On your local moving day, trained professionals come to collect your prepacked, labeled items and load them onto the moving van. They then haul all your possessions to your new place before bringing them to their intended rooms based on the box labels. Following this, you will oversee an assessment to identify possible damage to your items during transit. When all belongings have been accounted for and examined, you provide your approval on the delivery, indicating the completion of the movers’ task.
We have been moving locally around Tacoma since 1997. We use that expertise to answer these questions:
Our team provides both comprehensive services where we bring our own moving truck, and labor-only services, which include our movers coming to help you on your move.
We offer expert packing services to ensure your belongings are secure and ready for transportation, as well as unpacking services to give you a hands-free move.
Our movers are trained to handle delicate, large, or unusual items such as pianos, antiques, artwork, and more to ensure that we can help, no matter what your move entails.
We offer both short-term and long-term storage options in our secure, climate-controlled facility. Our warehouse is equipped with 17,000 sq. ft. of space.
What you need is the right moving company to match the unique needs of your move. Finding the best local movers in Tacoma for you involves asking the right questions, such as:
By asking these questions as you look for movers, you can narrow down your list and create a shortlist of potential local moving companies. We recommend getting at least three estimates for your local move.
The cost of local moving services varies from company to company. However, an accurate estimate can be provided by conducting a complete home survey. This allows movers to assess the size and weight of your belongings, the complexity of the move, and any additional services you may need. Avoid movers who give an estimate over the phone without doing a complete survey of your move.
At Apex Moving & Storage, we offer in-home and virtual surveys, thoroughly examining all items to be moved. We don’t provide rough estimates over the phone; we believe in giving you the most accurate quote possible based on your specific needs.
The timeline of your move is highly dependent on various factors, such as the size of your home, the distance of the move, and your specific requirements. However, as experienced local movers, Apex Moving & Storage offers moving services that match your timeline, including last-minute moving services.
It’s key to move with a moving company that is properly licensed. For local moves in the state of Washington, you will want to find their WA HHG license. You can also find their federal USDOT license to utilize the Federal Movers Database and learn more about who you’re potentially moving with.
Apex Moving & Storage is a fully licensed and insured moving company, providing you with peace of mind for your move. Our licensing details are as follows: USDOT license number 1064661, WA HHG license number HG060652, and MC license number 441701. Our insurance includes General Liability and Worker’s Comp.
Online reviews are a great way of seeing how a moving company treats its customers and their possessions. However, you have to know what to look for. When considering online reviews, you should value the total number of reviews, the overall score, whether they reply to negative reviews, and when their most recent review was.
Our company takes pride in our excellent reputation, which is reflected in our A+ rating from the BBB and numerous positive customer reviews on Google. View our hundreds of 5-star reviews here.
When searching for a reliable moving company, the biggest guarantee to look for is transparent and accurate pricing. Unexpected charges from disreputable movers can seriously disrupt your budget and lead to unforeseen financial stress. To avoid this, ensure that your potential moving company provides a comprehensive written estimate with no hidden costs. Furthermore, pay attention to customer reviews to see if previous customers have encountered issues related to undisclosed fees.
At Apex Moving & Storage, we believe in upfront, transparent pricing. Therefore, we offer guaranteed pricing with no hidden fees. Our estimates are detailed and accurate, providing you with certainty about your moving costs.
Your moving company should have options for coverage of your items. Instead of insurance, this is called “Moving Valuation”. Government regulation requires all movers to offer coverage of 60 cents per pound per item. All movers should offer this included with your move. If you want additional coverage, ask your moving company what their options are.
We offer moving valuation options at Apex Moving & Storage. Our Limited Liability Coverage is included in every move at no additional cost. In addition, we offer Full Value Protection Coverage for added peace of mind. This comprehensive plan provides replacement value for any items lost or damaged during the move. We are committed to ensuring your belongings reach their destination safely.
In the world of professional moving services, flexibility and planning are key. The industry often faces a rush during certain peak periods, notably the summer months of June, July, and August. During these times, moving companies experience heightened demand, causing their schedules to fill up rapidly. For this reason, it’s always advisable to get in touch with your chosen provider as early as possible to secure your ideal moving date.
At Apex Moving, we diligently work with you to align our availability with your preferred moving dates. Our dedicated move managers are always ready to help with planning, although not all dates can be guaranteed due to the busy periods of the year. That said, we’re equipped with an efficient crew and a fleet of trucks, enabling us to accommodate a wide range of scheduling needs. Please don’t hesitate to contact us even if you’re unsure of the exact date, a rough time frame will help us serve you better.
