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

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.
