Every home is unique, just like each customer. That's why no two homes are the same. At Bend Brothers Moving, we've developed a comprehensive guide based on the average household size and expected furnishings. It's a helpful reference to get an idea of what to expect. However, please keep in mind that the final cost will be determined by the actual time required. We're more than happy to provide an in-person estimate, so you can have a clear understanding of the cost involved in your move. To view our moving guide, please click here.

At Bend Brothers Moving, we prioritize the protection of your belongings during the move. You can count on us because we are fully licensed and insured. We offer two insurance options to safeguard your belongings when we are transporting your household goods: released value protection and replacement cost protection. 

With released value protection, damaged items are covered at a value of 60 cents per pound per article, and the best part is, it's absolutely free! Alternatively, you can opt for replacement cost protection. This comprehensive option values goods at $6.00 per pound times the weight of the shipment or the declared lump sum value, whichever is higher. The cost for replacement cost protection is determined based on the declared lump sum value, estimated at a rate of $.85 per each $100.00 of value. For example, if you declare your belongings at a lump sum value of $40,000, the cost would be $340.00.

To ensure a smooth and worry-free move, we carry essential insurance coverage such as Business Liability, Cargo Insurance, Business Auto, and Workers Comp for our employees. At Bend Brothers Moving, we are committed to providing excellent service, and we are more than happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance.

The following items must be excluded from your move: medication, jewelry, important documents, items of innumerable value, cash, alcohol, firearms/ammunition, chemicals, dirty items that may soil your belongings or the truck, flammable items, liquid items or items that may leak substances that may soil your belongings or the truck, and any items that potentially present a biohazard to our crews. 

1. Choose Experienced and Reliable Movers. Success in moving is reflected in efficient work which cuts down on the overall time you are then paying for. A team of well-trained workers can adequately protect, transfer, dismantle, or install all your belongings. When it comes to moving, trust Bend Brothers Moving for your apartment or business space. As a reputable and dependable moving company, we prioritize speed, efficiency, and our extensive years of experience.
2. To ensure a smooth moving process, it is important to properly pack anything that fits into a box. By utilizing appropriate boxes of similar size, we can efficiently transport your belongings, reducing both time and cost. Moreover, this method safeguards your valuables from any potential damage. If you require boxes, we have a wide selection available for your convenience.
3. For additional efficiency, you can stage the boxes closest to the loading point, such as the garage if applicable. This will further streamline the moving process, minimizing time and effort.
4. One thing that customers sometimes overlook is the importance of where the truck is parked. It's crucial to consider that a less optimal parking spot can lead to longer moving times. Loading and unloading will take more time, and factors like stairs can further increase the overall duration. It's always beneficial to park the truck legally and in an efficient location. As the customer, it is your responsibility to ensure a legal parking spot is secured prior to moving day. 

Bend Brothers Moving kindly requests that dressers, nightstands, cabinets, and drawers be emptied, while allowing the drawers to remain in place. This applies even if you are moving from a single-level home to another first-floor location. Our aim is to avoid placing excessive strain on our movers' backs and to maintain the integrity of your furniture. It may be necessary to tilt these items on their side during loading and unloading, and having weight inside the drawers could potentially damage the interior walls. Thank you for understanding and helping us ensure a smooth moving process.

While our professional movers will handle the heavy lifting on moving day (and there is no expectation for customers to help, that's why you hired us!), some customers choose to lend a hand to make their move more efficient and cost-effective.

However, for safety reasons, we cannot have customers on our moving truck, using the ramp, or assisting our movers with carrying items. Nevertheless, you can contribute by bringing moving boxes to the side of the truck or staging them in the garage, which can help save both time and money. Just be mindful of walkways and hallways where our team may be navigating while carrying furniture.

Your assistance in these areas will be greatly appreciated.

At Bend Brothers Moving, we understand that unexpected changes in moving plans can happen. From home closings to new construction delays, we know how important flexibility is. If you find yourself needing to reschedule or cancel your move, we kindly request 7 days' advance notice from your scheduled move date. As a small moving company, our employees rely heavily on scheduled hours, and this allows us to backfill that day.
