There is always room for additional information. Below are a few commonly asked moving questions we receive. If yours is not answered below, feel free to give us a call or email!
We offer straight-forward and extremely competitive pricing for our services!
Labor. Our labor is charged at an hourly rate with a 3-hour/2-mover minimum. For billing purposes, the time starts when our truck arrives and stops when you are satisfied with the placement of your items. We then calculate the number of hours worked (rounded to the nearest 15 minute incremate) then bill accordingly.
Travel. This covers transportation (fuel, vehicle mileage) and materials. Materials include protective blankets & stretch wrap, dollies, and other safety tools.
Every home is different and therefore the time required to move varies depending on your specific needs. The average time expected to move may vary as such:
| Studio/1 Bedroom (600sqft) | 2-3hrs |
| 2 Bedrooms (800sqft) | 3-5hrs |
| 3 Bedrooms (1300sqft) | 4-6hrs (2-3 movers) |
| 4 Bedrooms (1800sqft) | 6-7hrs (3-4 movers) |
| 5 Bedrooms (2000+sqft) | 7-9hrs (4-5 movers) |
While we are able to move a majority of your items, there are a few which we are prohibited from moving. These are things such as, propane tanks, firearms, expensive jewelry, cash, and illegal/prescription drugs. We recommend that you make special accommodations for these types of items to be transported to your new home.
We proudly offer discounts to our community seniors and members of the United States armed forces.
Unfortunately there are items that our movers are unable to ship.
These items include:
Our movers are hired employees of Skyline Moving Service. We personally vet every candidate to ensure they meet the high quality standards of our company prior to employment. This allows us to consistently provide our customers with a great moving experience.
Every move comes with basic released valuation coverage at no additional charge. The maximum payout for each claimed item with basic released valuation is $0.60 per pound. If full coverage of your items is preferred, we have a partnership with Moving Insurance that can be provided. It is the shipper’s responsibility to accept or decline the additional, full coverage prior to scheduling the move.
For long-distance moves originating in Las Vegas, we complete an on-site in order to inventory items planned for shipping. Once the inventory is documented we will provide you with a binding estimate.
Our customers may sometimes need a hand in preparing for their upcoming move. In this case, we can provide professional packing services as necessary. We will oftentimes schedule a date prior to your actual move date to pack, prepare, and stage your items and furniture. This ensures you are ready to go before we begin loading. We can also support your Storage In Transit (SIT) needs. SIT may be needed when delays occur in your move schedule, such as home closing issues, remodeling, structural delays, etc. Feel free to reach out to our team to discuss options on how we can further support your move.
We understand that there may be numerous factors affecting your timeline for shipping and receiving your items. We will make every effort to work within your timeline with our express moving process. Express moving enables you to select an available pick-up date, we will load your items into the truck, and your items will be on their way within 24 hours of pick-up. We can discuss SIT options in cases where your new home is not ready to receive shipment.
