Apartment Moving Services
Relocations of all kinds are challenging, but apartment moves can provide a wide variety of unique challenges that only certain apartment movers are equipped to handle. Typically speaking, apartment moves are also local moves. At Federal Companies, we consider a local move to be any move that takes place within a 100 mile radius of the origin point. These kinds of moves can typically be completed by a single crew in a single day, making them time and cost-effective.
Nobody understands more than us that no matter the distance or type of residence, moves are stressful, tedious, and laborious. With Federal Companies’ team of expertly-trained movers for apartments, your apartment relocation will be transformed from backbreaking work to a simple process.
Hiring Professional Apartment Movers
Many of the challenges you’ll face during a local apartment move are the same issues one would face during any other type of move, most of which can be addressed by signing on with the right apartment moving company.
Our apartment moving service is holistic and provides all manners of benefits to the customer. Packing is often the most difficult and tedious part of a local apartment move but will be handled in full, including providing supplies, by our packing services. If you want to downsize, you’ll have access to our warehouse that is climate-controlled and monitored 24 hours a day. The safety of people and protection of valuable objects is our specialty, and our crew specializes in saving you plenty of time better spent elsewhere. Perhaps our most valuable service is peace of mind and the valuable, extensive experience of our apartment relocation team.
While any relocation is difficult, our movers for apartments need to take special consideration of certain factors that don’t come up in other moves. Apartment complexes typically have common areas that, if damaged or disturbed, can result in headaches and money paid out in damages to property owners. Since apartments are also not the property of the client, it is also very important that they are not damaged in any way. An expert team of local apartment movers also need to be trained in how to navigate cramped stairs and elevators. Parking lots and common areas can also mean longer distances to trucks. Finally, many apartment complexes have special move-in/move-out regulations that must be strictly adhered to.
Federal Companies’ 5-star, professional apartment moving team will make these difficulties easy and also provide a long list of additional services for convenience, including assembly and disassembly of large furniture, rearranging of furniture in the new home or apartment, and the placement of boxes in proper rooms. Don’t settle for anything less.
Apartment Moving Requires Specialized Equipment & Training
The moving company for apartments you choose should be equipped for the highly-specialized job they are going to undertake. Not having the equipment necessary to complete the job is an easy way to put undue stress on the client and drag out the process for longer than necessary.
Moving trucks are the most important part of any apartment moving service. Typically, they measure 20 to 26 feet in length, with the smaller variants being preferred for small moves of this kind. Other specialized equipment includes toolboxes for disassembly and reassembly, straps, blankets for furniture and apartment protection, dollies, boxes in special configurations, shrink wrap, tape, and a multitude of other tools that will make your small move simple. Federal Companies also boasts a storage warehouse with climate control and 24 hour monitoring.
More than half the battle is training, which must be rote and complete for a crew to handle a specialized move of this kind. Federal Companies is the best moving company for apartments due to our staff’s excellent and extensive training and experience.
How Much Does an Apartment Move Cost?
Like other services, the price of an apartment move will be highly variable, dependent on a number of different factors specific to your situation. Your best bet to finding an accurate price estimate is to contact the company directly.
To name just a few of the factors that go into a moving quote, these include things like:
- Type of move being conducted
- Special preparation required
- The number of men required to execute the move
- Ease of access (elevators, flights of stairs, etc.)
- Size of unit (studio, one bedroom, two bedroom, etc.)
- Distance traveled
- Any special services employed
Most apartment moves are also local moves, so hourly rates will also be a factor in that case. As previously stated, predicting the final price without contacting the company beforehand will be very difficult, if not impossible. We recommend calling your company of choice or filling out any online quote form they may have. At Federal Companies, our quotes are completely cost-free, and our rates are fair and reasonably priced!
How to Choose the Best Apartment Moving Company
Choosing the right apartment moving company is key to having a good experience during your relocation. To find the right company for you, Federal Companies recommends the following:
You’ll want to check the reviews of apartment movers near your location on Google or Yelp. See which companies have good reviews, and be certain to check how long they’ve been in the business, how many moves they’ve done, and what other experience they have while also being sure that this moving team is properly licensed and insured. Finally, be sure that their customer service is top-notch!
