Always Professional Moving crew loading boxes into the moving truck in Gilbert

Owner-run, East Valley born

Call and you get Cody or one of his movers on the line, not a call center. Point out where the tight turns and heavy rooms are, and the day gets planned out well before the truck pulls up.

A quote in writing, not a guess

Your figure comes from a room-by-room walkthrough, with pads, dollies, shrink-wrap and wardrobe boxes already folded in — nothing sprung on you at the curb.

Pack it all or only the breakables

Dish barrels swallow the kitchen, wardrobe cartons take the closet straight off the rod, and a built-to-size crate shields every mirror, TV and pane of glass for the ride.

One crew for every kind of address

The chief who sizes up your home runs the truck and walks the empty place with you at the end — from Sun Lakes single-stories to Tempe high-rise walk-ups, the same team stays with your things.

Are you an actual Gilbert moving company, or a booking site that hands my move to someone else?

It's a real company — owner Cody Prescott holds full Gilbert, AZ licensing and insurance, and every truck and uniformed mover on the job is ours. Cody and his people do the loading and the driving on every move themselves; not one job gets farmed out to some stranger's truck.

It hits 110 degrees all summer — how do you keep a July move from turning brutal?

We roster summer jobs at first light, usually a 6 a.m. start, so the heavy carries are done before the pavement bakes. The crew rotates water breaks on our dime, and we stage the truck in shade wherever the site allows.

My community wants a certificate of insurance before movers come through the gate — can you provide one?

Every day. Danielle sends a certificate of insurance naming your HOA or property manager, usually the same day you ask. Val Vista Lakes, Seville, Power Ranch and the other gated communities around Gilbert are routine for us.

I'm a snowbird and my new place isn't ready until fall — can you hold my things over the summer?

Yes. When your move-out and move-in dates don't line up — a common thing for seasonal residents — we keep your load blanketed and secured in a clean, dry bay and redeliver the moment your place is ready.

Do you move retirees into and out of 55+ communities like Sun Lakes?

Often. Downsizing into or out of Sun Lakes and the other active-adult communities south of Chandler is some of our steadiest work. We take our time with the sentimental pieces and coordinate with the community's move-in window.

How do you protect my furniture from monsoon dust and a surprise haboob?

We pad and shrink-wrap everything before it leaves the house, seal upholstery against blowing grit, and keep an eye on the radar during monsoon season so the ramp isn't wide open when a dust wall rolls through.

What does a local East Valley move actually cost?

Local jobs run $145 an hour for two movers and a truck, or $199 for three, with a one-hour minimum. Compact homes often go flat-rate — a studio lands $390 to $620 and a two-bedroom $700 to $1,140. Furniture pads, dollies, wardrobe boxes and shrink-wrap all ride along at no extra cost.

How are my belongings covered if a piece gets broken?

Every move carries free released-value coverage of $0.60 a pound. Want your belongings covered at full worth? Add full-value protection, which insures cargo up to $1,000,000 per shipment. For interstate moves, you have nine months from delivery to file a claim.

How Your Move Day Unfolds

1

Same-day estimate, in writing

On our end: Give us the room count, whether it’s stairs or a flat walk-out, and where the truck can park — a written number comes back to you, usually before the day is out.

Where you help: Keep your move-out and move-in dates handy, plus any gate or building codes; that’s what turns a rough range into a firm figure.
2

We lock the date and clear access

On our end: Truck parking, gate codes and elevator holds get arranged with your building or HOA ahead of time, so the crew pulls up at the door instead of hauling boxes across a lot.

Where you help: Confirm when you can be out of the old place and into the new one, then tell us which of those two dates has the least give.
3

Pad, wrap, label, load

On our end: Furniture disappears under blankets, sofas get sealed in stretch wrap, and every bolt from a bed or table rides in a labeled bag taped to its own piece.

Where you help: Tag each box with the room it’s bound for, and keep documents, keys and small valuables with you rather than on the truck.
4

Drive, carry in, walk it back

On our end: The movers who loaded your home are the ones who set it back down — furniture placed where you point, beds rebuilt, and all the spent wrap and tape hauled off before we leave.

Where you help: Do a final walk with the chief before the truck rolls, while anything that needs a fix is still an easy fix.
