Top Rated Seattle Movers

Seattle movers typically offer a comprehensive moving day service, which includes moving your belongings out of your current location, loading a moving truck, driving the moving truck to your new location, and unloading your belongings into the new home, office, or apartment.
Sometimes, Seattle movers also offer labor-only services. If you have rented your moving truck, need to unload a POD, or are moving to Seattle from out-of-state, this is a great way to get efficient moving help without paying extra for the truck.

Finally, some Seattle movers offer add-on services like packing help ahead of your moving day and delivery of moving materials like boxes, bubble wrap, and tape.

As you research different Seattle movers, look at their service offerings to determine whether they can meet your unique needs.

Yes, moving furniture is one of the best ways a Seattle moving company expedites your moving experience. Furniture can be difficult to move due to size, shape, or weight. For example, king-size mattresses, sectionals, and large appliances are notoriously difficult to move — especially through apartments, townhomes, or other smaller spaces. Attempting to move bulky furniture on your own may increase your risk of injury or the risk of damaging the furniture. Letting experienced moving professionals handle furniture is the best way to guarantee your items arrive safely at your new home.

One of the best things you can do when selecting a Seattle mover is to look at their customer reviews. This is a great way to determine their reputation and get a feel for what you can expect on moving day.

Once you’ve narrowed your options to only those movers with superior reviews, look at their services: do they offer the type of service you need? For example, are they skilled in apartment moving or corporate moves? Do they offer lower rates for labor-only moving services?

Finally, look at their moving rates and be sure you understand what goes into that advertised rate. For example, at Adam’s Moving Service, we include moving insurance at no extra cost in our moving rates, but some Seattle movers tack on insurance and other fees to their moving rates. When you receive a quote, clarify what the quote does — and doesn’t — cover so you can accurately budget for your moving day.

The length of your move depends on several factors. These include the size of your current home or office, the number of belongings you need to move, the complexity or weight of your belongings, the distance between your current and future locations, and the day and time of your move. Expect at least 3 to 4 hours for basic moves within the Seattle area. For more complex moves from larger homes or offices, 6 to 10 hours is common.

Some Seattle moving companies provide packing materials; be sure to check with your movers on whether or not they will provide boxes, packing peanuts, shrink wrap, or other packing necessities. Many professional movers, like those at Adam’s Moving Service, shrinkwrap furniture to prevent scuffs or scratches during the loading and unloading process. If maintaining the quality of your furniture is important to you, be sure to hire a Seattle moving company that takes extra steps (like shrinkwrapping) to protect your belongings.
