Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I schedule my move?
It’s always best to plan ahead. For local moves within Maryland, booking 4–6 weeks in advance usually works well. For long-distance or international moves, try to give us at least 8–12 weeks to make sure everything is lined up perfectly.
Do you only handle residential moves, or can you move businesses too?
We do both! Whether you’re moving out of your apartment, downsizing to a smaller home, or relocating your entire office, our team has the experience to make it smooth and efficient.
Can I choose how much help I get with packing?
Absolutely. Some customers prefer to do their own packing, while others want us to handle everything. You can pick the level of service that works best for you, whether it’s just providing boxes and supplies, or full packing and unpacking support.
What if I need storage during my move?
No problem. If your new place isn’t ready yet or you need a little extra space, we offer safe, climate-controlled storage options. Your belongings stay secure until you’re ready for them.
How do you handle delicate or heavy items?
We’ve moved everything from pianos and antiques to oversized furniture and artwork. Our crew uses the right tools, padding, and techniques to make sure specialty items are transported with care.
Can you help with car transportation?
Yes! If you’re moving a long distance or even overseas, we can arrange to have your vehicle delivered safely to your new location, so you don’t have to worry about driving it yourself.
My parents are downsizing. Do you offer special help for seniors?
We do. Senior moves can be emotional and overwhelming, and we approach them with extra patience and care. Our team can help with sorting, packing, and making the transition as smooth as possible.
Do you provide moving supplies, or do I have to buy them elsewhere?
We can deliver everything you need right to your door—boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, you name it. That way you don’t have to waste time running around to different stores.
What areas of Maryland do you serve?
We’re based in Baltimore but are steadily expanding to cover the entire state. From Annapolis to Silver Spring, Frederick to the Eastern Shore, we’re working every day to bring our moving services closer to you.
What makes Chesapeake Moving Company different from other movers?
For us, it’s personal. We don’t just move your things—we help you start a new chapter. Our customers love us for our reliability, friendly team, and full-service approach. Whether it’s a local move, corporate relocation, or even event setup and break-down, we’re here to make your move easier in every way possible.
