House Moving

Whole-home moves handled room by room, from the basement to the garage.

What we do

A house holds more than anyone expects. The rooms you think about get packed first, and then there is the basement, the garage, the shed and the crawlspace.

We plan whole-home moves around that reality. Before moving day we walk through the house - in person or over video - so the truck, the crew and the hours are sized for everything you own, not just the furniture on the main floor.

On the day, we work room by room with a labelled loading system, so unpacking on the other end follows the same order instead of turning into a scavenger hunt.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does moving a whole house take?

A three-bedroom home is usually a full day, roughly 6-9 hours locally. Larger homes, long carries or a second address can push it into a second day, which we tell you in advance.

Do you move appliances?

Yes - fridges, washers, dryers, stoves and freezers. Disconnecting gas and water lines needs a licensed trade, so have that done before we arrive.

Can you take away what we are not keeping?

Yes. Add junk removal to the same booking and we clear the leftovers when the truck is loaded, so you hand over an empty house.

What if closing dates do not line up?

We can load, hold your belongings overnight or across a gap, and deliver on your possession date. Tell us the dates when you book so we reserve the truck.
