Finding & Comparing Quotes from Local Movers with Moving Explorer is Easy!

Residential moving companies specialize in moving houses and apartments and can be divided into two categories: interstate and local.

Most residential moving companies offer both local and interstate services and calculate their charges based on the volume of your move and the services required such as packing labor, packing supplies, hoisting, piano handling, and multiple pick-up and drop-off locations. The main difference between the two services is that charges for local moving projects are calculated by the hour and based on the number of movers and trucks used in moving your property and additional services while interstate moving projects are based on the weight of your inventory, the distance traveled and any additional services you might require.

If your goods are estimated to be over 8,400 pounds and or 1,200 cubic feet, we highly recommend you to set up an in-home moving estimate with your moving company prior to signing a contract. Make sure the moving company's contract proposal includes all the necessary services required for your move and make sure that you will receive a binding moving cost, which guarantees that their estimate will not increase after a contract is signed.
