Home moving is a service in which the belongings in your home are packed, transported to your new address and set up there. The price depends on the size of your home, the floor and elevator situation, the distance and your packing needs; starting prices are listed in the table on this page.
For most people, moving house is a complicated and exhausting process. Getting your belongings to your new home without damage, quickly and safely takes a professional service.
What’s more, situations such as urban renewal (earthquake-driven redevelopment), a temporary stay abroad, renovations or office refurbishments may call for temporary storage on top of the move itself. This is exactly where a company that combines a Home Moving service with short- or long-term storage rental can solve all your logistics problems under one roof.
Troy Depo doesn’t operate its own warehouse; instead, it works with a large network of partner warehouses, offering a wide range of options in terms of both location and price. Whether you’re moving across town or to another city, you get integrated solutions.
Our moving and packing team specializes in transporting large furniture, home appliances and delicate items without damage. If you wish, you can add an insurance option to protect yourself against financial loss in unexpected events such as fire, theft or flooding.
Why Do You Need a Home Moving Service?
Moving house is a stressful process most of us go through at certain stages of life. Asking friends for help and doing the packing and moving yourself may sound economical, but when it comes to time and risk of damage, a professional team is often a lifesaver.
Considering both the transport of heavy, bulky items and logistical challenges such as narrow staircases or buildings without elevators, a Home Moving service is the safest and most efficient solution in most cases.
Moves, Renovations and Seasonal Gaps
- Moving: Moving into a new home or out of your current one… During this process, a professional moving team saves you time and stress when it comes to transporting your boxes, furniture and electronics.
- Renovation / Urban Renewal: For long renovation projects, combining temporary storage with moving is a real advantage. Once the renovation is complete, you can have your belongings delivered back.
- Seasonal Gaps / Temporary Needs: Sometimes you only need to store your belongings for a short time. For example, if you have to go abroad for a few months, vacating your home can make financial sense. A short-term (1–6 months) storage + moving service covers your needs.
Although they differ from moving house, office moves involve similar challenges: large desks, equipment, archives and boxes… Here, you can use our moving and packing service to keep the workload on your employees to a minimum.
How to Plan a Home Move
A moving service is about much more than loading belongings onto a truck and taking them to a new address. It involves a range of factors such as planning, packing, vehicle selection, distance, floor level and insurance. Good planning greatly reduces moving stress.

Choosing a Company and the Survey Stage
- Researching Companies: Pay attention to references, customer reviews, the company’s professionalism, its vehicle fleet and the quality of its packing materials.
- Survey: Most companies give a price after assessing the volume of your belongings, any particularly delicate items, the floor level and whether there is an elevator. The survey gives you a realistic cost plan.
- Contract and Insurance: The contract spells out the scope of the moving service, the date and time, the fee and whether insurance is included.
- Packing and Wrapping: The professional team labels the boxes and protects delicate items such as glassware and electronics by wrapping them in bubble wrap.
- Disassembly / Assembly: Taking apart large pieces such as beds, wardrobes and tables, and reassembling them at the new address.
- Moving with a Furniture Lift: In high-rise buildings, an external furniture lift may be needed. Especially in tall buildings with no elevator or only a small one, it keeps belongings from being damaged on narrow staircases. Where necessary, a modular lift is set up for certain operations.
Packing, Transport and Setup
- Packing: Fragile items, clothing and electronics are boxed separately. Each box is labeled with its contents and destination room.
- Loading and Stacking: The size of the truck or van is chosen based on the volume of your belongings. Knowing the right stacking order keeps items from tipping over or getting crushed on the road.
- Arrival at the New Address: Belongings are carried up to the specified floor. If there is no elevator, the moving team uses manpower or an external furniture lift, depending on the floor.
- Assembly and Placement: Depending on the scope of the agreement, assembly and other related services (installations, hanging light fixtures, etc.) are carried out. That way, your furniture is ready to use in your new home.
- Short Distance (Local): Within the same city or over a short distance, costs may be lower because travel time is short. However, factors such as the floor/elevator situation and the volume of your belongings can still push the price up.
- Long Distance (Intercity): Fuel costs, travel time and accommodation (for very long distances) are added. Planning must be more meticulous, because long journeys increase the risk of damage to belongings.

Most people want to know what determines the price of a moving service. To get a clear answer to the question “How much will I pay?”, you need to consider a few factors.
Volume and Floor Level
- Volume (m³): The more belongings you have, the more vehicles, the larger vehicles and the more packing materials you need. With large volumes, both time and labor costs go up.
- Floor Level / Elevator Use: If there is no elevator, or the stairs or hallways are narrow, the team has to put in more effort. Renting an external furniture lift may also be added to the price.
- Distance: A local move within the same neighborhood costs less than an intercity move. Intercity moving can cost more because fuel and travel time are added.
- Moving & Packing: The packing materials provided by the professional team (boxes, bubble wrap, tape, etc.) and the labor are separate items. Some packages include them; others charge for them separately.
- Insurance: If your belongings are valuable, insurance can be well worth the small additional cost. The company passes on the policy cost in line with its own agreement.
Is a Home Moving Service Safe? Risks and Precautions
Many people hesitate about professional moving and storage services, worrying: “Will my belongings get lost, scratched or damaged?” With the right planning and the right company, these risks can be minimized.
Physical and Operational Safety
- Staff Selection: An experienced team packs belongings correctly, reducing the risk of bumps or scratches during transport.
- Vehicle Fleet: Securing fixtures and padded or partitioned compartments inside moving vehicles keep belongings from tipping over.
- Packing Quality: Delicate electronics and glassware are protected with materials such as a double layer of bubble wrap, special boxes and corner protectors.
- Insurance: This is the most important safeguard for covering any damage that may occur while your belongings are being moved. Make sure you are clear on which risks the policy covers and what its limits are.
- Assembly and Disassembly: Thanks to the professional team’s expertise, taking apart your large furniture or appliances and setting them up again at the new address goes smoothly and without damage.
Combine Home Moving and Storage!
Moving house and the need for temporary or long-term storage often go hand in hand. You may not be able to move into your new home right away, and your belongings may need to wait for a while. In that case, getting moving and storage services together pays off in terms of both coordination and cost. If your new home is smaller, our article on what to do with extra belongings when moving to a smaller home offers some solutions.
Short- and Long-Term Storage Scenarios
- Your New Home Isn’t Ready Yet: If there’s a delay of 1–6 months, the moving team picks up your belongings and puts them in storage, then moves and delivers them again once the project is complete.
- Long-Term Storage: If you’ll be abroad for 12+ months, you can keep your belongings in a professional warehouse, and when you return, the moving team will deliver them back to your address.
- A Professional Warehouse Instead of a Storage Shed: Rather than cramped, damp basements, choosing partner warehouses with measures like climate control, 24/7 security and humidity control prevents long-term damage to your belongings.
- Moving and Storage: The entire process (picking up your belongings from your old home, storing them and moving them to your new address) can be organized under a single contract.
- Insurance and Packing: By insuring your belongings according to their value, you can protect them during both the moving and the storage stages.
