What’s Included in a Standard Residential Moving in Spokane, WA

A standard residential move includes all essential tasks required to relocate your household safely and efficiently. The goal is to maintain structure, protect your belongings, and complete the move in an organized manner that reduces downtime and unnecessary handling.

Core components of a standard residential move include:

  • Protective home preparation such as doorframe padding, floor coverings, and stairway guards

  • Furniture care with wrapping, padding, and disassembly when necessary

  • Organized loading methods based on weight, fragility, and destination room

  • Balanced truck stacking using tie-downs and stabilizing straps

  • Room-by-room unloading to speed up setup at the new home

  • Reassembly of major furniture items for faster settling

These steps maintain the integrity of your belongings and provide a clear system during both loading and unloading. By following this structured approach, the team minimizes the risk of damage and keeps the move efficient.

Full-Service Packing and Unpacking Support

Packing is one of the most time-consuming parts of any residential move. To streamline the process, we offer full-service packing options that ensure your items are wrapped appropriately and grouped in a logical order. This removes the guesswork and reduces the amount of time you need to spend preparing your home for moving day. The packing team uses industry-standard materials to secure fragile items, protect electronics, and stabilize irregular shapes.

Some homeowners prefer partial packing while keeping certain tasks for themselves. That option is available as well. The team can focus on breakables, high-value items, or specific rooms while leaving the rest for you to manage. Once the move is complete, unloading can be paired with unpacking services to place essential items where you need them and reduce the time it takes to get settled.

Specialty Items and Furniture Handling

Not every home contains the same types of furniture or household items, and certain belongings require enhanced protection. Specialty handling is available for items that are heavier, more fragile, or more complex to move. This includes large furniture pieces, oversized items, and delicate belongings that need extra stabilization.

Examples of items that benefit from specialty handling include:

  • Glass cabinets and display cases

  • Pianos, oversized instruments, and heavy equipment

  • Large sofas, sectionals, and entertainment units

  • Artwork, mirrors, and framed pieces

  • High-value electronics and appliances

These items are wrapped, padded, and secured with additional stabilizers inside the truck to prevent shifting during transport. The team also evaluates the best path out of the home to avoid tight corners and minimize risk.

Labor-Only Moving Assistance

Some homeowners prefer to manage the transportation portion themselves but still need support with the physical labor. Labor-only moving assistance is available for situations where a truck is already secured, but help is needed with loading, unloading, or rearranging items within the home. This option is useful for DIY movers who want professional handling without booking a full-service package.

Labor-only services can support:

  • POD or container loading

  • Rental truck loading

  • Rearranging furniture within the home

  • Unloading support after long-distance travel

This flexible service model ensures you receive the level of help that fits your moving plan.

Storage Support and Inventory Coordination

Moves that involve timing gaps, remodels, or temporary housing needs often require storage. Our team can coordinate storage solutions that accommodate both short-term and long-term needs. Items are inventoried, labeled, and stored in an organized system for quick retrieval when you are ready to complete your move. This reduces clutter and keeps your belongings protected until your next space is ready.

Inventory tracking helps maintain structure throughout the process. Each item is logged, and identifying information is recorded so you can easily find what you need, even during extended storage periods. This support is beneficial for homeowners who want a streamlined, organized transition without managing storage on their own.

Preparing for Moving Day

Proper preparation ensures your moving day stays on schedule and runs smoothly. Homeowners are encouraged to organize items, gather personal documents, and secure anything that requires special attention before movers arrive. Clear walkways and accessible entry points assist the team in working efficiently. Small steps like these help maintain a steady workflow throughout the day and prevent delays.

To help keep the process moving, here are a few preparation tips:

  • Keep essential items and personal documents separate

  • Identify fragile or high-value belongings ahead of time

  • Empty refrigerators, freezers, and appliances before the move

  • Communicate access instructions, gate codes, or parking details

These simple steps help the team work faster while ensuring your belongings remain organized.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear What Our Satisfied Clients Have To Say

We had received an estimate from Movher and decided to try a less expensive option. When the other company totally botched it and was unprepared for our move, we called Movher and told them we had a moving emergency. They were able to round up a crew on the same day and they did an excellent job getting us packed out and moved. They are definitely worth the cost. Very professional and quality work. We will use them again for our moving needs in the future.

Laura S.

From beginning to end: getting the quote to the actual move (moving large and small furniture to final locations) each person I interact with was kind, upbeat and helpful! The movers were quicker than quoted! Incredibly helpful and respectful of the space!! The admin team who got me the quote and set everything up were incredible!! Would highly recommend and use MovHer for any and all moving these moving forward!

Denise B.

A mandatory move, as we were changing companies. We had used Moveher before, always with excellent service. But we thought it was very expensive this time, so we hired a lesser cost company. That company no-showed us. Complete chaos. We called Moveher and on a Saturday, after rejecting their bid, in a matter of hours, they were able to call in an emergency crew that solved all our problems with excellence. Friendly, professional, excellent service! We will never doubt them again!

Thomas S.

Wonderful experience moving with MovHer! They were very professional and super helpful every step of the way. We had a 4 bedroom house, garage and shed to move in two days and they did a great job and put everything in the correct rooms. Went above and beyond to help with anything we needed and even came up with a great idea for how to move a Lego Eiffel Tower without breaking it. Very happy and would recommend to anyone!

Cassie F.

Prompt, courteous, and professional! We've had others move us in town and across country - so we are always skeptical and expecting the worst experience. NOT this time. From the first contact we knew we made the right choice. The help was the best -- took the stress out of a move like no other we've had. They even took time to get to know us and share about themselves. I would recommend this company to anyone. You are paying for something beyond just service. They care.
