Moving Prices and Quotes

How much do movers cost?

Moving cost depends on the size of the move, crew size, furniture, boxes, stairs, elevators, parking, walking distance, packing needs, and the distance between pickup and delivery. A small studio with easy access usually takes less time than a larger home, office, or apartment with stairs and long hallways.

What information do you need for a quote?

To prepare a better moving quote, send your move date, pickup address, delivery address, home size, stairs or elevator details, parking information, approximate inventory, number of boxes, and any heavy or fragile items. Photos can help when there is difficult access or large furniture.

Do you have a minimum?

Most professional moving companies have a minimum service time because movers, truck, equipment, fuel, scheduling, and travel preparation are required even for smaller moves. Contact Twilight Movers for current minimums based on your move details.

What is a Not-To-Exceed estimate?

A Not-To-Exceed estimate gives customers a maximum estimated price for the agreed move details, unless extra items, extra stops, new services, or customer-requested changes are added. This helps customers understand the budget before moving day.

Do you disassemble and reassemble furniture?

Yes. Our movers can disassemble and reassemble common furniture items when needed, including beds, bed frames, tables, desks, and similar furniture pieces.

Do you move heavy items?

Yes. We move heavy household items such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, dressers, sofas, sectionals, tables, and other bulky items. Very heavy items may require additional movers or special planning.

Do you move refrigerators, washers, and dryers?

Yes. We can move refrigerators, washers, and dryers. Customers should disconnect appliances before the movers arrive unless other arrangements are made.

Do you move TVs, mirrors, and artwork?

Yes, but these items should be packed properly. TVs should be in a TV box whenever possible. Mirrors, glass tops, and artwork should have proper protection before moving.

Packing and Preparation

Do you offer packing services?

Yes. Twilight Movers offers packing help for kitchens, fragile items, decorations, glassware, electronics, closets, bedrooms, office items, and household goods.

How should I prepare before movers arrive?

Have loose items packed, boxes sealed, fragile items labeled, walkways cleared, and parking or elevator access ready. Keep important documents, medication, jewelry, chargers, keys, and valuables with you.

Should I empty my drawers?

It depends on the furniture. Light clothing may sometimes stay in sturdy drawers, but heavy items, fragile items, liquids, paperwork, and loose items should be removed.

What should I keep with me?

Keep documents, medication, jewelry, cash, keys, personal electronics, chargers, passports, legal papers, and important valuables with you during the move.

Moving Day

How long does a move take?

Timing depends on home size, number of boxes, furniture amount, stairs, elevator wait time, walking distance, parking access, packing readiness, and driving distance. Every move is different.

How can I make my move faster?

Be fully packed before the crew arrives, label boxes, reserve parking, clear pathways, confirm elevator access, and communicate special instructions ahead of time.

Can you place items in different rooms at delivery?

Yes. At delivery, movers can place furniture and boxes into the correct rooms when boxes are labeled and the customer gives clear instructions.

What happens if it rains?

If conditions are safe, moves may continue during light rain. Heavy rain, flooding, or unsafe conditions may require schedule adjustments.
