Full-Service Moving: From Local Moves to Cross-Country Relocations

May 5, 2026 6 min read Extra Help Moving

Every Move, Every Size, Every Distance

Whether you're moving across town or across the country, Extra Help Moving connects you with verified professionals who handle it all. Here's a complete guide to the moving services available through our platform.

Local Moves

Moves under 100 miles within the same metro area. Most local moves are completed in a single day and are priced by the hour or as a flat rate.

Common local move services:

  • Loading and unloading your rental truck
  • Full-service local moves with truck and crew
  • Apartment moves (including high-rise buildings)
  • Same-day and last-minute moves

Long-Distance Moves

Relocations over 100 miles, often crossing state lines. Long-distance moves require more planning and are typically priced by weight and distance.

What to expect:

  • Detailed inventory and weight estimate
  • Multi-day transit with tracking updates
  • Storage options if needed between moves
  • Interstate licensing (all our movers are DOT/MC verified)

Packing & Unpacking

Don't want to deal with boxes and bubble wrap? Many movers on our platform offer professional packing and unpacking services.

  • Full packing — every item in your home
  • Partial packing — just the fragile or specialty items
  • Unpacking at your new home
  • Packing materials included

Loading & Unloading Only

Already rented your own truck or container? Hire professional movers just for the heavy lifting.

  • Load your rental truck, pod, or container
  • Unload at destination
  • Furniture disassembly and reassembly

Commercial & Office Moves

Moving a business requires specialized handling — from IT equipment to office furniture to confidential documents.

  • Cubicle and office furniture disassembly/reassembly
  • IT equipment handling
  • After-hours and weekend moves to minimize disruption
  • Asset tracking and inventory management

Specialty Item Transport

Some items need extra care — pianos, antiques, artwork, pool tables, safes, and more. Our platform lets you specify specialty items so movers with the right equipment and experience can respond.
