This is twice over used Apex moving and storage, first was just a move into storage so insurance could fix my floor. This one was a for a move half... way across the country. I wasn't knowing what to think. From the time I first called Billie I knew I was in good hands. She explained everything and answered every question I came up with. I moved the end of April, I just finished unpacking in my new home last week, that's why the delay in doing a review. I knew something had to be broken. Well NOTHING was broken, NOTHING was damaged, everything was perfect. I have nothing but praise for this company. Thank you. From Billy, to James who did the estimate, to the Packers and loaders and truck driver, A+ job!! I wonder if they'll come back here and load me up and bring me back home. I should have been as careful with my decision a they were with all my things. Don't book your move till you talk to Apex!Debbie Alexanderread moreemily langworthy

I have had Apex move me twice in the past 5 years. Both times, they had the lowest prices and had very good reviews. They are very hard workers and... will ensure all of your belongings go exactly where you want them. They know how many movers and trucks you will need after a short inventory of your house. Both times, they ended up coming in at about $500 under their quotes. Their movers are extremely friendly and quick, but careful. I would highly recommend Apex Moving for any of your moving needs.read moreEzra and Isidore Nettleship

Apex was great from start to finish! They were quick to respond, kind and easy to work with. They provided me with an accurate pre-bid and answered... all of my questions patiently and in a timely manner. On moving day, the team arrived early and in good spirits. They were courteous, helpful and very positive. They made sure to put everything on the truck, even smaller items I was planning to haul myself. They got the job done quickly and efficiently and had the best attitudes. They worked well as a team and were careful with my furniture. I highly recommend them.

If she is any indication of the crew that's coming to move my stuff to storage, it's going to be a great move!!I told Billi what i needed and when and she helped me "choreograph the dance"! The suggestions were great and she made it work! I am now looking forward to a smooth move with a great crew!!Thanks, again, Billi!read moreGreg Holz

We were having new floors installed in our house and needed to have the heaviest furniture . including a 127 year old upright grand piano, moved into... our garage. The flooring installer recommended Apex. It was a great choice. The Apex team came and moved the furniture into our garage and the piano into an area where the floor wasn't being replaced. The piano weighs around 700 pounds. They took great care to make sure everything was moved quickly and safely. When the flooring installation was completed, another team came to move everything back. I was especially nervous because the flooring installers said the piano could tear up the new floor if not moved carefully.. The movers took great care in making sure this did not happen. In fact, they took great care in making sure none of the furniture would cause damage to the new floor. It was truly a pleasure working with such a professional group of movers from our first contact with the relocation consultant and the office personnel to the actual movers themselves. I would highly recommend using this company.read moreM G

I got out of an abusive relationship. My ex withheld my property from me and finally gave me one, short notice day that hired movers could come and... pick up my property. It seemed like every place I called was booked. Apex Movers called me right back, had availability even with a short notice and cheaper rates than the other places I called. They kept me informed along the way and were so friendly, supportive and professional in moving my items and in understanding my situation. Here’s to healthy new beginnings- thank you so much Apex!read moreted maloney

Quick and professional. Would recommend.First downside however is that we requested a wardrobe and mattress cover for our move, and the move team... was underprepared by not having those items (after reviewing the mover’s instructions they were not listed by the relocation consultant). My recommendation for anyone using this service is to have the relocation consultant reiterate what items will be provided by the movers, and to specifically have them listed on the “move notes” and not just the “consultant notes” (you will only see these notes when the movers arrive).Second downside was that the movers were late. We were given an arrival time of 8:15-9:15 and they arrived at 9:35.read moreLaura Esler

I called last week to schedule an interior move so we could get carpet installed, then had to cancel at the last minute. Wendy was really nice about... it. Then I called this morning letting her know we needed their help after all. She said she would check everyone's schedule and call me back. She called about 15 minutes later stating she could get a couple guys over to us in a couple hours. She set us up for a one hour move. The guys got here right on time and moved our furniture in 15 minutes. They were so nice. Since it only took them 15 minutes, the main guy handling the paperwork called their office and got them to take $30 off the original quote. Then they offered to move a large sectional that we were going to move ourselves. Talk about 5 star service. I hope we get the same guys back when we need them to put the furniture back!read moreAlexander Babaitsev

So we used apex movers because they were hired by the military to move us from lake stevens Washington to Bremerton Washington over all a 2 hr move... south. I have to say the packers were nice they were cool and very polite. However i feel like they didnt pack as well as they could have. While unpacking i found 3 broken glasses two of which went to a nice set my husbands grandparents gave to us our tv stand which is wooden and had some scuff marks on it before was missing the front piece of wood. My bed which was only 2 years old is now dipping badly in the middle when it wasnt before the move. When they came and did the pack out they forgot to check my pantry and ended up leaving behind 4 boxes granted they came back and got them that same day but still. There are a few more little things ive noticed as ive continued to unpack as well. Like my blu ray player was packed into a box and had other stuff piled on top of it with no bubble wrap or any such protection for it now it randomly turns itself off and on when it never did that before. My printer was also packed like my blu ray player was with no bubble wrap or protection for it just put into a box and had stuff piled on and around it. Like i said the staff was nice and personable and they were at least on time and kept in contact with us thru out the process but i feel like they could and should have taken more care to pack things and double or tripple wrap and pack them especially glass items or electronics and furniture.read morePaul Johnson

Local Movers
Moving for the First Time?
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:
- Who are the Best Local Movers in Tacoma?
- How Much Do Local Moving Services Cost?
- How Quickly Can Local Movers Complete My Move?
- Are They Fully Licensed and Insured?
- What are Their Reviews and Ratings from Past Customers?
- Do They Offer Any Guarantees?
- How Do They Handle Damaged or Lost Items During the Move?
- Will They Accommodate The Moving Date to My Schedule?
Our Local Moving Services
-
Full-Service and Labor-Only
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.
-
Packing and Unpacking
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.
-
Specialty Moving
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.
-
Warehouse Storage
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.
Who are the Best Local Movers in Tacoma?
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:
- Are they Locally-Owned or are they a chain moving company?
- What do they do to help the Tacoma community?
- Do they have any promos or moving specials to help save me money?
- Do they have the proper licenses for my move and are fully insured?
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.
How Much Do Local Moving Services Cost?
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.
How Quickly Can Local Movers Complete My Move?
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.
Are They Fully Licensed and Insured?
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.
What are Their Reviews and Ratings from Past Customers?
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.
Do They Offer Any Guarantees?
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.
How Do They Handle Damaged or Lost Items During the Move?
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.
Will They Accommodate The Moving Date to My Schedule?
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.
