What Does Residential Moving Include?

At Avant-Garde Moving, we offer local moving services tailored to your need. Whether you need help loading, unloading, or packing services, we've got you covered.


Either way, our goal is to provide a comprehensive solution that helps to make the move stress-free and enjoyable.

  • Follow-up Call 1 Day Before

    We will do the follow-up call 1 day before the move to check the status of your preparation and besides all the questions we will ask you to send us photos or a video walk-thru of the space which help a lot with the preparation for the move.

  • The Basics: Packing, Loading, & Transporting

    Our short distance movers will begin with packing up all of your belongings with high-quality packing materials to make sure everything stays safe and secure during transit. 


    Basic furniture handling for the items such as bed, dining table, dresser with mirrors, etc that have less than 10 screws and not require special handling are included in our prices.


    Once everything is packed up, we'll load it onto their truck and transport it to your new home. 

  • Fuel, Millage, Zone, & Tolls

    Fuel, millage, zone & tolls are included in our prices if the locations are correctly provided to the representative upon booking.

  • Final Walkthrough

    Upon completing the move, we will do a walkthrough of the new location to make sure the move is completed successfully and have you sign the contract for job completition.

Your Residential Moving Checklist

Moving can be a daunting task. Whether you're moving across town or across the country, there's a lot to think about and a lot to do. To help make the process a little easier, we've put together a residential moving checklist. 

  • Give Yourself Plenty of Time

    Trying to pack up an entire household in a week is not only stressful, it's also likely to result in broken dishes and lost items. Start packing up non-essentials a few weeks in advance so that you're not overwhelmed come moving day.

  • Create an 'Essentials' Box

    When you're packing up your belongings, be sure to set aside an 'essentials' box. This box should contain items like toiletries, cleaning supplies, towels, bedding, and clothing for a few days. This way, when you arrive at your new home, you'll have everything you need to get by until the rest of your belongings arrive.

  • Pack Your Boxes Carefully

    When packing your boxes, be sure to label them clearly and fill them as full as possible without overloading them. You may also want to consider using specialty boxes for items like dishes and fashion clothing on hangers—this will help prevent breakage and wrinkles respectively.

  • Change Important Documents

    Complete a Change of Address form online or at your local post office . This will ensure that your mail gets forwarded to your new address. Notify important people or places of your address change. This includes your employer, doctor/dentist, bank/financial institution(s), subscriptions, etc . 

  • Get Rid of Unwanted Items

    One of the best parts of moving is that it gives you a chance to get rid of unwanted items. If you haven't used something in six months, chances are you won't miss it. So go through your belongings and donate or sell anything you don't need. This will not only lighten your load, it will also give you a head start on packing.

COI (Certificate of Insurance)

If you’re moving in or out of the apartment building, your building may require your moving company to submit a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before the movers can even step inside it. 


COI legacy protects buildings in case of any damages and building management often requires documentation and proof of insurance to ensure moving company is properly covered.


COI is included in our rates and all you have to do is send us a sample/coi requirements from the building management.
