customs clearance.
