Hiring a moving company can feel like a big step. From costs and services to what to expect on moving day, many people have questions before making the leap. At Above Average Moving, we believe in keeping things simple and transparent. That’s why we’ve put together answers to some of the most common FAQs we hear from our customers.
General Questions
What services do moving companies provide?
Most moving companies offer a range of services designed to make your relocation easier. At Above Average Moving, that includes residential and commercial moves, packing and unpacking, furniture delivery, storage options, and even labor-only help when you just need an extra set of hands.
Are movers licensed and insured?
Yes — and it’s something you should always confirm before hiring. Above Average Moving is fully licensed and insured, giving you peace of mind that your belongings are protected throughout the process.
Cost & Estimates
How do movers determine the cost?
Moving costs are typically based on distance, the size of your move, and any additional services like packing or storage. A local move will be priced differently than a long-distance one, but we always provide clear, upfront estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
Are there hidden fees?
Reputable movers don’t believe in surprises when it comes to billing. With Above Average Moving, what you see in your estimate is what you pay — no hidden charges, just honest pricing.
Packing & Preparation
Will movers pack for me?
Absolutely. Our team can handle packing and unpacking, or we can provide high-quality packing materials if you’d prefer to do it yourself. Many families love the convenience of letting us take care of everything.
What items can’t movers take?
There are a few things that moving companies aren’t able to transport, including hazardous materials like propane tanks, paint, or cleaning chemicals. We’ll walk you through a full list before your move so there are no surprises.
Moving Day Logistics
Do I need to be present on moving day?
Yes. Having someone available ensures that we can access your home, answer questions, and confirm placement of furniture and boxes. Think of it as being the “director” of your move — we’ll handle the heavy lifting while you guide the process.
How long does a typical move take?
Every move is unique, but as a general guideline, a local two- to three-bedroom move often takes about 4–6 hours. Larger homes and long-distance moves will take longer, but we’ll provide a time estimate before your moving day.
After the Move
Will movers help set up furniture in my new home?
Yes. Our crews will place furniture in the rooms you choose, so you don’t have to rearrange heavy pieces after we leave. We’re here to make sure your home feels like home from the start.
Can movers handle long-distance moves?
Yes. Above Average Moving offers both local and long-distance moving services, so whether you’re moving across town or across state lines, we’ve got you covered.
