Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between hourly and flat-rate moving?

    Hourly rates work best for local, short-distance moves where time is predictable, while flat-rate pricing offers cost certainty for longer or more complex relocations. At Ultimate Movers, LLC, we help you choose the option that fits your timeline and budget for moves in Brownstown Township and throughout Michigan.
  • How do movers handle furniture disassembly and reassembly?

    Professional movers carefully disassemble large furniture pieces like beds and desks before transport, then reassemble them at your new location. This protects both the furniture and doorways during the move. Ultimate Movers, LLC includes this service to ensure a smooth, damage-free experience.
  • Can you get same-day moving service for local moves?

    Yes, many local moving companies offer same-day availability for short-distance residential moves, especially for apartments and smaller homes.

  • Do you need special boxes for moving dishes?
