1. Masters of Moving

Masters of Moving

is a family-owned and operated moving company in Northern California. They strive to be a one-stop-shop for their customers, so they offer a variety of services to help your move go smoothly. The types of moves they cover are local, interstate, office, and senior moves.

Here are some of the moving services they offer:

Furniture moving

Large and heavy item moving

Commercial services

Rates and insurance options

Your moving rate with Masters of Moving will depend on how many movers and moving trucks you will need. If you have your own moving vehicle and just need movers, the rate is $50/hour per mover. Here are the additional rates:

2 movers and 1 truck: $120/hour

3 movers and 1 truck: $160/hour

4 movers and 1 truck: $200/hour

Additional truck: $50/hour

All moves come with free loaner wardrobe boxes and shrink-wrapping included in the hourly rate, except for the 9% fuel charge.

All local moves that are within 100 miles from beginning to end have a 4-hour minimum. Any move over 100 miles is considered to be a long-distance move, and the rate will be determined by mileage, weight, and the size of the truck.

Masters of Moving does not have any insurance options listed, so be sure to ask if they offer moving insurance coverage with their services.

How to choose a moving company

When you’re choosing a moving company, it’s important to find one that offers the services you need and provides a smooth moving experience.

Remember to look up customer reviews online and make sure the company is

properly licensed and accredited

before booking—this can help you avoid getting ripped off.

Here’s a breakdown of the services offered by our five moving companies to help you decide which is right for you.

Plan your move ahead of time

Since you’ve had a chance to take a look at some moving companies, now you can get to the booking part!

It’s usually a good idea to book your time with a moving company at least a month ahead of your move. This is especially recommended during holiday weekends and summer months when moving is the most common.

You should also plan out your moving budget. You’ll be able to find good deals depending on the movers, your belongings, and the distance of your move—but watch out for extra expenses that could hurt you financially in the long run.

If you have your budget planned out in advance, you’ll be able to make a level-headed decision rather than having to opt for a subpar option due to time constraints.

Does a mover need to enter my home?

Yes. Unless you have already moved all of your belongings outside, the movers will need to enter your home to get them onto the moving vehicles.

Do I need to empty dresser drawers for movers?

Yes, you will need to empty dresser drawers for movers. Full drawers will make the dresser much heavier to move, so it will be easier for them to move your dresser if you empty it out.
