Residential Moving FAQs

How far in advance should you book? Most families book 1–2 weeks ahead. Do you move apartments and homes? Yes, we handle everything from studios to large homes.

Have More Questions?

Swing sets and small trampolines yes (disassembled). Hot tubs, large playsets, or pools need special equipment—we’ll be upfront if we can’t handle it safely.

Most 3-beds need 3 movers + truck (6-8 hours). 2-bed houses/apartments usually 2 movers (4-6 hours). We recommend based on your inventory and access.

Yes—in some situations, our residential movers can help with basic disconnect/reconnect for a washer, dryer, or refrigerator as a convenience during your move. However, we are not licensed plumbers, electricians, or appliance installers, so there are limits for safety, code compliance, and liability.

What we can usually help with

Washer (typical)

  • Basic water hose disconnect/reconnect (hot/cold) when the shutoff valves are accessible and working
  • Drain hose placement back into the standpipe (standard setup)
  • Careful placement/leveling (basic) once in the new location

Dryer (electric)

  • Unplug/replug
  • Move + position
  • Reconnect a standard vent tube if it’s a simple, visible, clamp-style connection and the parts are in good condition

Refrigerator

  • Unplug/replug
  • Move + position
  • Doors/handles: in some cases, we can remove/reattach if needed for tight doorways (case-by-case)

What we will not do (common exceptions)

For safety and liability, we typically will not:

  • Disconnect/reconnect gas dryers (gas = licensed pro)
  • Modify plumbing, valves, or fittings (no cutting, soldering, new lines, new shutoffs)
  • Install/modify a refrigerator water line (especially if it requires tools or new parts, or you’re unsure where the shutoff is)
  • Diagnose leaks, electrical issues, or venting/code problems
  • Move appliances that are still full of water/ice or not properly prepped

Important: Appliance Liability Waiver

If you want our movers to assist with appliance disconnect/reconnect, you’ll be asked to sign our Appliance Liability Waiver confirming:

  • You understand this is courtesy assistance, not a licensed installation service
  • You accept the risk of leaks, fitting failures, valve issues, and pre-existing wear
  • You agree that any appliance hookups are your responsibility to monitor/test after the move

Read the waiver here: Appliance Liability Waiver

Replace {{WAIVER_URL}} with your real root-relative link (example: /appliance-liability-waiver/).

How to prepare (so it goes smoothly)

Before moving day, please:

  • Empty + dry the washer (run a short drain/spin if needed)
  • Defrost the refrigerator (if applicable) and remove water/ice
  • Make sure shutoff valves are accessible (not blocked by storage)
  • Have any needed parts ready (new hoses, new vent tube, new clamps) if yours are worn
  • At the new home, confirm:
    • Correct outlet types (dryer outlet, especially)
    • Working shutoff valves
    • Proper vent access (for dryers)

After reconnecting: what you should do

Right after the move:

  • Run a quick test cycle on the washer and check for drips
  • Check behind the refrigerator (if it has a water line) for slow leaks
  • Verify the dryer vent is secure, and the airflow feels normal

If you want the safest option

If your setup involves gas, tight/hidden plumbing, hard-to-reach shutoffs, or a full code-compliant installation, we recommend hiring a licensed appliance installer/plumber/electrician.

Full furniture pads + stretch wrap for protection. Sofas, mattresses, tables all get padded first, then wrapped. No “just shrink wrap” that scratches surfaces underneath.

We quote extra time upfront for stairs. Our guys take multiple trips and use proper lifting—no rushing that causes damage. Walk-throughs help us plan stair moves accurately.

Our 2-3 man crews use furniture pads, door jamb protectors, and proper lifting techniques for king beds, dressers, and sectionals. We never drag furniture—we carry it.
