Where you are moving from and to, the size of your home, and roughly when. It takes about a minute and costs nothing.
We pass it to movers in that area
Your request goes to moving companies that serve your route. Each one prices the job itself, so quotes reflect the real work involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about finding and hiring movers in the Tri-State area.
How much does it cost to hire movers in the Tri-State area?
Local moves in the Tri-State area typically cost between $400 and $2,500 depending on the size of your home, distance, and time of year. A studio apartment move within the same city averages $400-$800, while a 3-bedroom home move can range from $1,200 to $2,500. Long-distance moves between states generally start at $2,000 and can exceed $5,000 for larger homes.
How far in advance should I book movers?
We recommend booking movers at least 4-6 weeks in advance for local moves and 8-12 weeks ahead for long-distance relocations. During peak season (May through September), booking 2-3 months early is ideal. Last-minute moves can be arranged, but availability is limited and rates may be higher.
Are the moving companies on TriStateMovers licensed and insured?
We are a referral service, so the answer is: check for yourself, and any legitimate mover will expect you to. Interstate movers must hold an active USDOT number, which you can look up free at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov, and intrastate movers need state operating authority. Ask any mover you are considering for its USDOT number and a certificate of insurance, and confirm both before you pay a deposit.
What should I do to prepare for moving day?
Start by decluttering and donating items you no longer need. Pack non-essential items early, label every box by room and contents, and create an inventory list. Confirm parking and elevator reservations at both locations. Set aside a bag of essentials (medications, chargers, toiletries) to keep with you. Notify your utility companies, update your address with USPS, and arrange childcare or pet care for moving day.
Can I get a binding estimate before my move?
Yes. When you request quotes through TriStateMovers, you can ask any of our partner movers for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate. We recommend an in-home or virtual survey for the most accurate pricing. A binding estimate guarantees the final price won’t exceed the quoted amount, giving you peace of mind and budget certainty.
