Hiring the right movers to help you transition from your old place to your new one can be exhausting. From sifting through endless reviews online to repeating the same information to countless people just to get a quote, it’s not exactly an enjoyable task. On top of that, you have to decide whether you want the movers to assist with everything or just the heavy lifting. If you’re searching for a team that can handle it all, a mover that offers custom services is the way to go. Fortunately, we know a great one. 

Maffucci Moving & Storage offers customers custom services for preparing for both residential and commercial moves so that they get precisely the sort of help they’re looking for—nothing more, nothing less. We offer door-to-door tracking capabilities and direct access to your team at all times so that you maintain control of your personally-tailored moving plan. 

What Are Custom Moving Services?

Custom services are designed to make your move smoother and more efficient. Uniquely tailored moving plans fit your requirements to minimize stress and maximize our care and attention to detail. We will work with you to create a packing, transportation, and delivery timeline that is best suited to your preferences. Go beyond the standard moving plan with specialized services.

What Types of Custom Services Do Movers Typically Offer?

Movers can offer various custom services to make your relocation more manageable. Customized services may include specialized packing and handling, installation and setup, and more.  

Specialized Packing and Handling 

• Crating: Custom crates for fragile or valuable items (e.g., art, antiques, and pianos).
• Furniture disassembly and reassembly: Taking apart and putting together (e.g., beds, office furniture, and pool tables).
• Packing: Specialized packing for delicate items (e.g., TVs, clocks, and computers).

Installation and Setup

• Gas hookups: Disconnecting and connecting gas ranges for dryers, fireplaces, and gas log systems.
• IT: Installing audio-visual equipment or other technology.
• Hanging: Putting up artwork, mirrors, and other hanging decorations.
• Rigging and hoisting: Using cranes and other specialized equipment to move heavy or oversized items.

Other Services

• Cleaning service: Moving companies may have dedicated crews to clean your house after moving out and before moving in, or they might partner with a third-party vendor.
• Storage: Your mover might offer short-term or long-term storage. A trustworthy mover will have a large warehouse to store your items, and pricing will depend on how much you have.
• Removal: Your moving company may offer a debris removal service, meaning they’ll remove all the empty packing materials when you leave.
• Travel: Some movers can help plan and coordinate your flight, car rental, and hotel arrangements when you move to your new home.
• Car transport: Many professional movers provide auto transport if you’re not planning to drive to your new home, which is particularly helpful for those on a time crunch. 

Do All Moving Companies Offer Custom Services?

Unfortunately, not all moving companies offer the same type of services. Some offer packages that include everything from packing to unpacking, while others only work in specific areas like fragile item handling or storage. Many companies allow customers to “plug and play” to create a unique plan that meets their needs. 

How Can I Find a Moving Company That Offers Custom Services?

To find a moving company that offers customized services, we recommend conducting research into local movers. Look for companies that advertise full-service options or provide tailored services such as packing, unloading, and specialized handling of fragile items. You can also check for recognitions from Bekins, the BBB, NASMM, NAPO, and ATA MSC for an idea of the type of services the mover may provide. 

Can I Request Only Certain Services, Like Packing or Loading?

You can absolutely request only certain services instead of a full-service move. As mentioned, many companies provide customers the option to select specific services they desire, such as box selection, packing, unpacking, loading, and driving, to ensure satisfaction. In some cases, you may prefer a labor-only moving company, which focuses exclusively on loading and unloading. They represent a cost-effective solution for those who do not require the complete moving package yet still seek assistance with the physically challenging aspects of the move.

Are Custom Moving Services Available for Long-Distance or International Moves?

Yes, custom moving services are available for long-distance and international moves, but not with every move. Many companies have a designated team to handle long-distance residential and international moves that understands the specific challenges and logistics involved in such travels. These services can include packing, custom crating, storage, car transport, and tracking to ensure prompt scheduled deliveries and meet each client’s unique needs. This availability should give you the confidence that your unique needs can be met. 

Ready for a Move That Fits Your Needs?

For the last 100 years, Maffucci has built a reputation as one of the most trusted and reliable moving and storage companies in the area. We’ve moved far too many items to count that can’t be transported in your run-of-the-mill box.

Our customers always know we’ll carefully handle their fine art, antiquities, electronics, and instruments. 

At Maffucci Moving, we specialize in custom moving solutions designed around you. Whether you need full-service packing, specialty item handling, or flexible scheduling, our team is here to make your move seamless.
