"The guys doingvthe moving were great and polite. My biggest complaint is with customer service. I booked the move, gave them a deposit 7 days before the move. Two days before the move we reviewed details and they sprang a !6% fuel charge on the total amount instead miles travel. Unacceptable! Bait and switch! Call it what it is. Raise your price whatever but a 16% fuel charge on the total bill is ridiculous! I will not recommend them nor use them again."

"Moving APT's team were first class professionals at both ends of our move. From packing day to loading and unloading, the Waters Team was efficient, courteous and always willing to provide the little extra help I'd requested. I'd Highly recommend Moving APT for an out of state relocation."

"I called several large and small moving companies before I found Hire a Helper and the others were are either unwilling to help me or just plain didn t call me back. We had a large kiln (about900lbs) that had been delivered to us but not put place. I found Hire a Helper and within a week I had a crew out to my house with a pallet jack, ready and able to pull the kiln out my my carport and into my shed. The crew was friendly and professional, they even removed the bracing 2x4s packing the kiln for us The price was a bit higher than expected but considering the speed & efficiency with which they did the job - and the fact that I had no other way to move this behemoth- it was well worth it!"

"Overall very efficient move. Did a thorough inventory via webcam and walked through the entire house. Gave a very competitive quote for a long distance move. Arrived as expected and had clear communication throughout. Was efficient in breaking furniture down as necessary and wrapping everything. Had no issues with broken or scratches furniture. Delivery date was just as smooth. Highly recommend."

FAQs for in-state moving service projects in Des Moines, IA

Laws differ from state to state, but the number one rule is that you cannot move a mobile home on your own. You have to hire a licensed mobile home moving company. While each state is different, you’ll also have to research HUD codes, permits, and other laws specific to the area to ensure your move follows all necessary regulations.

Yes, a permit is required to move a mobile home. You must secure permits in the state of origin and in every state through which the mobile home passes. When moving across state boundaries, obtain a permit for each state. Your moving company assists in acquiring all required permits, ensuring strict compliance with local regulations during the entire relocation process.

No, you cannot move a mobile home built before 1976. Mobile homes constructed before 1976 do not meet current safety standards and must not be relocated. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development enforces strict guidelines that prevent moving older models. Verify the build year and comply with all HUD regulations to ensure safety and legal compliance.
