The best way to make your residential move successful is to work with a reputable moving company like Bekins Van Lines. We can cover everything from packing to loading to delivery. Alongside working with a trustworthy moving company, there are other ways you can ensure a smooth move, including:
- Get rid of stuff you don’t need. Downsizing before you pack or as you pack is a great way to make your move less stressful and less expensive.

- Organize and pack your belongings as early as possible. This will give you peace of mind as the big day approaches.

- Contact your utility providers to schedule service at your new home.
- Book your moving company as soon as possible. Moving companies are often booked out months in advance—especially in the spring and summer. Plan ahead, figure out your moving day and book your moving company ASAP.
Having the right kind of packing boxes can make a world of difference on moving day. It’s probably not surprising to hear that having small, medium, and large boxes is necessary. However, it’s also extremely helpful to have specialty boxes like wardrobe and dish boxes. Learn more about how to pack like a pro!
The best way to protect your flooring during your next move is to cover it. You can cover your floors with linens like towels, sheets, or blankets, broken down cardboard boxes, or with commercial floor coverings. Other ways to protect your floors during a move is to never drag your furniture; use a rubber-wheeled dolly to move your belongings. Learn more!

What People are Saying About Bekins
Mars Hernandez was so helpful , informative and always available to answer all my questions from the very beginning… he made this whole stressful moving process flow smoothly without any problems … the driver and his team of helpers were very efficient and on time… they handled my belongings with great care!!!! A big thank you to all of you making this huge process easy and stress free!!!
Bekins Van Lines performed our move nearly flawlessly from start to finish. We were thrilled to know that our possessions would never be leaving the truck until the time of delivery. The pick-up crew was fast and professional. The driver also arrived on time at both the pick-up and drop-off locations, and the delivery crew was also efficient and friendly as well. We are pleased to note that none of our possessions were lost or damaged throughout our ~1,200 mile move. What more could you ask for? We will recommend Bekins Van Lines, that’s for sure! Thanks again for a job well done, and we appreciate the care that your staff and contractors provided for our possessions and furniture alike!
This was our first move by a professional moving company and it turned out to be perfect in every way. O’Brien Moving and Storage was our local contact team and they were amazing. The entire process from beginning to end was professional, on time, on quote, and our possessions were expertly packed, stored, and delivered in perfect condition. Communications with both O’Brien’s and Bekins was efficient, courteous, and timely. My husband and I cannot say enough about what a great experience this was and we highly recommend both O’Brien’s Moving and Storage and Bekins. The two companies provide the best customer service we’ve ever experienced.
The driver and his two helpers arrived early in the morning and completed the truck loading in 3 hours, much less than I expected given the packing involved of items we could not physically pack ourselves. They all worked very hard and fast and clearly had the experience to do the job in the most efficient way. I was extremely impressed and would recommend Bekins (Wheaton) highly.
I am thankful for their work which helped make the difficult process of moving to a new home in a new state a little easier.
We had a smooth and professional experience with Bekins. From the initial contact through delivery, the team was responsive and helpful. Our quote was fair and reasonable, and our packing experience was clean and efficient with all items being safely delivered for our out-of-state move. We highly recommend the team of Richard, Rich, and Nick. Thank you!
We hadn’t moved in over 20 years and this time it was an out of state move. The Bekins Van Lines Forman (driver and guy in charge) was Marco and he was fantastic! He (and the crew) were professional, friendly and prompt in moving us out of our home and on the delivery end as well. They were amazingly efficient and conscientious as they packed up and loaded/unloaded the moving truck with all of our “earthly possessions”. The crews on both ends of the process were hard working, friendly and clearly knew what they were doing. I highly recommend Bekins Van Lines and would chose them again if the need were to arise.
We had another cross-country move and Bekins Van Lines did another incredible job! Our family adored our driver, Carlos, and his team. They were SO incredibly kind and helpful. While I was signing paperwork, one of the guys grabbed a broom and swept out my entire empty house. I was floored! He had just spent hours loading our things and then he helped me even more!
Bekins will always be our first call when we move again, Richard and Frank always take such great care of us. It truly makes moving a breeze!
Fantastic people to work with! From our sales person, to the moving coordinator, to both moving crews. Everyone was so friendly and professional. We had an out of state move and paid for packing services. Everything was packed so well. Highly recommended this company! Would use again!
We recently moved from Ocean County in NJ to Chesterfield County in VA. The team at Bekins Seacure were excellent, from the sales staff to the admin staff to the driver and moving team at both locations. We were impressed with their professionalism and the manner in which they conducted themselves. They were efficient, courteous, and very careful with our belongings. We were impressed with them being able to deliver our goods ahead of schedule, making the transition to our new home easier to deal with, since we had family from out of state helping. They could only be here for a fixed time period due to air travel.
We highly recommend the Bekins organization for moves both local and long distance.
