For peak season moves between May and September, booking 3 to 4 weeks in advance is ideal. Off-season moves can usually be scheduled with 1 to 2 weeks notice. Last-minute moves are possible depending on availability, so call us even if your timeline is short. We will always tell you honestly what we can fit.

Yes. We operate 7 days a week. Monday to Friday 7am to 8pm, Saturday 7am to 6pm, and Sunday 8am to 4pm. Weekend slots fill up faster than weekdays, especially in summer, so book early if your move date falls on a Saturday.

Call us as soon as you know. We understand that move dates change, especially when real estate closings or lease handovers are involved. We will do our best to accommodate a new date. The sooner you let us know, the more options we have available.

Sometimes. It depends on our current schedule. Call us directly and we will tell you immediately if we can make it work. We never want to turn away a move if we have the crew available.

Call us at or fill in the quote form on any page of this site. Tell us your home size, moving from and to addresses, move date, and any specialty items. We respond same day with a fixed price.

Yes, and we do it regularly. Baltimore is full of rowhomes and walk-up apartments. Stairs are a standard part of what we handle, not an exception. Tell us the number of flights when you get your quote so we can size the crew correctly.

Yes. You do not need a full home move to use us. Single item moves, furniture deliveries, and small partial moves are all jobs we take on. Call us with what you need and we will give you a price.

Yes. Senior moves are some of the most important work we do. We take our time, communicate clearly, and work at a pace that is comfortable for the customer. Let us know the situation when you book so we can match the right crew to the job.

Both. Full packing means we pack everything in your home from kitchen to closets. Partial packing means you handle most of it and we pack the items or rooms you want professionally handled, such as fragile kitchenware, artwork, or a home office. Your choice.

We bring all packing materials when you book a packing service. Boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, and specialty materials for fragile items are all included. If you have your own materials and prefer we use them, that is fine too.

Yes. Packing the day before is often the smoothest approach for larger homes. The move day crew arrives to a home that is ready to load rather than spending the morning packing. Let us know when you book and we will schedule both days.

Yes. Unpacking is available as a standalone service or added to your move. We unpack boxes, place items where you direct, and remove all packing materials so you are not left with a mountain of boxes after an already exhausting day.

Yes. Upright pianos, console pianos, and grand pianos. Grand pianos require disassembly of the legs and pedal lyre before moving. Call us first and describe the piano and the access at both locations so we can price it correctly and assign the right crew.

Almost certainly yes. Pianos almost always go out of tune after a move due to changes in temperature, humidity, and the physical movement itself. This is normal and expected regardless of how carefully the piano is moved. We recommend waiting 2 to 4 weeks after the move before tuning so the piano can acclimate to its new environment.

Yes. Antique furniture, fine art, sculptures, and framed pieces are assessed individually before the move. Each item is wrapped in the appropriate materials and positioned carefully on the truck to minimize movement during transport. Tell us about high-value items when you book.

Yes. Large safes can exceed 1,000 pounds and require specific equipment and crew sizing. Call us with the make, weight if you know it, and stair access details at both locations. We will give you a fixed price based on those specifics.

Yes. Pool tables require full disassembly including the slate and felt. Call us first with the table size and access details so we can confirm the job and quote it correctly.
