Before your Kent Moving Quote: Moving Tips

Here are some helpful tips to ensure your move with Lincoln is as organized, efficient and stress-free as possible:

  • Consider organizing and decluttering your belongings about 4-6 weeks before your move. Downsizing will save you money.
  • Label each box with the room name. Include a contents list.
  • Add the word “Fragile” to any box that contains something breakable, like plates and glasses.
  • Put together a “first-night” box and keep it with you. It should have items such as toiletries, important documents, chargers, clothes and anything else you think you might need right away.
  • A few days before your move date, contact your moving coordinator to double-check your move date, arrival time, and contact information.
  • Check to make sure your mover will add padding for entryways, hallways, and floors before the move begins.
  • Make sure you are either on-site or reachable throughout the move to answer questions and provide placement directions during unloading.

The city’s industrial base provides thousands of jobs while maintaining a diverse economy that includes retail, healthcare and service sectors. Kent’s nickname is the “Warehouse City,” and employers include Boeing and other manufacturers, and Amazon fulfillment centers.

Kent continues to experience steady growth and development. The city’s downtown has seen revitalization in recent years, featuring local restaurants, shops and the historic Kent Station shopping and entertainment complex. This development, combined with relatively affordable housing compared to nearby Seattle, makes Kent an attractive option for families and businesses.

Kent, WA Local Mover Frequently Asked Questions

Moving costs in Kent can vary. Local movers usually charge by the hour, and the number of movers needed. Long-distance moves are based on the total weight of your belongings and the distance traveled. Other factors affecting the price include the time of year, additional services requested and the complexity of the move. Obstacles like stairs or how far a truck must park from the move location can add costs.

“For moves within the same city, most totals fall between $650 and $6,000, depending on home size and job conditions.” according to FreightWaves.

Lincoln Moving & Storage is committed to transparent pricing. Senior Vice President Danny DiJulio says customers get “detailed estimates that break down all costs, so they know exactly what they’re paying for.”

Start your Kent move with Lincoln today by filling out our online form or calling us at (800) 426-4780.

We are a mover with three warehouse locations, full-time, background-checked crews and dozens of trucks. We handle everything directly, from packing, loading, transporting and unloading your belongings with our equipment and staff.

A broker is a middleman and doesn’t own trucks or employ movers. Instead, they sell your move to the lowest-bidding moving company. This can create several risks, including poor communication that may lead to last-minute price increases and a lack of accountability, since the broker isn’t responsible for any damages or problems because they didn’t perform the move.

Kent moving companies generally offer comprehensive services to accommodate various moving needs. These typically include:

  • Supply of packing materials
  • Full packing and unpacking
  • Furniture disassembly and reassembly
  • Loading and unloading of moving trucks
  • Transportation of belongings
  • Specialized handling of delicate items

Many Kent movers also offer additional services, such as storage solutions. Lincoln Moving & Storage provides all these services for moves in Kent, says owner Chris DiJulio.

Many Kent moving companies offer packing and unpacking services to save customers time and ensure items are properly protected during the move. These services can range from full-home packing to partial packing of specific items or rooms. According to Updater, “Movers will pack almost everything — almost. Call ahead to get a list of items that the movers won’t handle.”

Lincoln Moving & Storage’s professional packers are trained to handle items of all sizes and values carefully. “Our moving crew can pack your entire home or focus on specific areas, always using high-quality materials to ensure your items are safe and secure during the move,” says Tacoma General Manager Tony Bouie.

Several moving companies in Kent offer options for customers who need short- or long-term storage during their move.

Lincoln Moving & Storage offers secure storage options at our 57,000-sq.-ft. Kent facility. Our modern storage warehouse features round-the-clock surveillance and climate control. Vice President Danny DiJulio states, “Lincoln Moving & Storage offers both short-term and long-term storage options to meet your needs. These options can be used for home renovations or excess inventory.”

When you’re moving to or from Kent, it’s important to know how your items will be protected. Moving companies offer different ways to protect your belongings if they are lost or damaged during the move. They call these “valuation options.” Most moving companies offer a few main types of protection:

  1. Basic Liability Coverage: This comes standard with every move but offers minimal protection. According to the FMCSA, the mover is responsible for no more than 72 cents per pound per article under this option.
  2. Full Value Protection: For an additional fee, this provides more comprehensive coverage. The FMCSA states, “Under Full Value Protection, your mover is responsible for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods in your entire shipment. This is the more comprehensive, but also more expensive, option for protecting your belongings.”
  3. Items of Extraordinary Value Declaration: A special form is required for items worth $100 or more per pound.

 

At Lincoln Moving & Storage, we offer all these protection options for your move in the Kent area. “We can guide you through each option and even create custom plans if needed, ensuring you find the right level of protection for your needs and budget,” says Senior Vice President of Lincoln Moving & Storage, Danny DiJulio, who has over 25 years of experience in the moving industry.

If you’re moving to Kent, it’s a good idea to book your movers as soon as possible. This is especially true if you’re planning to move during the busy summer months. For moves within Kent, try to book 4-6 weeks in advance.

If you’re moving farther away, it’s best to plan even earlier – about 8-12 weeks ahead. According to moveBuddha, “Ideally, you will book the movers at least two months in advance, especially if you plan to move during the summer months.”

Lincoln Moving & Storage recommends booking early for all moves in Kent. Chris DiJulio, the company’s owner, explains why this is important: “When you schedule early, you’re more likely to get the moving date you want. It also gives us enough time to properly plan your move’s details.”

When choosing a moving company in Kent, ensure they have the right licenses and insurance. The company should be registered with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission if you’re moving within Washington state. It’s important to check this before hiring them. They need a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number for interstate moves, which you can verify using the FMCSA Mover Database.

Lincoln Moving & Storage maintains all necessary licenses and insurance for operations in Kent and beyond. We comply with state and federal regulations. You can verify our USDOT number and state registration at any time. Our license numbers are:

  • USDOT License #153161
  • MC License #339
