Items from a 900sqft 1 bedroom apartment moved to a single U Pack container took almost 2 hrs. The gentlemen were courteous and professional and managed to stuff all my items into a single container. I was nervous I may have needed a second container but they were Tetris pros. I would Highly Recommend Them and will use them again if I move back to the area. I would also recommend for most to order two containers from a moving company like U pack if you have more then a studio or small 1 bedroom. As you will run out of room with larger items.

Not only were they on time, they were 20 minutes early! They didn't seem quite prepared for the job, as they used our carts and floor jacks, they did a great job packing everything into their truck. They worked quickly and loaded a 26' box truck in less than 2 hours. Unloading was complete in an hour and a half! They were respectful. and everything arrived at it's destination unharmed.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Dayton

Dayton moves are hassle-free with HireAHelper! Whether you need a full-service moving company or just help with the heavy lifting, we've got you covered. Still have questions? Visit our blog for detailed guides, tips, and plenty of moving resources.

Q: How much do movers cost in Dayton?

The average cost of a local, labor-only move in Dayton is $533. However, the cost for movers in Dayton can depend on several factors. The size of your move (e.g. the amount and weight of your belongings and how many movers and/or trucks you need), the distance of your move, and the time of year (peak times like the holidays and summer months can be more expensive) can all affect the final price.

Q: What is the best time to move to Dayton?

The best time to move to Dayton depends on your priorities. If you want to avoid extreme weather for easier moving conditions, consider moving in spring (April to June) or early fall (September to October), as Dayton has long, warm summers and cold, snowy winters. For the best price, consider moving in off-peak seasons like late fall or winter when demand is low and so are the rates. The cheapest month to move in Dayton is January. For even greater savings, schedule your move mid-week and also mid-month when movers are less busy.

Q: Does moving cost more if you have stairs?

Yes, moving costs are often higher if you have stairs. Usually, the first flight is included in the price, but any more than that can incur extra fees. Hauling your belongings up and down stairs puts added physical strain on movers and can also add time to your move, which increases your costs. Be sure to list how many flights of steps your home has when getting a quote to make sure the final price is accurate.

Q: What are the best storage options near Dayton for temporary needs?

There are multiple temporary storage options in Dayton to meet your needs. These include self-storage facilities that you take your items to, portable storage containers you can keep at your home or store at the company's warehouse, and on-demand storage where moving companies move your things to their own secure storage facility and then deliver them to your new home when you're ready. Additionally, many full-service moving companies offer storage in transit, where they “hold” your belongings in storage for up to 90 days before delivering to your new home.

Q: Do I need to tip movers in Dayton?

Tipping your movers is not required but is a good way to show appreciation for exceptional service. Depending on the type and level of service provided, you may want to consider tipping your movers between 10% and 20% of the total moving cost.

These guys are the best! From booking to finish, they were very professional. We were arriving from out of state and they were very supportive with time of arrival, planned their unloading strategy quickly, and executed flawlessly. Overall really nice, friendly, and good at what they do. We will absolutely book them again.

All four men from Moveplus were incredibly gracious and hard working. I'm so glad I hired them. Separately, I was advised by the person who booked my job to hire 4 guys for 4 hours. The team that I got was able to finish the job in 3 hours, but do I get any money back.NO!!!
