Even though it’s just a local move, having a timeline (e.g., 6–8 weeks out) and a moving plan helps keep tasks organized — from packing to utility transfers — and reduces last-minute stress.

Housing Market: Zillow reports the average home value in 2026 is $478,988, down 1.1% from 2025. While prices have dipped slightly year over year, home values have risen significantly over the past decade and continue to trend upward overall.

Cost of Living: Payscale notes that Tacoma’s cost of living runs about 23% higher than the national average, driven largely by higher housing costs, though utilities are actually a bit cheaper than in many parts of the country.

FAQ

Our full service moves can range in cost between $150-$180 an hour for two men and a truck.

We offer a wide range of services to help with different types of moves.

  • Packing and unpacking
  • Furniture assembly and disassembly
  • Home good transportation
  • Local, long distance and international moves

Yes! Our Tacoma location features a 30,000 sq. ft. climate-controlled storage warehouse. All of our facilities are pest-controlled, flood-protected, and under 24/7 surveillance—and we also have locations in Kent and Everett.

We offer three kinds of coverage for your move.

Released Value Coverage: Basic protection that comes with every move. Your mover is responsible for covering you for 60 cents per pound per article

Full Value Protection: Requires an extra fee. If something is lost or damaged, the company will repair, replace, or reimburse you for the item’s current market value.

Items of Extraordinary Value Declaration: If you have items worth $100 or more per pound, you need to tell the movers before the move. They’ll give you a special form to list these valuable items.

The best times to move are during the winter and spring when moving company schedules are at their lowest. The peak time for moving is the summer and it can be much more difficult to schedule movers during this time. 

Booking 4-6 weeks in advance is generally recommended for local moves.

Tipping your moving team isn’t required, but it’s always appreciated. Our movers are paid for the time they spend on your job.

If you’re looking for another way to say thanks, leaving a review and mentioning the team members who made your move a great experience means a lot to us.
