Moving Services

Storwell can provide a referral for local moving companies to ensure your next move goes as smoothly as possible.

When you are moving homes there are a couple of different routes you can take. You can choose the do-it-yourself method, which involves renting a moving truck and moving all your items to your new home by yourself or with a few friends. This is a great cost-effective option if you are moving from a two-bedroom house or apartment with a smaller number of items.

If you decide that you have too much stuff to move yourself, then you might look to hiring a full moving service. This is a good option because it takes a lot of pressure off you on the day of the move. If you need recommendations for moving companies, you can ask one of our representatives and they will direct you to one of the moving companies that we have partnered with in the past.

How do you move fragile or valuable items, such as artwork or antiques?

When moving fragile or valuable items such as artwork or antiques, you must make sure that the piece is packed properly. During the course of the move, certain items might swift around in the moving truck, so whenever possible, wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or another protective material. If you are concerned about valuable items getting lost during a move, pack them separately from the rest of your items and transport them in your personal vehicle.
