General Questions About Moving
How far in advance should I schedule my move?
For local moves in Hillsboro and surrounding areas, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance. For moves requiring specialized services like piano, safe, or hot tub moving, scheduling 4–6 weeks ahead ensures availability.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. All moves include our standard moving insurance coverage. Additional coverage is available for high-value or fragile items upon request.

Costs vary based on services requested, the size and weight of your items, distance, and access challenges. We provide transparent, upfront estimates before the move.
Do you handle both residential and commercial moves?
Yes. We provide moving services for homes, apartments, condos, offices, and commercial spaces of all sizes.
