Custom Seattle Moving Solutions

Discover our vast options of professional moving and storage services. We personalize each program to cater to your specific needs and requirements.

Local Movers

Moving down the street or across town, CMS has decades of experience moving customers locally. Large or small, we have the expertise and resources to get you to and from where you need to go. A local Seattle move is defined as a move within 50 miles of the city of Seattle. Hiring local movers can offer a cost-benefit that provides you with time savings and a stress-free moving experience.

Our local team can help customize your move to fit you and your family’s specific needs, including but not limited to loading, unloading, transportation, packing, unpacking, short or long-term storage, and debris removal. The first step is to have a representative look at everything you are moving; we offer virtual, and in-person estimate appointments. You will then receive an accurate, written moving quote with costs based on the size and scope of your move and quoted at an hourly labor rate for the men and hours needed to complete your move.

Interstate Movers

An interstate move is defined as a move that crosses state lines. CMS has been helping customers relocate interstate for decades. Our experience, expertise, and nationwide network allow us to deliver premium, customized moving services that exceed expectations. Moving is one of the top five most stressful life events, and hiring a professional mover can help eliminate much of the stress that comes with it.

Letting trained movers handle the heavy lifting, packing, and transportation saves you both time and worry. As you prepare for your family’s interstate relocation, be sure to research and choose a reputable mover with the proven experience to make your move less stressful, not more

The cost of an interstate move is determined by the weight and mileage of your shipment. The best way to get an accurate quote is to schedule a virtual or in-home walk-through so the moving company can assess the full scope of your move. On moving day, the last thing you want is unexpected charges or delays; a trusted interstate mover helps ensure everything goes according to plan.

International Movers

Preparing for an international move involves more moving parts than moving locally or across the country. International moving includes a new home, new culture, and a long paper trail for customs clearance. CMS has been assisting families with global moving needs for years. Our team is educated, experienced, and well-versed in the entire process and will be sure to relieve the stress you have surrounding the relocation. Every CMS customer is assigned a dedicated moving relocation specialist who will be your single point of contact throughout the relocation process.

Storage

In addition to local or long-distance moving services, CMS offers an array of storage solutions to help fit your customized moving needs. Our state-of-the-art warehouse can hold your household goods for short- and long-term storage plans. Your household goods will be loaded safely and securely into wooden vaults and stacked within our warehouse. Each storage vault holds approximately 1,000 lbs of household goods which equates to about one bedroom’s worth.

The need for storage can differ from customer to customer, and some may need to store goods between pickup and delivery, to stage a home to sell, or more long-term storage for items that they do not need at their residence but aren’t quite ready to part with. No matter the reason for your storage needs, we can create a plan that makes the most sense for your needs.

FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

Moving locally in Seattle is typically billed by the hour, depending on your home size, crew requirements, and how long the move takes. For the most precise estimate, schedule a free virtual or in-home consultation.

Long-distance or cross-country moves are calculated by the total weight of your belongings, the mileage to your new location, and the time of year. Summer moves generally cost more due to demand. The best way to get a tailored estimate is to schedule a virtual or in-home estimate.

Instead of scheduling an in-person walkthrough, you can connect with a certified moving specialist on a secure video call. Using the United Van Lines Virtual Survey app, you’ll show your household items with your phone’s camera. It’s simple, accurate, and convenient.

Our standard moving services include:

  • Protection of home floors and doorways
  • Pad-wrapping furniture for protection
  • Disassembly and reassembly of basic furniture (like beds)
  • Loading, transportation, and unloading of your household goods

We offer a variety of optional services to make your move easier, including:

  • Professional packing and unpacking
  • Debris removal
  • Shuttle service (if truck access is limited)
  • Third-party services such as appliance disconnection, pool table disassembly, crating of fine art, and more

If a large moving truck can’t access your home, a smaller vehicle (shuttle truck) will be used to transfer your belongings. Your moving consultant will let you know in advance if this applies to your move.

Third-party services refer to specialty services provided by trusted partners to handle unique items or tasks. Examples include:

  • Crating fine art or antiques
  • Disconnecting and reconnecting appliances
  • Moving pool tables, pianos, or grandfather clocks
  • Removing and crating wall-mounted TVs

These services are identified during your in-home or virtual estimate.

An in-home moving estimate involves one of our moving experts visiting your home to:

  • Review the items to be moved
  • Assess truck access and any special requirements
  • Answer your questions and provide a written quote

This helps ensure accurate planning and smooth move-day execution.

Moving companies are not permitted to transport hazardous or perishable items. Prohibited items may include:

  • Flammable or explosive materials (gasoline, propane tanks, fireworks)
  • Perishable food
  • Plants (especially for long-distance moves)
  • Important personal documents, jewelry, and cash (keep these with you)

While moving companies don’t offer insurance, we do provide valuation coverage:

  • Full Value Protection (FVP): Covers repair, replacement, or reimbursement at current market value.
  • Released Value Protection: A no-cost option that provides minimal coverage at $0.60 per pound per item.

We highly recommend Full Value Protection for peace of mind during your move.

Preparation is key to a smooth move. Some helpful tips:

  • Declutter and donate items you no longer need
  • Clearly label all boxes by room
  • Set aside essentials and personal items to take with you
  • Ensure parking access for the moving truck

We’ll also provide a moving checklist to help guide you.

Yes, we provide vehicle transportation services for most types of cars, trucks, and SUVs. Rates are based on vehicle type and shipping distance. Ask about bundling vehicle transport with your household move.

Yes, we specialize in moving heavy and delicate items. Pianos, pool tables, hot tubs, and similar items often require special handling or crating. We coordinate with third-party specialists when needed, and any additional costs will be outlined in your moving quote.

Delivery timelines depend on your shipment’s size, moving distance, and season. Summer tends to have longer windows. Your coordinator will provide a personalized delivery timeframe.

It is important to do your research when hiring a moving company. Here are some top tips:

  1. Verify the company’s U.S. DOT number and FMCSA registration at protectyourmove.gov.
  2. Be cautious of too-low estimates that sound too good to be true.
  3. Look for affiliations with national van lines like United Van Lines.
  4. Check online reviews and ask trusted friends or colleagues for referrals.
  5. Use tracking technology like AirTags as an extra precaution.
