Moving questions,
answered straight.

One all-inclusive hourly rate. It covers the truck, fuel, blankets, shrink wrap, tape, furniture disassembly and reassembly, stairs, long carries, floor protection, wardrobe boxes on move day, and travel time. There is no separate charge for any of those.

No. The same rate applies every day of the week. Plenty of movers quote a low weekday number and add a surcharge for Saturdays — we don't.

Packing materials if you want us to pack your home for you, and specialty items such as a piano or a gun safe. We'll tell you before you book, not after.

It's already in the hourly rate rather than added as a separate line.

Usually yes, for a straightforward local move. For larger homes, difficult access, or commercial jobs we'd rather do a free on-site or video estimate — a guess that turns out wrong helps nobody.

Often because the cheap quote isn't the whole price. Ask any mover whether stairs, long carries, materials, assembly and travel time are included, and whether the company doing the work is the company you're signing with. Comparing all-in numbers is the only fair comparison.

One to two weeks is comfortable for a local move. Weekends and the last week of the month fill first. Commercial and office moves want two weeks minimum, and a month for larger or after-hours jobs.

Often, yes. Call and ask — we've rescued plenty of moves at short notice, including people whose original mover cancelled on them the morning of.

We call you back, usually within the hour during business hours. We'll ask about access, parking, stairs and anything fragile, then confirm the crew size, the truck and the rate before you commit to anything.

Mia does, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Pacific. Not a call centre, not an AI. If you call outside those hours, leave a message and you'll get a call back.

Either. We can pack the whole home, or just the rooms you'd rather not do — the kitchen and the fragile items are our most popular partial pack, because those are the slowest and riskiest to do yourself.

A homeowner packing a three-bedroom home properly takes roughly 20 to 30 hours. A two-person crew does the same house in six to eight. Most people have never estimated the number, which is why packing is what they most often underestimate.

No. If we're packing, boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, dish barrels and wardrobe boxes come with the crew and are included in the service.

Usually the day before the move, so move day starts with loading rather than scrambling. Smaller partial packs can happen the same morning. It's scheduled during your estimate.

Usually not for a local move — most dressers travel as they are. We'll tell you at the estimate if yours is an exception.

Our own crew, in our own truck. Everyone who walks into your home is a background-checked full-time employee. We are not a broker and we do not subcontract or use day labor.

Ask us and we'll send one. Most Bellevue and downtown Seattle towers require a COI naming the building, and many also require you to reserve the freight elevator days ahead — that reservation is the single most common cause of a delayed move day, so sort it early.

In-city moves often need a temporary no-parking permit from SDOT, and those take a few business days to issue. Worth arranging the same week you book.

Federal and state rules keep hazardous materials off the truck: propane tanks, gasoline, motor oil, paint and solvents, aerosols, pool chemicals, fire extinguishers and ammunition. Perishable food can't travel either. Keep passports, jewelry, cash, keys and irreplaceable documents with you personally.

Tell us what you have when you book. Specialty items need the right equipment and the right number of people, and both need to be planned rather than discovered on the day.

Yes. WA UTC THG070086 for household goods moves within Washington, and USDOT 3666304 / MC 1562374 for interstate authority. Washington requires a permit to move household goods, and the register is public.

Look it up at utc.wa.gov before you book — ours included, and every other mover you're considering. Two things worth checking: does the licence number match the name on the contract, and did the company recently get new numbers. A mover that changed its name and started fresh numbers has reset its complaint history, which is usually the point.

Yes, with full commercial cargo and liability coverage. We'll provide a certificate of insurance for your building on request.

Yes. We changed the name in 2026 — same family, same crews, same phone number, same address and the same licence numbers. Nothing else changed.
