Total volume and weight of items – A larger home usually means more effort and space required.
Packing Services – Hiring professionals to pack ensures safe transport of your belongings but is an extra cost.
Specialty Moving – Moving valuable or difficult-to-move pieces like antiques, pianos, or large furniture increases the cost due to special handling.
Storage Solutions – Storing your belongings before or after a move adds another layer of cost.
