How It Works
We ask the right questions upfront so the estimate actually reflects your move.
Services
We start with what's going. Full cleanout, a few rooms, or just one big item? Anything to set aside for donation or recycling?
Place
Then we learn about the property. House or apartment, number of bedrooms, how many stories, finished basement, garage, attic.
Access
Next we cover the logistics. Elevator, stairs, or a straight walk to the truck? Tight hallways or narrow doorways? Any appliances that need disconnecting first?
Inventory
Finally we walk through what's being hauled. Every major piece plus a rough read on total volume so we bring the right truck.
You get a detailed estimate
Once we have the full picture, we put together a clear, itemized estimate. You can be confident we've covered everything, because we asked about everything.

What our customers say
“I had an excellent experience with Blue Crab Moving. The team was punctual very professional, and handled all of my belongings with great care. They worked efficiently, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made my move stress-free. The pricing was fair with no surprises, and everything arrived safely and in perfect condition. I highly recommend Blue Crab Moving to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy movers.”
“Great company , highly professional , helpful and friendly . I definitely recommend them and I would use them again.”
“I cannot recommend the Blue Crab team more highly. They are meticulous, creative and very focused on customer service. I had a partial-house, 3,000 pound move that included unloading half of the furniture to a condominium and half to storage unit, boht of which were 800 miles from pick-up. The Blue Crab team worked with me on the delivery date, and listened to and addressed my worries about certain fragile pieces of furniture. They also had continuity of the three-person team, making sure one person was at both ends of the move. Furniture was well labeled and wrapped, and the team was skilled at dis- and re-assembly. It was such a pleasant experience that I almost forgot I was in the middle of move! I cannot recommend them more highly (I have moved cross country 2x with national moving companies and had countless other smaller moves over 40 years and Blue Crab is the best team I have ever had).”
