Schedule NowINTERNAL MOVING AT YOUR HOME & SMALL LOCAL HOUSE TO HOUSE MOVES
So, you live here in southeast Michigan and you are looking to have just a few items moved around your home? No problem, that’s a piece of cake. Our background checked move teams are used to moving entire houses packed with furniture, so moving just a few items or rearranging furniture within your house is a simple request and one we get quite frequently.
The name for this service is described as internal moving, on-site moving, in-home moving, in-house moving, or room to room moving. We provide this service regularly for people who are having their hardwood floors refinished or just have some furniture they would like shifted somewhere else inside their house. Heck, we even have some customers schedule us annually during the holidays to help them completely clear-out and transform rooms in preparation for hosting large family parties in their homes.
Although, on an overall scale of move sizes, an internal move project is something we consider small, we handle these projects with the same attention to detail as we would a regular normal house to house move.
How Do You Estimate the Cost for An Internal Move?
The first thing we are going to do is connect you with a Moving Consultant who will coordinate a quick virtual video call that will allow our Moving Consultant the opportunity to see everything you would like moved. Seeing everything through a quick video call, is going to let our Moving Consultant determine if any items need to be disassembled, wrapped, or require any special preparations before being moved. We make the call simple, painless, and quick. Plan for like five to ten minutes. You show us all of your furniture and the space where you would like it moved and we will gameplan how many movers you need and how long it might take to complete.
This will also allow you the opportunity to ask any questions regarding the move process or project. If coordinating a video call is challenging due to your busy schedule, then just take some pictures of the items to be moved and text them directly to us at 248-926-9999. Our Moving Consultant will follow-up with a traditional phone call.
Our Moving Consultant will quickly prepare your moving estimate and email or text it to you for your review. The estimate will contain all the important information such as the list of items to be moved and any notes that are important to the success of the project that you shared with the Moving Consultant during the video call. Of course, the estimate will contain the price to perform the move. Pending your review, you can digitally sign the estimate to approve and our Moving Consultant will reach back to you to share what available days and times our Scheduling Team has available to book your move.
When Are Internal Moves Scheduled?
Often smaller sized projects of this nature are typically scheduled for the beginning of the day, middle of the day, or end of the day. We do this to help reduce costs for our customers by combining smaller projects with other small projects. You will receive a 4-hour arrival window. Your 4-hour arrival window might be between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm or between 12:00 pm and 4:00 pm.
In special circumstances, accommodations can be made for moving service before 8:00 am or after 4:00 pm. On the day of your service, your project will be assigned a Team Leader and he will text you when he is in route to your house. If you need additional preparation time, you are able to call or text our office anytime at 248-926-9999 and receive multiple updates.
What Happens on Move Day for an Internal Move?
When the Team Leader arrives at your house, he will have all the details of your project and will arrive prepared with the right moving equipment. Rest assured, all of our movers are background checked and are actual company employees of Professional Movers.com. The team will introduce themselves and perform a walkthrough to review everything and make sure nothing has changed. Before they start, they will ask to collect a signature to verify the valuation option you would like as well as the starting signature.
From here, you can sit back and relax because our move team is highly trained and will deliver on the professional experience that we promised. Once completed, the Team Leader will ask you if you would like anything else rearranged or adjusted and pending your satisfaction, they will collect an ending signature and collect payment. If you are super thrilled with the move experience you are free to tip the move team. Our goal is to leave you so happy you would be willing to share the positive experience of working with our local family business with your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and social network.
How Much Does Internal Moving Cost?
We typically charge by the hour for internal moving services. The hourly rate is determined by the number of movers and vehicles needed to get them to your house. During peak season (May thru September) small moves are charged a minimum of four hours. This includes three hours of moving labor time and one hour transportation time charge. The transportation charge covers the time to and from our warehouse.
During non-peak season (October thru April) small moves are charged a minimum of three hours. This includes 2 hours of moving labor time and one hour transportation time charge. In the event that moving requires more time than the minimum time, the final bill would reflect the actual time plus a transportation time charge. In the event the move is completed in less time than the minimum, the minimum 3 or 4-hour charge would apply.
How Can I Save Money on An Internal Move?
Piggybacking is the best way to reduce costs on an internal move. What is piggybacking? Piggybacking is where Professional Movers.com will combine your internal move with another move that is happening on the same day in your neighborhood or very close. For example, let’s say you live in the Bellagio neighborhood in Novi, MI near Beck Road and Nine Mile Road. Our Scheduling team is going to search out a day and time on our calendar where we are servicing another move within a few miles and look to perform your move on the same day either before or after the other move. To be eligible for the piggybacking scenario, customers are required to be flexible with your move date and start time. Meaning your determined move date and time would be scheduled for when the timing is best for Professional Movers.com. As a benefit for you being flexible, Professional Movers.com will be able to reduce your overall charges and save you money on your internal moving project.
Keep in mind, piggybacking your move is never required, it’s done as an optional way to help save our customers money. You are ALWAYS free to schedule your move through the traditional method, where you pick the day and time that you would like to schedule services.
What if I Have a Small Local Move from House to House?
So you were searching Facebook Marketplace and found the perfect antique armoire that will look great in your upstairs bedroom. Only problem is, how are you going to move this big heavy piece of furniture from Northville, MI to your house in Royal Oak, MI? Or maybe you have some furniture that you would like to gift and have delivered to a family member or local donation center. The task seems simple enough, but you are going to need a truck. Plus, lifting and moving any furniture, especially heavy awkward pieces of furniture without scratching your walls and causing damage is something that will take the kind of skills that a normal weekend warrior might lack.
The simple solution? Call or text Professional Movers.com at 248-926-9999. No move is too small, our Moving Consultant will provide you with a cost-effective plan and you can count on our team of friendly, intelligent, and highly trained movers to deliver a professional experience.
How Do I Hire and Schedule Movers for A Small Move?
Scheduling professional movers for a small move follows the same process you would take for coordinating a big move or an internal move. Our Moving Consultant can host a quick video call so you can show them everything you would like moved. They will identify any items that need to be disconnected, or identify if any of your furniture will require special preparations such as stretch-wrapping any white or light-colored upholstery before being moved. We make the video call simple by texting you an access link to your cell phone and you can click the link and instantly be connected with our expert move consultants. It’s like FaceTime and our customers love the simplicity. You show us all of your furniture and the space where you would like it moved and in under 15 minutes, we will have all the information we need to determine how many movers you need and how long it might take to complete your small move.
The video call is also the perfect chance for you to ask any questions regarding the small move. If coordinating a video call is challenging due to your busy schedule, then just take some pictures of the items to be moved and text them directly to us at 248-926-9999. Our Moving Consultant will follow-up with a traditional phone call.
What is Considered a Small Move?
A small move usually consists of moving only a few items of furniture or other household items or moving boxes. The typical small move usually consists of less than 20 pieces of furniture and generally consists of items that 2 movers can handle.
Got only a few pieces of furniture, but the furniture is really heavy and needs more than 2 movers? No problem, we have over 30 trained local movers here in Michigan. Every mover is background checked and are actual employees of Professional Movers.com. We are ready and growing with 3 locations in metro Detroit, including Walled Lake, Detroit, and Rochester.
