Moving costs vary based on several factors including the size of your home, distance of the move, time of year, and specific services required. For local moves on or to Camano Island, pricing typically ranges from $150-$200 per hour for a two-person crew with a truck, with most local moves taking 3-8 hours depending on home size. Long-distance moves are priced based on weight and distance.

We provide free, no-obligation estimates that give you a clear understanding of costs upfront. Your Certified Moving Consultant will conduct a thorough assessment (either in-home or virtually) to provide an accurate quote with no hidden fees. Factors that affect pricing include the amount of furniture, stairs or difficult access, packing services needed, and any specialty items requiring special handling. We recommend scheduling your free estimate to get an exact price tailored to your specific situation.

We recommend booking your move at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially during peak moving season (May through September) when demand is highest. However, we understand that sometimes moves happen quickly, and we always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible.

For long-distance or international moves, we suggest booking 8-12 weeks ahead to ensure optimal scheduling and coordination. If you’re moving during the summer months or around the first and last days of the month (which are typically the busiest), booking even earlier ensures you get your preferred dates. 

We offer comprehensive packing solutions to fit every need and budget. We sell high-quality packing materials including various sized boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape, and specialty containers for items like wardrobe boxes, dish packs, and mirror/picture boxes. You can purchase these materials in advance to pack yourself, or we can bring them on moving day if you’ve opted for our professional packing services.

Yes, your belongings are protected during your move. As a licensed and professional moving company, we provide basic valuation coverage (also called “released value protection”) at no additional charge. For more comprehensive protection, we strongly recommend Full Value Protection, which provides coverage where we’re responsible for the replacement value or repair of lost or damaged items.

Proper preparation makes for a smoother, more efficient move. We provide a detailed moving checklist to all our customers, but here are key steps:

• If you’re packing yourself, complete all packing before moving day and clearly label boxes with contents and destination rooms.
• Disassemble furniture that needs to be taken apart (or let us know if you’d like our crew to handle this).
• Ensure clear pathways from rooms to the truck by removing obstacles, pets, and children from the work area.
• Set aside essentials like medications, important documents, valuables, and items you’ll need immediately in your new home. These should travel with you personally.

On Camano Island specifically, ensure there’s adequate parking for our moving truck near your home. If you live on a narrow road or in a community with parking restrictions, let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly. Have arrangements made for pets, as they can become stressed during the moving process. Confirm that utilities will remain on at your old home through moving day and will be active at your new home when we arrive.

Finally, plan to be present throughout the move to answer questions and provide direction. Our team will handle the heavy lifting—you just need to point us in the right direction!
