    FAQ's

    Navigating the moving process can bring up many questions, from the logistics of packing to the final details of settling into your new home.

    What does a residential moving company do?

    A residential moving company handles everything from packing and loading to transportation and unloading of household items during a move.

    Do I need to empty my drawers before moving furniture?

    Yes, we recommend emptying drawers to avoid shifting, damage or added weight during the move — especially for dressers and large furniture.

    How long does a residential move usually take?

    Most residential moves are completed within one day, depending on the home size and distance. When we provide your quote, we’ll give you a time estimate.

    Do you move large or fragile furniture?

    Absolutely. Our furniture movers are trained to safely move heavy, bulky, and delicate items using proper equipment and protective materials.

    Can I get a same-day residential move?

    It depends on availability, but we’ll do our best. Contact us to see if we can accommodate you, especially for local, short-distance moves.
