Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Your Move?

Hiring a professional mover will result in a less stressful, easier and safer move all around. Moving can be both emotionally and physically draining and handling delicate or bulky items with care requires specific moving skills and experience. Moving safely and successfully requires specialized equipment and experience, not unlike other trades.

Summertime is the busiest season for movers, so if you're looking to move during that time, you should contact your movers sooner rather than later. We recommend about 4 to 6 weeks before your moving date to give our team enough time to assess your move, give you a proper estimate and, finally, book your move date. We realize advance planning is not always possible, and we will do our best to accommodate last minute customers as well.

Contact us or use our easy booking form to get a free estimate for your residential, commercial or storage move. We can also offer an estimate for our packing services, so you know what to expect for your next move.

Usually, a sales representative will be able to give you a good idea of the working time it might take to complete the job and price range you’re looking for over the phone. But for the most accurate estimate, Butler Moving recommends an on-site appointment to review details of your move.

On moving day, our professional team will do a few minutes walkthrough around your property with you, after that we will do a pre-pack/ packing service (if needed) and after that we will start loading your belongings into our truck. You won't have to worry about a thing. Our movers will handle everything, so you can sit back and relax.

If you need to change the date of your move, contact your movers as soon as possible and discuss an alternative date.

When the movers first arrive, they will do a walk through of your current home, confirming which items are going and which are not.

Absolutely. When we deliver your items to your new home the movers will work closely with you to make sure all furniture and boxes arrive in the correct rooms, and we are happy to arrange and rearrange the furniture exactly as you would like it.

Yes! We understand that moving can be stressful for everyone. That's why our team makes sure to provide extra compassion and excellent customer service for seniors on their moving day. We are happy to provide the best possible care for every moving day, but understand that some of our customers require more time and understanding when they're moving.

You are not required to put in any effort if you hire professional movers. On the other hand, if you want to help, you will be more than welcome to do so. The best thing you could do is to offer some refreshments, keep your home safe and keep your children focused on other things so they don’t get in the way.

Keep in mind that moving is both a science and an art, and each move is different. The best way to keep costs down is to be as prepared as possible for when the movers arrive, which will reduce or eliminate unexpected/unnecessary time.

Another time saver, if we are not packing for you, is for you to use the same size boxes and be sure they are taped closed and labeled correctly for the movers. Stack them up, so the movers can just place them on the dolly and go. Also, while the movers will be happy to do so, disassembly of furniture takes up time as well. You can try to disassemble any beds, desks, etc. to cut down on time. In short anything that you can do yourself or anything that can help the movers move faster will cut down on your cost.

Yes! Our team can certainly help you with your next corporate or commercial move. We understand the importance of getting your business back online and running and will help you get moved into your new space without a hitch. Please see our page on commercial moving here for more information.

Yes, we are a fully licensed and insured moving company! Our movers are professionally trained and knowledgeable about how to carry furniture and other interior items with professional equipment. We always wrap your furniture and appliances in blankets to protect them from scratches or damages. When choosing a moving company, it is very important you find one that is licensed and insured. It is always worth paying the extra dollar for higher quality service!

Our team believes in providing exceptional care and white-glove service for every moving job we are involved in. When you choose Butler Moving, you can trust your items are being handled with extreme care, and you will always get service with a smile. Learn more about our Florida-based moving company here.

We had an exceptional experience with Butler Moving and Dmytriy! From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. They took great care of our belongings, ensuring everything was handled with care and arrived in perfect condition. On top of their expertise, Dmytriy was so personable and easy to work with, which made the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend Butler Moving for anyone in need of a reliable and efficient moving company. Thank you for such outstanding service!

Butler Moving was such an amazing company to work with. Not only were they the most cost efficient company to work with in my area but they productivity and work ethics were top of the line. I am moving out of state but if I ever needed another moving company in Florida or if I come across anyone that needs a recommendation, Butler Moving is the #1 company to go with it! They made my stressful move a lot more tolerable. Thanks soooo much guys!

Dmyitry answered my call right away, was upfront and transparent about pricing, and was able to help on very short notice. The actual movers were very friendly and professional, and were careful with my things. Great service overall.

Dmytriy and colleague did a great job of moving some large appliances and cabinets today - they got the job done in half the quoted time and were very careful and professional.

We were in a bad situation because our mover canceled unexpectedly the day of the move. These kind folks came out and took care of us. They were very efficient loading, unloading and setting up furniture. They were very professional and friendly as well. Highly recommended.
