2. How do you calculate the cost of a move?

The cost of your move is determined by several factors, including

• The total volume or weight of your belongings.

• The distance of the move (local vs. long-distance).

• The number of movers required and the time it takes to complete the job.

• Any additional services requested, such as packing, unpacking, or specialty item handling.

• Accessibility issues, such as stairs, long walkways, or elevator usage.

For a detailed and accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a free, no-obligation consultation.

3. Is Moving Powers licensed and insured?

Yes, we are fully licensed and insured. We carry liability insurance to protect your belongings during the move. Our team is also bonded and trained to handle your possessions with the utmost care.

4. How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking your move as far in advance as possible, especially during peak moving season (late spring through early fall). For a weekend or end-of-the-month move, we suggest booking at least 4-6 weeks out. For a weekday move, 2-3 weeks in advance is often sufficient.

5. What is the difference between a binding and a non-binding estimate?

• Non-Binding Estimate: This is an educated guess based on the information provided. The final cost may be higher or lower depending on the actual time and labor involved.

• Binding Estimate: This is a fixed price for your move. As long as the inventory and services requested do not change, the final price will not exceed the binding estimate. We will provide you with a written estimate explaining which type you are receiving.

6. Can you move plants and pets?

We are happy to move plants, but we cannot be held responsible for their condition during transit due to their sensitivity to temperature and handling. For the safety and comfort of your pets, we highly recommend that you transport them yourself.

7. What items can't you move?

For safety and regulatory reasons, we cannot move hazardous materials, including:

• Ammunition, fireworks, and explosives.

• Flammable liquids, such as gasoline, paint, and paint thinner.

• Propane tanks, aerosols, and other pressurized containers.

• Perishable food items.
  

8. What should I do on moving day?

On moving day, we recommend you:

Be present to answer any questions the movers may have.

Have a "first night" box packed with essentials like toiletries, medications, and chargers.

Ensure all boxes are clearly labeled with their destination room.

Show the movers any items you do not want to be moved.
