Each move is unique. Something as simple as elevator access, loading location, 3 th floor walk up or 10th floor with elevator can impact your moves duration. It is nearly impossible to state a time without knowing more details of your location, as well your inventory list.However, our guidelines can give you a general idea:
1 Studio/one bedroom condo 4-5 hours.
2 Bedroom condo 6-8 hours
3 Bedroom house 8-12 hours based on load/unload one full truck.
Another example:
Loading full 26 foot truck with 3 movers will take 4/5 hours if walking distance from your door to the truck is reasonable.
Loading full 20 footer truck will take 3/4 hours with 3 movers.
Unloading usually takes same amount of time as loading.
Please keep in mind all situations are unique and these times are served as guidelines only.
