A local move is a move that takes place within a 100-mile radius and stays within the state of origin. Many factors determine the cost of a local move. Luckily, many of those factors are within your control. For example, how ready are you when the movers arrive? Are all your belongings packed in boxes? Can the truck park close to your home? Any hard to move items? How much packing, unpacking and furniture placement would you like the movers to do for you?
The more information you provide your mover prior to your move date, the better your chances are of having a smooth move within your budget. We are one of the top full-service movers in the United States.
You can walk out the door, leave the breakfast dishes on the table and we can take it from there. Or, you can have all your belongings packed in boxes and stacked by your front door and we can simply load them on the truck for you and unload them in your new home. Based on all the above information, we can determine the right number of professional movers to get the job done just the way you want it.
