Streamline Your Move with Our Expert Team

Relocating involves significantly more than simply transporting boxes from point A to point B. It requires strategic planning, physical endurance, and the technical skill to protect assets during transit. Homeowners and business owners often underestimate the volume of goods they possess until they begin the packing process. By the time the moving truck arrives, fatigue has often set in, increasing the risk of injury or damage to property.

Our professional service removes the variables that cause delays and damages. We provide the manpower and the strategy. When you hire a dedicated team, you are paying for efficiency. We navigate narrow hallways, manage staircases, and disassemble complex furniture systems with tools and techniques that the average homeowner may not possess.

The goal is to turn a chaotic day into a structured event. By handing over the logistics to us, you ensure that timelines are met. If you have a closing date on a house or a lease expiration, there is no room for error. We operate with strict adherence to schedules, ensuring that your belongings are out of the old location and into the new one within the agreed-upon timeframe.

What Our Moving Service Includes

We provide a comprehensive scope of work designed to cover every aspect of the relocation process. You can choose a full-service experience or select specific labor services depending on your budget and requirements.

Professional Packing and Unpacking

The safety of your items begins with how they are packed. Improper packing is the leading cause of damage during transit.

• Full-service packing: We bring all necessary materials, including heavy-duty boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape. We systematically pack room by room, labeling every box clearly with contents and destination.
• Fragile-only packing: If you prefer to pack clothes and books but are worried about china, artwork, or electronics, we handle the high-risk items.
• Unpacking services: Once arrived, we can assist in removing items from boxes and placing them on flat surfaces, removing the debris so your home is functional immediately.

Furniture Disassembly and Reassembly

Large furniture pieces often cannot fit through doorways or travel safely while fully assembled.

• Disassembly: We break down bed frames, dining tables, sectional sofas, and large shelving units. All hardware is bagged and taped securely to the main piece or stored in a dedicated parts box.
• Protection: Disassembled pieces are wrapped in industrial-grade moving pads and shrink-wrapped to prevent scratches, dents, or exposure to dust.
• Reassembly: Upon arrival at the new location, we reassemble all furniture to its original state and place it exactly where you want it.

Loading, Transport, and Unloading

This is the core of the physical move, requiring proper techniques to maximize truck space and ensure load stability.

• Strategic loading: Heavier items are placed at the bottom and distributed evenly to balance the truck. We build "walls" of boxes to prevent shifting during transit.
• Safe transport: Our drivers are experienced in navigating local roads and highways, minimizing vibration and sudden stops that could shift the cargo.
• Room-specific unloading: We do not just drop boxes in the living room. We place boxes and furniture in their corresponding rooms based on your floor plan or verbal direction.

Specialty Item Handling

Some items require more than standard lifting.

• Appliances: We handle washers, dryers, and refrigerators with appliance dollies and proper strapping to prevent internal damage or scratches to floors.
• Heavy items: Safes, pianos, or large exercise equipment require specific equipment and manpower ratios to move safely.

Our Moving Process: Step-by-Step

A successful move is built on a repeatable, proven process. We do not improvise on moving day. Every stage of the engagement is documented and planned to ensure clarity and efficiency.

• Initial Consultation and Inventory: The process begins with an assessment of your inventory. We review the size of your home or office, the volume of belongings, and access points at both locations. This allows us to determine the crew size and truck capacity required.
• Detailed Estimation: Based on the inventory, we provide a clear estimate. This outlines the labor, travel time, and any material costs. You will understand the pricing structure before any work begins, eliminating surprises on the final invoice.
• Preparation and Scheduling: Once the date is secured, we confirm the logistics. This includes verifying parking availability for the truck and confirming start times. If packing services are included, these are scheduled to occur one to two days prior to the load date.
• Execution on Moving Day: The crew arrives at the scheduled time. The lead mover conducts a walkthrough with you to identify high-priority items and note any pre-existing conditions. Floor protection is laid down to prevent damage to hardwood or carpets.
• Loading and Transit: The team executes the load-out efficiently. You do not need to lift a finger. Once loaded, we transport your belongings directly to the destination. We maintain communication regarding arrival times.
• Unloading and Placement: At the destination, we unload with the same care used during loading. We position furniture and stack boxes in the correct rooms. We also handle the reassembly of any furniture taken apart during the load-out.
• Final Walkthrough: Before the crew departs, we conduct a final review. We ensure all items are accounted for, furniture is assembled, and you are satisfied with the placement of your belongings.

