FAQ

As soon as you know your inventory list will be larger, please call our relocation specialists with your estimate number and we will be able to update your quote to reflect the requested changes. 

Please be mindful, that any last minute request to add significant volume to your already scheduled move, should be promptly communicated prior to our moving crew arriving so we can come prepared and plan our schedule accordingly. 

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best time to move will vary depending on your personal circumstances. However, some general things to keep in mind include:

  1. Timing your move around the school year can be helpful if you have children, as it can make the transition easier for them.
  2. If possible, try to avoid moving during the peak season (usually late spring through summer), as demand for movers and rental trucks will be higher and prices will be higher accordingly.
  3. Keep in mind that weather conditions can also play a role in timing your move – for example, planning a winter move may not be wise if you’re not used to cold.

It is best to contact movers well in advance, especially if you are moving during a busy time like the summer. Most reputable moving companies will require at least two weeks notice to schedule a move.

However, it is always a good idea to reach out to movers as soon as you know you are moving. That way, the company has enough time to prepare and get an accurate estimate for your move. Plus, it gives you plenty of time to prepare for the move by packing up your belongings and making arrangements for transportation of your furniture and other items.

Is your home 1,500 square feet or larger?

Do you have any large or heavy items that may be difficult to move safely and securely?

Does your home have any narrow hallways, doorways, or stairways that furniture cannot fit through?

Will movers have difficulty parking a 26 ft. truck close to your home?

Are you moving out of state?

We recommend you keep with you anything you or your family will use on the day of your move. The most common items include snacks, paper towel, toilet paper, phone chargers, an extra change of clothes, toothbrush/toothpaste, and your kids’ favorite toys along with their diaper bag. Most importantly, medications, important paperwork (e.g., social security cards, birth certificates), and anything highly valuable or sentimental to you such as (jewelry, bank account information, credit cards & cash etc.) should be set aside. On your moving day, place these essential items in a safe or luggage bag you’ll carry with you to your new home.

Hiring a company to come into your home and move your household belongings is a very personal service, so you should hire a company that will be careful with your furniture and personal belongings. Taking care of our customer’s needs is our #1 priority and it shows in the work we do here at ERO Moving LLC!

First and foremost, find out whether the company is insured or not. Also, ask what size of truck they will be bringing and how many men they will provide for their quoted price. Pay close attention to companies that charge extra fees for equipment, mileage, heavy handling, or overnight fees to avoid any hidden fees appearing on your final bill. It is always a good idea to ask how their damage claim policy works in case there is any damage to your belongings. Lastly, do your research! Look up your professional moving company on different platforms such as Google or Facebook and see what insight past customers have shared about their experiences with the company. From there, go with who you feel can provide the most value, flexibility, and reliability come moving day!

We do offer a 5% discount as well to any senior citizens or military members.

All of our clients will give us a call or fill out our free estimate form found on our website. We will then generate an estimate based on the conversation we had over the phone or from the inventory list the client provided online with the description of what they need us to move. The most important information required to get an accurate estimate is the date and how many men they will be reserving come time to move. Our clients will also provide the loading address and unloading address to our company. If any additional pit stops are necessary they will also relay that information to us! For example, storage units or a second loading/unloading address. We do recommend an onsite evaluation on all homes/apartments with three bedrooms or more; this will help us give you the most accurate estimate based on time and will enable us to provide you the budget you can expect when moving with the ERO team!

Moving a two bedroom apartment can take anywhere from 2-6 hours depending on the size of the move and availability of movers. It is important to note that it may take longer if you are moving furniture or other large items. Depending on how far away you are moving, the time spent driving to your new location could also greatly increase the time needed for your move.

If you choose to hire professional movers – which is definitely recommended for any sizable move – it’s best to budget at least 4-5 hours; more if there are more than 3 people helping with the load in/load out process. Professional movers typically come equipped with dollies, hand trucks, packing supplies, and specialized equipment like low door lifts and tight turners (used around corners) that help make loading easier and faster for larger pieces of furniture.

When it comes to your move, you want everything to be as easy and efficient as possible. That’s why we provide the necessary equipment for a successful transition from one home to the next. Our fleet of moving trucks is equipped with dollies, moving blankets, and wardrobe boxes—all designed to make your move easier.

If you plan to hire professional movers for your relocation, furniture padding is included in the service. For a DIY move, however, these moving essentials will need to be rented or purchased beforehand. Many truck rental companies rent out furniture pads for just this purpose – as do Home Depot stores and other major retailers like Walmart, Amazon and Lowes! If frequent moves are on your horizon it might even make sense to invest in some of your own long-term use blankets from any one of those outlets.

Yes. 

Before packing for a long distance move, it is important to plan ahead and be organized. Here are some tips to help you get started:

  1. Take stock of what you need to pack. Make a list of all the items that you will need to take with you and prioritize them.

  2. Sort and declutter your belongings before packing. Get rid of any items that you won’t need at your new destination and store or donate anything that is not essential for the move.

  3. Gather all necessary materials such as sturdy boxes, large plastic bins, markers, packing tape, bubble wrap, and other protective packaging materials.

  4. Begin by packing the items that are not used very often such as books, holiday decorations, seasonal clothing, and extra bedding. Label each box with its contents for easy identification when unpacking later on.

  5. Pack heavier items in smaller boxes so they are easily managed during the move itself. Securely seal each box using bubble wrap or other cushioning material to ensure that they don’t break while in transit.

  6. Add extra cushioning around fragile items like mirrors, pictures frames, glassware, china or other valuables before putting them into larger boxes or crates for transportation purposes

  7. Use clothing and blankets as fillers between stacked boxes to provide extra protection during shipping or transport of your items

With careful preparation and organization you can make sure that your possessions travel safely while saving time during the actual process of packing up your home prior to moving day.
