Taking a Full DMV Household Out the Door and Setting It Back Up
A house is a different animal from an apartment. There’s a basement holding a decade of stored boxes, a garage or shed packed with seasonal equipment, a front stoop and an interior staircase, and the heirloom pieces that have to arrive without a scratch. Keeping that whole sprawl under control comes down to one thing: we’re a licensed DMV mover with our own trucks and our own payroll crews, so the people blanketing your china answer for it all the way to the new countertop, and no contractor you’ve never met materializes at noon to take over. I started doing this in 2011 and I still walk these jobs myself.
Included in the Service
- Wrapping, loading, transport and unloading, worked through one room at a time
- TVs, art, mirrors and furniture blanket-wrapped and braced for the trip
- Bed frames and oversized pieces taken apart, then reassembled at the new home
- Door-jamb guards and floor runners at the origin and destination alike
- Boxes and furniture carried to whichever room you’ve labeled for them
Running the Day
Your crew chief tours both homes before a single lift and locks in the load order. We fill the truck from the back rooms forward toward the tailgate, which lines the unload up roughly with how you’ll want to tackle the new place. That reverses on arrival: beds go up first, then boxes head to their tagged rooms rather than stacking at the entry. In a storm, we clear and treat the driveway and walks and back the truck in tight so your belongings skip the icy pavement. For a high-rise, the freight elevator is reserved and the building’s certificate of insurance is on file before the date.
Past the Standard House Move
Boxing your cabinets isn’t in the base service unless you add packing, and gas lines and hardwired fixtures stay untouched. We’ll set the washer and dryer in place, but connecting the water and gas at the finish belongs to a licensed technician.
Pricing
Flat pricing starts at $760 for a two-bedroom and $1,080 for a three-bedroom; anything larger gets quoted after a quick walkthrough. Prefer to watch the clock instead of a fixed number? Hourly runs $180/hr for two movers with a two-hour minimum.