Choosing the Right Time and Service for Your Move

Deciding between a DIY move and professional services often comes down to cost versus risk and time. While renting a truck may seem cheaper initially, the hidden costs of fuel, insurance, equipment rental, and the potential for personal injury or property damage often narrow the gap.

There are specific scenarios where professional intervention is the only logical choice. If you are moving heavy appliances or specialized furniture like pianos, the risk of damage to the item or the home is high without proper equipment. If you are on a strict timeline due to a real estate closing, Movher ensures the timeline is met without the delays common in DIY moves.

Timing your move also impacts the experience. The end of the month is typically the busiest time for all moving companies in the Tri-Cities area due to lease turnover. If your schedule allows, booking a move mid-month or mid-week can offer more flexibility — see current specials for deals. Regardless of the date, booking well in advance is crucial to securing your preferred slot.

For local moves within Kennewick, Pasco, or Richland, travel time is generally minimal, meaning the bulk of the cost is focused on loading and unloading labor. For moves extending further out, travel logistics play a larger role. Understanding these factors helps you make an informed decision on the level of service you require.

Adapting to Tri-Cities' Climate: Moving Any Season

The Tri-Cities region presents a unique climate profile that impacts how moves are executed. Being prepared for the local weather ensures that your belongings are protected and the crew can operate at peak efficiency.

• Summer Heat Considerations: Summers in the Columbia Basin are hot and dry, with temperatures frequently exceeding 90°F. Heat can affect certain items, such as candles, vinyl records, and some electronics. We prioritize loading these items last and unloading them first to minimize their time in the hot truck. Our crews are trained to work efficiently in high heat, taking necessary hydration breaks to maintain energy levels without stalling the move.
• Winter Weather Protocols: While winters are generally mild compared to other regions, snow and ice do occur. When moving during the winter months, protecting your home’s interior is a priority. We use floor runners and mats to prevent mud, slush, or moisture from being tracked onto carpets and hardwood floors. We also monitor road conditions to ensure safe transit for the moving truck.
• The Semi-Arid Advantage: The low annual precipitation in the region is a significant advantage for moving. Unlike coastal areas, rain delays are rare. This allows for consistent scheduling and reduces the risk of water damage to upholstered furniture or cardboard boxes during the load and unload process.

Why Choose Us? Our Track Record Speaks

Selecting a moving partner is a decision based on trust. You are handing over everything you own to a team of strangers. We bridge that gap through professionalism, vetting, and accountability.

• Local Expertise: We know the Tri-Cities area extensively. From the apartment complexes in Richland to the residential neighborhoods of Kennewick and the growing developments in Pasco, we understand the local geography. We know which streets accommodate large trucks and how to navigate local traffic patterns to save time.
• Vetted and Trained Crews: We do not use day laborers. Our movers are trained employees who understand the mechanics of lifting, packing, and stacking. They undergo background checks and rigorous training to ensure they meet our standards of conduct and capability.
• Equipment Maintenance: Our fleet is well-maintained to prevent breakdowns. A mechanical failure on moving day is a disaster we work hard to avoid. Our trucks are clean, equipped with air-ride suspension, and stocked with ample padding and straps.
• Accountability: We are fully licensed and insured. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, there is a clear process for resolution. We stand behind our work and value the reputation we have built in the community.

Moving signifies a new chapter. It should be defined by excitement for the new location, not the stress of the transition. By leveraging professional assistance, you protect your assets, your time, and your physical well-being. Ready to secure your move date? Contact us now to request your estimate.
