Are you planning to move? Moving homes or offices in Moraga, CA can be a big decision with a lot of moving parts (pun intended). That's where Wirefly comes in. We make it easy for you to find and compare the best moving companies in Moraga, CA, including home movers, office movers, long distance movers, international movers, and auto transport companies to make your move as simple and pain free as possible.
Finding the right moving company can be a pain. Whether it means moving from one part of Moraga, CA to another, or if it means moving into or out of the city completely, picking among the many moving companies in the area is a challenge. It is important to remember that each state has its own jurisdiction regarding long-distance moving, so keeping the move to as short of a distance as possible is essential. Focusing on a local move is much more simplistic and means removing the headaches of dealing with different state regulations. For instances where moves are kept local to the Moraga, CA area, it is essential to find the right moving company for the task, and here are some things to consider on this matter.
Some concerns that are part of a long-distance move to another state are just the same as moves to another part of Moraga, CA. Therefore, performing research before the move takes place is essential to finding a company with the right services for the move at hand. A few questions need to be asked with any move, and they include the following: What size truck should be ordered? Who is doing the packing, the person moving or the moving company? Will a storage facility need to be rented to hold extra items that will not fit into the new move or that do not need to be used right away to limit the amount of items being moved? Does the moving company being considered keep employees certified with the proper licenses and insurances? The moving companies we match you with all have the certifications that are needed. Two other items that need to be addressed are whether or not the budget for the move allows room for the moving company and whether not a proper comparison of the companies has been performed.
As far as long-distance moves are concerned, they all fit into that category whether there’s one state line being crossed or several on the way to the consumer’s next home. Long distance moves also cover situations where the move ends at a city within the original state, but the moving route crosses a state line at some point to make the trip shorter. This is a common scenario for states that have uneven state lines, such as Texas, Wisconsin, Idaho, Minnesota and quite a few others.
The federal governing body that licenses long-distance moving companies in Moraga, CA is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which covers the residential moving and trucking industries. They also set up and enforce the regulations for long-distance moves. Wirefly verifies that all the movers in its network have the requisite insurance and licensing, but it’s still a good idea for consumers to look into moving companies on their own. While doing so, the consumer can check out a company’s performance records. The USDOT website is helpful for reviewing long-distance moving companies, and it will have accident and complaint reports available.
Of course, long distance moves tend to cost more than local moves. It’s important for consumers to remember that there are several factors that go into the cost of a move, and just because one moving company has the lowest quote doesn’t mean that will be the cheapest option. There could be services the consumer needs that aren’t included in one or more of the companies’ quotes, such as assistance packing up possessions. It’s common for moving quotes to only cover the most basic moving services and for any other services to cost extra. Consumers can avoid unexpected charges by getting a binding moving estimate from the moving company they choose, which has a list of all anticipated costs and guarantees that the moving company isn’t going to add any hidden costs. In setting up a long distance move, consumers in Moraga, CA will also need to figure out if they’d like to pack their belongings and then fly to their new home before the movers arrive, or if it’s better to rent a truck and move their belongings themselves.
Moving to a new country is stressful to even think about, and moving all your belongings internationally can throw anyone into a panic attack.

Office moving in Moraga, CA is different than residential moving. Large equipment such as computer systems, copy machines, phone systems, and servers as well as many small items require a moving company with expertise in handling office moves. We can recommend office movers who are licensed, insured, and knowledgeable with such tasks as taking apart cubicles, moving technology safely, and bringing durable crates to ensure that small items can be moved safely.
It can be difficult with a business to find a time in which business activities can be suspended long enough for a move to take place. Moving offices can be disruptive to the business process, and in some cases it may not be practical to suspend all activities. A moving company may not be able to avoid working around employees and clients. Your business may not have the luxury of being able to unload and unpack its items in a concerted way over a period of days, when moving companies may load and unload all your items in 24 hours or less.
