FAQ's

Home2Home Moving has been around since 2018 and we continue to provide top-notch service at affordable prices.

No and no. All our movers are our employees. We vet each for professionalism, reliability, and trustworthiness. So when you hire us, you know you’re getting quality service.

As we work on a first come, first serve basis the earlier you can book your move the better your chances that we will be available. We generally recommend booking at least one month in advance. With that said, we have worked with people who needed to move within a week or even a day so it’s always a good idea to fill out our online form to get a Free Quote . We will get back to you as soon as possible to let you know if we can help or not.

Bad weather can affect the delivery window as roads might be blocked in severe weather conditions. For everything else, weather should not affect your move.

A full-service move is just what it sounds like. You get everything from packing to disassembling to the actual moving. Naturally, this will cost you more as the movers have to spend more time doing everything for you! However, if you don’t have the time to pack yourself and you have the money, it’s a great option as you’ll know everything is being packed properly.

There’s a lot of moving parts when it comes to moving so it is important to stay organized. Here are a few things you can do to make your move easier:

• Keep all important moving documents in one place such as your lease, moving quotes, photos related to the move, etc.
• Start decluttering your belongings at least 4-8 weeks before your move so you have time to donate and/or sell items you no longer need
• Consider and compare moving insurance if you have a lot of expensive items
• Research and choose a moving company in your area
• Get in touch with doctors, child’s school, etc. to make sure you have the necessary paperwork for your new location
• Request the appropriate moving paperwork from your new and old location
• Schedule the utility cut off in your old place and turn on in your new location

We are located in Tacoma but provide moving services in all cities as Kent, Lakewood, Midland, Olympia, Kirkland, Bellevue, Bonney Lake, Renton, Puyallup, and all around Greater Seattle Area and Olympia.

We provide an hourly rate that is broken down into 30-minute increments. So if your move will take 2 hours and 45 minutes, we will round up to 3 hours. Please note that the price quote that we provide to you is our minimum charge and not the actual cost of the move. The minimum price will always be charged even if the move is completed faster than the estimated hours.

Please note that even if you reduce or add a couple of items to the move it will not impact the rate. With that said, if you add enough items to impact how long the move will take, this will affect the final cost so it’s always best to be as accurate as possible when providing details of your move.

Travel time is added to cover the time spent traveling between the mover’s warehouse to your old apartment and then back to the warehouse from your new apartment. This fee is already included in your estimate and It is charged hourly as well

We work on a first-come, first-serve basis. The estimate is valid for as long as we have moving slots available for the day of your move. In order to lock down the detailed quote, you will need to confirm the date and pay a non-refundable $100 deposit.

We provide basic disassembly/assembly of furniture items such as bed frames, dining tables, etc. We do NOT assemble/disassemble items such as murphy beds, IKEA wardrobes, couches, or other pieces of furniture that require specialized tools.

We will also wrap all of your furniture items in blankets to prevent damage, dismount your TV, uninstall your AC unit, cover your mattress in a plastic mattress cover, provide three wardrobe boxes to you on a rental basis, and will provide the necessary equipment like tape, tools, and dollies. Even if you decline these complementary services, it will not affect your total cost so you might as well take advantage of them!

Any packing materials required beyond what we provide such as Masonite boards, wall protection, and floor protection will incur an extra charge. While you can pack these, we suggest you keep all legal documents, jewelry, and currency on your person to ensure they don’t get lost or damaged.

We do not install any items (AC unit, TV) in the new destination for safety reasons. We also will not take off curtain rods. While we can disassemble L shaped couches, we do not disassemble 2- or 3-seater couches. We also do not assemble cribs for safety reasons. While we can pack and move your plants, we do not take any responsibility if they are damaged during the move, so we highly suggest that you pack and move them yourself for safety reasons.

The material charge listed on your quote is an estimate as it cannot be calculated until the movers have arrived at your location. The charges can be applied to things like packing your delicate items like TVs, mirrors, lamps, etc. It also depends on the boxes that we will have to use and customize to suit your belongings. The material charges can go up or down depending on usage.

It can sometimes be hard to spot fake movers, but generally speaking they will be very cagey when you start asking too many questions. This is especially true if you ask for their Department of Transportation number and/or insurance information. Many will also try to pressure you into paying a large deposit upfront. If you notice these red flags, run!

We highly suggest you label any boxes or items as fragile so that we know to handle them with care. We will then make sure to load it properly in our truck to ensure nothing gets crushed.
