There are many “moving companies” that will handle your belongings with no insurance coverage to protect your family and property. Hiring an illegal mover puts you at major risk of permanently losing or damaging your property, with zero compensation. If your things are damaged, lost, or even held captive until you pay more money to get it all back, you are the unfortunate one that suffers. Not them.

What is Considered a Local Move?
Local moving is a a move that takes place within a specific geographical area, usually within 50-100 miles of the original location. Local moves can be residential or commercial and can involve moving anything from a small downtown apartment to a large office building.

What is commercial moving?
Commercial moving refers to the process of relocating a business, office, or organization from one location to another. Most of the times, a commercial move is more complex than a residential move and requires a more careful and customized plan. Commercial moves can include the relocation of things like office furniture, computer hardware, machinery, restaurant equipment, and anything else pertaining to the goods and property of a business.
The busiest times for moving companies are typically during the summer months, May-September.
If you are planning a move during that time you should make arrangements early.
Friday and Saturdays are big moving days so if you have flexibility in your schedule it can
be easier to get a date during the week rather than a weekend.
On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly.
