Baby Grand Piano , Gun Safe, Antiques, Hot Tubs, Pool Tables, Side by side refrigerators & Oversized Furniture. Some of the moving companies charge extra for all of the above pieces.
We don't believe in extra fees for unique pieces of furniture, that should be covered in your hourly rate. So beware of those crazy fees.

Best Moving Companies in Phoenix,AZ


Looking for the Best Moving Company in the Valley

In previous blogs, we talked about why you may need to hire a professional moving company and why its a smart choice. Specifically, what types of questions to ask your movers to ensure you're working with the best moving company in your area. I'm going to help you make a great choice for you on your moving day.

Question 1: How long has the moving company been in business?
This question will give you an idea of their expertise and track record. It’s important to hire a moving company that has been in the business more than a year and knows how to deal with all sorts of furniture. Such as oversize furniture, high end furniture, antiques, baby grand pianos, pool tables, gun safes, hot tubs and any of your packing needs.

Question 2: Can they provide client testimonials?
Testimonials and reviews are a great way to evaluate a business. A company that can’t provide any positive reviews, referrals, either online or on paper, is a company you should be wary of.
See our Testimonials:  http://my-testimonials.com/JonesMoving/3XRHG
Question 3: Are they licensed?
All licensed moving companies that travel long distance should have a US DOT number which is issued by the Department of Transportation.  This shows that they’re a reputable moving company.
Here is our US DOT # 1851753
Question 4: Are they Insured?
Knowing that your moving company is insured will give you a peace of mind. Not only should your moving company have truck insurance, they should have a general liability policy to cover any property damage, both of these policy are extremely important to have. Keep in mind the state only requires moving companies to carry .60 cents per pound per article. Your movers should offer you some sort of moving insurance with a third party for extra coverage. Here is information on a third party company http://movinginsurance.com

While there are other considerations to take in account, these four questions are the most important.
They will give you an good idea about the companies reputation and character. Hiring a moving company that you feel confident in and can trust to handle your most precious belongings is absolutely crucial. Don't settle for a company that's cheap. Spend a little extra for a company that you can be sure to get the job done right with no damages.

Cheap Moving Companies in Phoenix,AZ


Things you need to know when looking for Movers!

There are many options when you start searching for a local moving company or long distance movers. So your question is how do I know where to start to find a good, dependable, reasonable priced mover.
Well, there are three categories of moving companies. I'm going to set your mind at ease ,by giving you some important information.

Cheap Movers: 
Looking for a cheap local movers, here is what you need to know and need to ask yourself or the movers. If you are hiring a Moving Company that is charging $35.00 per hour for 2-men or $49.99 per hour for 3-men, it usually too good to be true.
They usually charge extra fee’s which always ends up costing more money in the end. If you do the math for the labor, truck fee, gas and insurance, there wouldn’t be enough money for that company to stay in business.
So many if these companies charge extra for stairs, heavy items, Shrink wrap, fuel charges, mileage and many more that could end up costing more ,than if you would have went with a reparable professional moving company.
When hiring a Licensed Professional Moving Company you will pay less in the end. They usually get done a lot faster with no damages.
They usually don’t have a truck and you would need to rent a truck for them to move you. 
  Most of the companies are not on Google Maps or Yelp and Some of these companies on Craigslist have changed their name, due to bad reviews.
Cheap Long Distance Movers: There are a lot of moving companies that say they do long distance moves , but in realty they usually sub it out to a third party company. When the third party gets there they can change the price since you didn't ever talk with them about your move. Which will put you in a big bind ,since you need to move on short notice. So you need to ask the company doing your move, will your company be the ones moving me or another company. Also, Ask them to email the  quote so you have something to go by when the movers show on loading day.

Mid Price Movers & Family Owned:
Most mid price movers are family owned or individually owned and they take great pride in there business. These company want to keep a good reputation in the community and are licensed and insured to protect you and them self. They will provide the truck, tools, dollies, pads, experienced movers with background checks. They usually don't have hidden charges for stairs, heavy items, mileage fee, tape & etc..
Average rates are 2-men @ $65.00 per hour and 3-men @ $100.00 per hour + travel time
On the onsite estimate you will usually get one of the owners that would do your estimate which is good ,because they have knowledge in what it take to do the move.
Long distance moves: Some companies do work with the third party companies so do your homework.
The Owner of our company does all of our long distance moves and he has been in this business for over 30yrs. He loves his job and it show with all his happy customers.

Van line Moving company & Franchise Movers:
The Big companies and franchise company are usually high by the hour for local moves due to the large overhead, such as salesmen and office staff that helps ran the company and high pay scales and health plans. For the most part the movers have to get certified by getting trained by there own training team. The estimators are salesmen and have never even done a local or long distance job. They are usually high pressure salesman  for the customer to book on the spot.
Long distance moves are done by owner operators, which usually have to contract help at either end for loading and unloading.  The driver is paid a flat rate and they have to pay there own labor and expenses.

With all of the information you will need to check on your movers at the BBB for reviews that will make you feel comfortable and trustworthy to choice the right company for you.

Bonus is that will save your back and Not have to worry about asking friends or family to help with your move. Downside, doing it yourself you will need to worry about renting a truck, paying for gas, mileage and insurance for that truck. Not to mention the equipment you will need to moving your furniture and protect everything as well. There is a higher risk of you ,your friends, or family from damaging your furniture that you care so much for.  
  • Reservation , If your moving from a high rise building you may need to contact the building manager to reserve the elevator for your move in or out. Some High rise building will need General Liability insurance by the moving company. We have that policy for any of the buildings in the valley.
  • Dresser & Chest  when hiring professional movers they should tell you to keep everything in your dresser drawers and take any valuable & breakable out to move them. Professional movers will have pads and big rubber bands to keep the drawers from opening. If they use tape they are wasting your money and time. If your moving yourself , You could use tape, because most likely will not have rubber band to keep them closed.
  • Disassembling of Beds, Desk and Dismounting TV's get baggies for the hardware of beds, desk and anything that may need to taken apart and label them so you will know where they go to.

  • Take Pictures of both places. When renting its important to make a list of items you notice that are damaged or not working and give them to the manager for your protection. Pictures will help you when moving out to remember if the damages where there or not.
  • Local Moving hours for apartment moves. These hours can be more or less depending on  your location from and to, stairs, long walks, elevator or how ready you are to move. 1-bed apartment 1st floor to 1st floor usually takes about 2hrs , 2-bedroom apartment 1st to 1st floor usually takes about 2-3hrs, When there are stairs it can take about 1hr longer.
