Our expertly trained moving consultant will visit your home and prepare a detailed and accurate estimate of all your moving costs. We also offer scheduled trips to Washington, Oregon, California and Arizona.
Moves are calculated based on variables that need to be determined in advance. To help us get an accurate estimate of your move, use one of the three methods below:

4 bedrooms/4 people
9000 - 10,000 lbs
4 bedrooms/5 people
11,000 - 12,000 lbs
B:
Every room in a normally furnished home has about 1000 lbs of belongings. This is about 150 cubic feet. So, just count the number of rooms in your home, multiply by 1000 to get the weight and divide by 6.5 to get the volume. For example, 8 rooms x 1000 = 8000 lbs. 8000 lbs / 6.5 = 1230 cubic feet.
