Excellent customer service is one of Iowa Moving 1's differentiating factors as compared to other moving companies. Without great customer service, we would not be in business. It is what helps us grow our local moving company and how we get past customers to tell others about us. We treat our customers with respect and we are very polite to them as well. We do our best to try and make things right in a honest and fair way with customers that may have problems that arise. |

We receive a lot of questions from customers when we show up to a job site regarding the move and how we will load the rental truck, trailer or portable storage container. What do you load first? How do you protect our items from damage? These are some common questions that we will address below. If you are loading a U-Haul rental truck it's best to start with small boxes or even chairs to put into the attic. If you load chairs remember to wrap them in a moving blanket. |

It seems to be a long-standing joke/discussion at our company about the biggest armoire we have ever moved. Stories of the "epic-sized"armoire that is always bigger than the last one. Large items are very tricky to move in small stairways and in older houses. The easiest way is to tip it back with a partner and have someone at the bottom of it and someone at the top of it. However, many times the armoire is too big to get around the corner. If you stand it upright in front of the first stair and then tip it back to your partner who is up a few stairs then it should be able to make it up the stairs. |

Iowa Moving 1 has customers in the Des Moines area that frequently inquire about how to pack certain items in a kitchen. Hopefully this information will be helpful for your future move. If you want to reduce the likelihood of damages to your personal items you might want to take a few minutes to read this. The most difficult thing in a house to pack is the kitchen. This is what has the highest risk of being damaged during transit. If you pack a dish barrel box (a double-walled sturdy box made for kitchen items) correctly you should be able to drop it and nothing should break in the moving box. |

Everyone’s first thought when they have to move to another state is that they need a full service traditional moving company with a truck. However, there is an alternative option. Iowa Moving 1 provides an unique, affordable moving labor solution that can save you up to 40% off of full service moving companies. Here are some options to consider:
1. Get a rental truck (such as U-haul, Penske, or Budget) and our experienced movers can help load it for you. We also can assist you in finding unloading help as well at the destination. |

Moving is a stressful event. Use some of these moving tips to help reduce the risk of damages during your move: - Use professional furniture pads (moving blankets) to wrap your furniture items in. Most moving labor companies sell these or you can also rent these from most rental truck agencies as well. The exact amount of furniture pads needed varies based on the items that are needing moved, but in general about 2 to 3 dozen pads for a middle size rental truck and 3 to 4 dozen for a 26ft rental truck. |
