Frequently Asked Questions:
Licensed and professional movers should be equipped with both furniture pads and plastic wrap in order to better protect your furniture items. These supplies may come at an extra charge, make sure to consult with your moving company beforehand so there are no surprise charges on your bill at the end of your move.
Having your moving company pack your items will potentially incur a higher hourly rate, ranging from $20 to $40 per hour. There will also be additional charges for materials and supplies used when packing your items, such as boxes, tape, furniture wrap, etc. On average, it costs between $600-$1000 for a complete pack and move of a one bedroom apartment.
On average, two licensed and professional movers equipped with hand dollies and other necessary tools can load a 10ft truck in 1-1.5 hours, a 16 ft truck in 2-2.5 hours, a 24ft truck in 4-4.5 hours and a full 26ft box truck in 5-5.5 hours. Please keep in mind these numbers are a rough approximation and can change based on variable such as stairs, access points, weight of items, etc. Visit our blog to see what moving truck size is right for your move at https://www.apartmentmovingservices.com/what-size-truck-or-trailer-do-you-need-for-your-move/
Plastic totes can be useful for moving as they are usually more stable and easily stack-able when compared to traditional cardboard boxes. Be careful when packing plastic totes as too much weight can make these totes hard to move and susceptible to damage.
Any self-assembly dressers, nightstands, and other other furniture items with drawers should be completely emptied and removed from the item prior to moving. These furniture items are usually made of particleboard and are rather easy to break. If your dresser appears more durable, all items except clothing should be removed. Excessive clothing should also be removed to ensure the integrity of the drawer.
Large furniture items, appliances, and other household goods that cannot fit in a box should be padded and wrapped by your moving company for transport. As a rule of thumb, anything that can fit in a box should be packed in one to ensure proper protection and loading. However, there are items that may be difficult or tricky to pack. Consult with your moving team beforehand to make sure they have the proper supplies in order to transport any tricky items.
Some items your movers may not take include any hazardous material or waste. Examples include gasoline, propane, fertilizer, oils, pool cleaners, and other chemicals. Your movers may also not be able to take anything liquid or that contains dirt, such as water dispensers or live plants, as they pose an extra liability for other materials in the trailer during transport if they were to spill.
Yes, your moving company should have all tools necessary for disassembly of beds and other furniture items. Items such as your bed frame, tables, mirrors, doors, or couch legs may need to be removed or disassembled in order to move safely. Washer, dryers, and refrigerators may also require basic tools to disconnect and reconnect. Your moving team should have all of these tools on their truck on the day of your move.
A full service move is a move in which your moving company will pack, label, load, unload, and unpack all of your belongings while also transporting them between locations. In a normal move you will be responsible for the packing and unpacking while your movers will only handle the loading, transport, and unloading of your items.
If you are worried about time, how labor intensive moving can be, damage to your furniture items, and the stress that can come along with moving, it may be in your best interest to hire a professional moving company. Professional movers can make the moving process safer, quicker, and much more streamlined.
There are many variables that will decide how long your total move time takes. Some of these include the presence and amount of stairs, how furnished your apartment is, access points to your apartment, etc. For 2 bedroom apartments with no stairs, lightly furnished, and a close access point we find the average time to be between 2-4 hours. For 2 bedroom apartments with excessive stairs, heavily furnished, and a far access point we find the average total move time to be between 4-6 hours.
Small moves range from moving just a couple of items to a one bedroom apartment or studio, between 500-850 square feet. Small moves will usually only consists of of one bed, limited apartment furniture, and between 10-20 boxes that can all fit comfortably within a small moving truck.
When moving items from one apartment to another first you should inspect your old apartment for damages to repair and read the lease for your new apartment. Begin looking for a reputable and licensed moving company in your area while disposing of or donating unwanted items. Start buying packing supplies and begin the process of packing non-essential items first. Make sure to clean your old apartment and coordinate with your movers on where to park and what time to show up.
