Reliable Movers

We are called Reliable Movers for a reason. Mike and Jennifer have run this company since 1996, and they are personally involved in your move. That is the difference between a name on a truck and a family business that has staked its reputation on every job for nearly 30 years.

Common questions

The answers most people
ask before booking.

How much does it cost to move an average 3-bedroom home locally?
Reliable Movers offers all-inclusive flat-rate pricing. The average three-bedroom home fills a 26-foot truck and runs around $2,500 all-inclusive. That price covers the truck, labor, fuel, furniture pads, shrink wrap, basic disassembly and reassembly, and basic released-value insurance. Crews typically range from 2 to 7 movers depending on the home.
Does Reliable Movers offer packing services?
Yes. Professional packing is available at $28 per box, all-inclusive (box, materials, and labor). A typical full pack on a three-bedroom home runs 70 to 90 boxes. Partial packing focused on the kitchen, china cabinet, and breakables typically runs 20 to 30 boxes.
Can Reliable Movers move large or bulky items like pianos, gun safes, and hot tubs?
Yes. We have specialized equipment and trained crews for pianos (uprights, baby grands, and concert grands), gun safes up to 2,000+ pounds, hot tubs and spas, commercial equipment, and oversized antique furniture.
Does Reliable Movers offer storage solutions?
Yes. We offer climate-controlled storage for both short-term and long-term needs. Common use cases include bridging a gap between closing dates, restoration work, and seasonal storage for lake homes.
Why is flat rate better than hourly pricing?
Hourly pricing creates uncertainty. A 5-hour estimate can easily turn into 10 hours with inexperienced crews, and the company has no incentive to work efficiently. Flat-rate pricing locks your cost at quote time. You know exactly what you will pay before move day, and the price does not change because the day ran long.
Do you offer interstate moving from New York?
Yes. We provide interstate moving from Central New York to destinations across the East Coast, Northeast, and Midwest. Common destinations include North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, and beyond. Every interstate move is handled by our own full-time crews. No brokers, no subcontractors.
