What we handle
Plan the route before the lift
Heavy items are rarely hard because of weight alone. They are hard because of the path: steps, doorways, tight turns and a long carry to the truck.
That is why the useful details are the item's size, its weight and how it gets out of the house. Tell us about those, and the crew can bring suitable equipment and plan the carry.
Crews also wrap furniture in moving pads and protect floors, doorways and railings at both homes, which matters when a bulky piece has to pass through narrow spots.
Specialty items cause the most worry on moving day. Here are the common situations people call about and how the work is set up around them.
Pianos that need to travel safely
Pianos are heavy and awkward. Skids, straps and dollies let the crew keep the piece controlled through doorways and over steps. Share its size and the route out of the house.
Gun safes on stairs or in garages
A loaded safe is a heavy lift. Empty it before moving day. Dollies, including stair-climbing ones, and straps help the crew move it along the path you describe.
Hot tubs heading to a new yard
A hot tub must be drained and disconnected before the crew arrives. Tell us the size, the route and the access at both ends so the carry can be planned.
Pool tables moved to another room or home
Pool tables are heavy and awkward to carry. Share the table's size and the route through the house, including steps and doorways, before moving day.
Antique and awkward furniture
Valuable or oddly shaped pieces get wrapped in moving pads before they travel. Point them out early so the crew can plan how to carry and load them.
Tight stairs, doorways and long carries
Narrow turns and a long walk to the truck change how a heavy item is moved. Describing the route ahead of time helps the crew plan the equipment and the steps.

Excellent Service! I needed help moving a very large Armoire, that was in a tough spot to move, and Maurice and his crew did a perfect job – very careful to protect my walls, floor, trim, and dresser from any damage. They also were on time, efficient, and very polite and courteous. I highly recommend this company!

7B went out of their way to accommodate my moving needs. I was late for my appointment, and Ryan waited patiently. He was prompt, presentable, and patient. He even got out the tape measure first before just trying to smash the furniture through the door, so he made sure everything fit first, and did not damage anything. Maurice and Tisha, Owners, are very personable and they respond in a quick manner of fashion. Good Christian people, with great service!!!

Moving is such a pain, but it was so easy with 7B. Maurice and his crew were absolutely amazing!! I hope I don’t have to move again anytime soon, but if I do, 7B are going to be the first people I call! Definitely recommend!

What affects the price
Every move gets a free estimate. For specialty items, the estimate follows the item and the path it has to travel. Local jobs are billed by the hour.
| Job | What affects the quote |
|---|---|
| Specialty Item Moving | Item size and weight, stairs, access and distance |
- Item size and weight: A large safe or full-size piano takes more equipment and effort than a smaller piece. Exact dimensions and weight help the estimate.
- Stairs and steps: Moving a heavy item up or down stairs takes more time and care than moving it across a level floor.
- Access and carry distance: Narrow doorways, tight turns, long walks to the truck and driveway access all change the work involved.
- Distance of the move: A short move across town differs from a trip to another part of North Idaho, Eastern Washington or beyond.
- Packing and other belongings: If the item is part of a larger move, or you want packing help, those details are folded into the scope.

Questions we get
What should I tell you before moving day?
Share the item's size and weight, and describe the route through the house, including steps and doorways. Mention both the pickup and delivery locations. It also helps to name your towns and your preferred date, so the plan and estimate match the real job.
How do I prepare a hot tub?
A hot tub must be drained and disconnected before the crew arrives. Clear a path to it, and tell us the size and how the tub sits in the yard or on a deck. That lets the crew plan the carry and the equipment.
Can I leave things inside my gun safe?
Empty it first. A lighter safe is easier to control on a dolly or on stairs. Movers also cannot carry ammunition, so it needs to travel with you by another route. Tell us the safe's size and where it sits.
Can you move a piano or pool table as part of a larger move?
Yes, specialty items can be part of a full home move or handled by themselves. Tell us about them when you ask for an estimate, so the crew brings the right equipment and the scope covers everything going on the truck.
What if I need storage between homes?
7B Moving works with Store Local Storage and Bulldog Self Storage for customers who need space between homes. Mention it when you describe your move, along with any heavy items, so those details are planned together.
