STATE-TO-STATE
MOVING COMPANY

The ideal timeframe for planning and scheduling a move can vary depending on several factors such as the size of your move, the distance, and the time of year. However, a general rule of thumb is to start planning and scheduling your move at least 6-8 weeks in advance. This allows you enough time to research moving companies, obtain quotes, organize your belongings, and handle any other logistical aspects of the move.

For cross-country moves or moves during peak moving seasons (typically summer months), you may want to extend this timeframe to ensure you secure your preferred moving dates and avoid any last-minute hassles. It’s always better to plan ahead and have ample time to address any unforeseen issues that may arise during the moving process.

When our team arrives at your house on the scheduled moving day, we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible for you. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Introduction and Walkthrough: Our team will introduce themselves and conduct a walkthrough of your home to assess the items that need to be moved. This helps us understand the scope of the job and plan the logistics accordingly.
2. Protective Measures: We take steps to protect your home and belongings. This may include laying down protective coverings on floors and banisters, as well as using padding or shrink wrap to safeguard furniture and delicate items.
3. Loading: Our movers will carefully and efficiently load your belongings onto the moving truck. We utilize proper lifting techniques and equipment to ensure the safety of both your items and our team members.
4. Transportation: Once everything is loaded securely, we’ll transport your belongings to your new residence. Our drivers are experienced and take utmost care during transit to minimize the risk of damage.
5. Unloading and Placement: Upon arrival at your new home, our team will unload your belongings and place them in their designated rooms as per your instructions. We’re happy to assist with furniture assembly and arrangement if needed.
6. Final Walkthrough: Before we wrap up, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything has been delivered and placed according to your satisfaction. If there are any concerns or additional requests, we’re here to address them.

Throughout the entire process, our goal is to provide you with a stress-free and seamless moving experience. If you have any questions or special requests, don’t hesitate to let us know – we’re here to help.

Absolutely! Ensuring the safety of your furniture is one of our top priorities. When our team arrives at your home, we come prepared with the necessary materials to wrap and protect your furniture during the move. Here’s how we typically handle this:

1. Padding and Wrapping: We use furniture pads, blankets, and shrink wrap to protect your furniture from scratches, dings, and other damage during transit. Each piece of furniture is carefully wrapped to provide an extra layer of protection.
2. Specialized Protection for Delicate Items: For particularly delicate or fragile furniture items such as glass tabletops or antique pieces, we take extra precautions. We may use additional padding, foam, or custom crating to ensure their safety, there could be additional charges for these services.
3. Secure Loading and Transportation: Once your furniture is properly wrapped and protected, our team will load it onto the moving truck using techniques designed to prevent shifting and minimize the risk of damage during transportation.
4. Unwrapping and Placement: Upon arrival at your new home, we’ll carefully unwrap and place your furniture in its designated location according to your instructions. If you have any specific preferences for placement, just let us know, and we’ll be happy to accommodate them.

By taking these steps to wrap and protect your furniture, we aim to give you peace of mind knowing that your belongings are in good hands throughout the moving process. If you have any special concerns or requests regarding the protection of specific items, feel free to discuss them with our team, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.

1. Hazardous Materials: This includes items such as gasoline, propane tanks, paint, chemicals, explosives, and other flammable or combustible materials. For safety reasons, we are unable to transport these items.
2. Perishable Goods: Items like food, plants, and animals are generally not suitable for transportation over long distances or extended periods. It’s best to make alternative arrangements for these items.
3. Valuables and Important Documents: While we can transport most of your belongings, we recommend keeping valuable items such as jewelry, cash, passports, and important documents with you during the move for security reasons.
4. Illegal Items: We cannot transport any items that are illegal or prohibited by law in the areas where we operate.
5. Extremely Fragile Items: While we take precautions to protect your belongings, extremely fragile items may be at risk of damage during transit. It’s a good idea to discuss any particularly delicate items with us beforehand to determine the best course of action.

1. You (the Customer): While it’s not required for you to be present for the entire move, having someone available to answer questions, provide instructions, and oversee the process can be beneficial. You may also want to be present during the initial walkthrough and when your belongings are being unloaded at your new home.
2. A Responsible Adult: If you’re unable to be present during the move, it’s advisable to designate a responsible adult to represent you. This could be a family member, friend, or trusted neighbor who can be available to answer questions and make decisions on your behalf.
3. Building Management or Landlord: If you’re moving out of or into a rental property or apartment building, it may be necessary to coordinate with the building management or landlord. They may need to provide access, reserve parking, or address any building-specific requirements.
4. Pet Caretaker: If you have pets, it’s essential to make arrangements for their care during the move. Consider having someone available to care for your pets in a safe and comfortable environment away from the moving activity.
5. Children: If you have children, it’s a good idea to plan for their care during the move. Moving can be a busy and potentially hazardous time, so having a trusted caregiver or arranging for childcare can help ensure their safety and well-being.
