What Are Residential Moving Services?
Residential moving services are professional moving services designed to help individuals and families relocate their household belongings from one residence to another.
A residential move can include:
- Moving from a house to another house
- Apartment and condominium moves
- Moving into or out of a rental property
- Family relocations
- Downsizing and senior moves
- Moving household furniture
- Single-item household moves
- Packing and unpacking assistance
- Loading and unloading
- Temporary or long-term storage
- Moving specialty items such as pianos and safes
The right moving plan depends on the size of your household, the distance of the move, the amount of furniture and belongings, and the services you need.
Full-Service Residential Moving
Some customers prefer to handle most of their move themselves and only need professional movers for transportation and heavy lifting. Others want a moving company to handle a larger portion of the process.
Full-service residential moving can include:
- Planning the move
- Packing household belongings
- Preparing furniture and other items
- Loading the moving truck
- Transporting belongings
- Unloading at the destination
- Placing furniture and belongings where requested
Hansen’s offers full-service moving as well as packing services, allowing customers to choose the level of assistance that makes sense for their move.
Professional Packing for Residential Moves
Packing can be one of the most time-consuming parts of relocating a household. Depending on the size of your home, it may take days or weeks to organize and prepare everything.
Hansen’s Moving & Storage offers full packing services and packing supplies. The company also provides free use of wardrobes for moving customers.
Professional packing can be especially helpful if you:
- Have a large household
- Have a short amount of time to prepare
- Have fragile belongings
- Need help packing an entire home
- Want professional movers to handle more of the preparation
- Prefer to coordinate packing and moving through one company
Customers who prefer to pack themselves can also discuss packing materials and other preparation needs with Hansen’s.
Professional Residential Movers From Start to Finish
Moving a household involves much more than putting boxes into a truck. Furniture and personal belongings need to be prepared, protected, loaded, transported, and unloaded carefully.
Hansen’s Moving & Storage provides full-service moving, which includes arriving at your home with a moving truck, loading your belongings, transporting them to the destination, and unloading them. The company also provides packing services and packing supplies for customers who want help preparing their household for the move.
Hansen’s has been serving customers since 1986 and describes its moving crews as professional, trained, and courteous. The company emphasizes careful handling of customers’ furniture and belongings throughout the moving process.
Residential Moving for Houses, Apartments, and Condos
No two residential moves are exactly alike.
A family moving from a large house may need a very different moving plan from someone moving between apartments. Some customers may need help with an entire household, while others may only need assistance with a few large or difficult-to-move items.
Hansen’s Moving & Storage provides residential moving services for:
- Single-family homes
- Apartments
- Condominiums
- Smaller households
- Larger family households
- Rental properties
- Individual rooms
- Single-item moves
When planning a residential move, it is helpful to identify the type and quantity of belongings that need to be moved, as well as any access considerations such as stairs, elevators, narrow hallways, or difficult parking.
Moving Furniture and Household Belongings
Large furniture can be difficult to move safely without the right equipment, manpower, and planning.
Residential movers may handle items such as:
- Beds and bedroom furniture
- Sofas and sectionals
- Dining tables and chairs
- Dressers and cabinets
- Desks
- Appliances
- Household boxes
- Large or bulky furniture
- Individual items
Hansen’s also handles single-item moves, which can be useful when you need professional assistance moving one particularly large or difficult item rather than an entire household.
Residential Moving With Storage
Sometimes your new home is not ready when you need to leave your current home. You may also be renovating, downsizing, staging a property, or transitioning between residences.
Storage can provide additional flexibility when your moving schedule does not line up perfectly.
Hansen’s Moving & Storage offers storage for periods ranging from days and weeks to months or years. Its website describes its warehouse facility as clean, secure, alarmed, and equipped with a sprinkler system.
Combining residential moving and storage can simplify a move when belongings need to be kept safely between residences.

Local and Long-Distance Residential Moves
Residential moving can involve both local and long-distance relocations.
A local household move may involve moving to another nearby residence, while a long-distance move may require transportation over a substantially greater distance.
Hansen’s Moving & Storage provides both local and long-distance moving services. The company states that it handles moves throughout California and across the United States.
If your residential relocation is a long-distance move, see our Long Distance Moving Services page for more information.
How the Local Moving Process Works
A well-planned move can make moving day more predictable and organized. Hansen’s recommends getting an estimate well ahead of the moving date and creating a plan and timeline for the move. The company offers free, no-obligation estimates.
Request a Free Moving Estimate
Start by providing information about your move, including where you are moving from, where you are moving to, your preferred moving date, and any details that may affect the job.
Plan Your Move
A moving plan helps determine what needs to be packed, what will be moved, whether storage is needed, and what services will be required.
Planning ahead can also help identify specialty items, access issues, and other considerations before moving day.
Prepare and Pack
You can pack your belongings yourself or use professional packing services. Hansen’s offers full packing services and packing supplies for customers who want additional assistance.
Moving Day
On moving day, the professional moving crew loads your belongings onto the moving truck and transports them to the destination. With full-service moving, the crew also unloads the belongings at the new location.
Delivery and Unloading
Once the truck reaches the destination, the moving crew unloads your belongings. Having a plan for where furniture and boxes should go can make the final stage of the move easier and more organized.
