Residential Moving Services in Seattle

Absolutely. We are fully licensed and insured. Our licensing numbers are: DOT # 1990914, HG # 063862, MC # 865709. Your belongings are protected throughout the entire moving process.

We do our best to accommodate urgent requests depending on crew availability. While advance booking is recommended, give us a call and we'll work to fit you into our schedule as quickly as possible.

Pricing is based on the size of your move, distance, and any additional services such as packing or specialty item handling. We provide transparent, upfront estimates with no hidden fees so you know exactly what to expect.

We recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak moving season (May-September). However, we understand that moves can be last-minute, so contact us and we'll do our best to accommodate your schedule.

Have items boxed and ready, ensure clear pathways, reserve parking for the moving truck if needed, and be available to answer questions. We'll handle the heavy lifting while you supervise.

Clear walkways, disassemble small furniture if possible, label boxes by room, and set aside any items you plan to move yourself. Our crew will handle the rest, but preparation helps us work more efficiently and keeps costs down.

We handle all types of residential relocations including apartments, single-family homes, townhomes, and condos. Whether you're moving across the street or across the state, our crew is equipped and trained for every scenario.

Yes. First Due offers a donation and disposal service for a small fee based on the total cubic footage of items. This is a convenient way to clear out unwanted furniture, appliances, or household goods during your move without making a separate trip. Please note that we cannot dispose of garbage or hazardous items.

It depends on the size of the dresser and whether stairs are involved. A small dresser on a single-floor, no-stair move can generally stay loaded with clothes. However, if the dresser is large or if the move involves stairs, we ask that you remove all items from the drawers beforehand. This protects both the dresser and our crew from unnecessary strain and risk of damage.

Yes. All of our crews arrive equipped with the tools needed to disassemble and reassemble most furniture, including beds, dining tables, exercise equipment, and similar items. If a piece requires disassembly to safely navigate doorways or stairwells, we'll handle it. Just let your moving coordinator know in advance about any particularly complex pieces so we can plan accordingly.

All furniture is wrapped in moving blankets and secured with stretch wrap before being loaded onto the truck. Mattresses and box springs are encased in 4-mil commercial-grade plastic mattress bags to keep them clean and protected throughout the move. These materials are part of our standard process — not an add-on — so your belongings are protected from the moment we start loading.

We use FloorPro, our proprietary neoprene floor protection product, along with floor runners to safeguard hardwood, tile, and other flooring surfaces throughout the move. High-traffic pathways are protected from the first step through the last item loaded. Our goal is to leave your home or office in the same condition we found it.

We can move most standard household appliances. However, we are not able to disconnect or reconnect water lines or gas lines. Refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, and similar appliances that require water or gas connections should be disconnected by the homeowner or a licensed plumber/technician before move day. We'll handle the heavy lifting and transport once everything is ready to go.

Yes. Our crews are experienced in carefully packing and transporting electronics, stereo systems, and similar equipment. We can assist with disconnecting cables and wiring at your origin location. However, setup and reconnection of electronics at your destination is not included — your devices will be placed in the appropriate room, ready for you or your technician to set up.

Absolutely. Unloading and placement at your destination is a core part of every move. Our crew will bring each item into your new home and place it in the room of your choosing. Please note that we do not unpack boxes — we'll get everything inside and positioned where you want it, but unpacking the contents of boxes is up to you.

We can safely remove your TV and its wall mount at your current home and transport them to your new location. However, we are not able to re-mount the TV at your destination. You'll want to arrange for a handyman or installer to handle the wall mounting at the new place. We'll make sure the TV and mount are delivered safely and ready for installation.

You're welcome to assist with lighter tasks on move day, but there are a couple of important safety guidelines. Our crew cannot team-lift with owners or non-employees — all heavy lifting is handled by trained movers only. Additionally, non-employees are not permitted inside the moving truck. The best way to help is to make sure pathways are clear, items are ready to go, and you're available to answer questions about placement at your new home.
