Question 1

What's the size of the move — studio, 2-bedroom, or house?

Accepted Answer

Moving costs scale with volume. A studio takes 2–3 hours with a small crew; a 3-bedroom house may need a full day and a larger truck. Give the movers a room count and any large items upfront.

Question 2

Are there stairs, narrow hallways, or long carries?

Accepted Answer

Walk-up apartments, tight stairwells, and long distances from the door to the truck all add time and may incur surcharges. Mention these before the quote so there are no surprises.

Question 3

Do you need packing, or just loading and transport?

Accepted Answer

Full-service packing costs significantly more but saves you days of work. Most movers also offer partial packing for fragile or specialty items only — ask about tiers.

Question 4

Are there items movers won't take?

Accepted Answer

Hazardous materials (paint, propane, cleaning chemicals), perishable food, and sometimes plants are excluded. Large safes or pianos may require specialty movers. Ask about exclusions before moving day.

Question 5

Is there parking and elevator access at both locations?

Accepted Answer

If movers need to double-park or wait for a freight elevator, it adds time. Reserve parking spots or elevator time in advance and share the details with your movers to keep the schedule on track.
