What to Include When You Contact Collegiate Movers

The more we know about your move, the more accurate your estimate will be. When you call or send the form, it helps to share:

• Your moving date, and whether it is flexible.
• Your current address and your new address, or at least the towns.
• The size of your home, such as a one-bedroom apartment or a four-bedroom house.
• Access at both homes, including stairs, elevators, steep driveways and parking.
• Large, heavy or delicate items, such as a piano, safe, gun cabinet, antiques, artwork or exercise equipment.
• Services you want, such as full packing, partial packing, loading only or unpacking.
• Anything unusual, such as a storage unit pickup, a second stop or a tight deadline.

Photos or a short video of each room can also help us understand your move.

What Happens After You Contact Us

1. We review your details. We look at your homes, your date and the items you are moving.
2. We ask any questions. If something is unclear, we call or email to confirm details.
3. You receive a written estimate. It explains the services, the crew and how the price is calculated.
4. You book your date. Once you are ready, we reserve your moving date and start time.
5. We confirm before moving day. A few days before the move, we confirm the date, time and both addresses.

Get a Free Moving Quote in Roanoke

Every quote from Collegiate Movers is free. Local moves start from $350, and your final estimate depends on:

• The size of your home and how much you are moving.
• The distance between your homes.
• Stairs, elevators and the walk from the door to the truck.
• Packing services and materials.
• Heavy or delicate items that need extra care.
• Your moving date. Summer, weekends and the end of the month are the busiest.

To lower your cost, sort and donate what you do not need before the move, pack the easy items yourself and choose a weekday or mid-month date if you can.

Types of Moving Estimates Explained

When you contact any mover, you will hear a few different words for estimates. Here is what they usually mean, so you can ask the right questions.

Phone or Online Estimate

Based on the details you share by phone, form or email. It works well for smaller local moves when you give a clear list of rooms, large items and access at both homes.

Photo or Video Estimate

You send photos or a short video of each room. This helps the mover see furniture, boxes and tight spaces without a visit, and it often gives a more accurate number.

Binding and Non-Binding Estimates

For interstate moves, federal rules describe binding estimates, where the price is fixed for the items and services listed, and non-binding estimates, where the final price depends on the actual weight or time. Ask any mover which type you are getting and what could change it. The FMCSA Protect Your Move site explains these terms in detail.

When you contact Collegiate Movers, we explain how your estimate is calculated and what it includes before you book.

Information for Different Kinds of Moves

Families and Homeowners

Tell us how many bedrooms you have, whether there is a basement, attic or garage, and which large items are coming with you. Mention anything that needs special care, like a piano, antiques or a home gym.

Students and Parents

Share the school, the dorm or apartment, the move-in or move-out date and any building rules about elevators and time slots. If parents are booking for a student, let us know who will be on site on moving day.

Seniors and Their Families

Tell us about the new home or community, how much furniture will fit and whether you need help deciding what to take. If family members are helping from out of town, we can keep them updated by phone or email.

Businesses

Share the size of your office, the number of workstations, any equipment or files and the hours you need to stay open. A floor plan of the new space helps us plan where everything goes. Learn more on our commercial movers page.

Long Distance Moves

Tell us the destination city and state, your ideal pickup date and when you need to be in your new home. That helps us plan a delivery window that works with your travel.

Tips for a Faster Quote

• Count the rooms you are moving, including garages, sheds and storage units.
• List furniture over about 100 pounds or larger than a standard doorway.
• Note stairs, elevators and the distance from the door to where a truck can park.
• Decide whether you want packing help, or pack the easy items yourself.
• Have two or three possible dates ready in case your first choice is booked.

With these details ready, a call to (540) 992-1414 usually takes only a short time, and your estimate can follow quickly.

We are based in Roanoke and move customers across Southwest Virginia, including Salem, Vinton, Cave Spring, Hollins, Botetourt County, Bedford, Smith Mountain Lake, Lynchburg and the New River Valley. We also move customers to every part of Virginia and to other states. See the full list on our service areas page. If your town is not listed, contact Collegiate Movers anyway. We probably serve it.

Moving to Another State?

We regularly move customers within about 200 miles of Roanoke.

Tell us both addresses, your moving date and the size of your home, and we will let you know what is possible and send a written estimate. Moves outside our regular area are quoted individually, so the price depends on the distance and the details of your move. See our long distance movers page for more.

• Finish packing before the crew arrives, and label boxes by room.
• Defrost the refrigerator and freezer a day before the move.
• Reserve elevators or loading areas if your building requires it.
• Keep space in front of both homes clear for the truck.
• Pack an essentials bag with medications, documents, chargers and a change of clothes.
• Keep valuables, jewelry and important papers with you.

Contact Collegiate Movers for Packing Help

Packing is often the part of a move people want help with most. When you contact Collegiate Movers about packing, tell us which rooms you want packed, whether you need boxes and materials, and if there are fragile or valuable items that need extra care. We offer:

• Full packing of every room, from the kitchen to the closets.
• Partial packing of the rooms or items you choose, often the kitchen and fragile pieces.
• Fragile-only packing for dishes, glassware, artwork, mirrors and electronics.
• Unpacking at your new home so you can settle in faster.

For larger homes, packing usually happens the day before the move so moving day stays on schedule.

What Our Crew Needs From You on Moving Day

• Someone on site at both homes to answer questions and do a final walkthrough.
• A clear path from each room to the truck, with hallways, stairs and the driveway kept free.
• Parking for the truck as close to the door as possible.
• Boxes packed and closed before the crew arrives, unless we are packing for you.
• Pets and young children kept in a safe, quiet place while the crew works.
• A phone number where we can reach you during the move.

These small steps help the crew work safely, protect your home and finish your move on time. If anything about your move changes, contact Collegiate Movers before moving day so we can plan for it.

Contact Us on Moving Day

If plans change on the day of your move, such as a delay at closing, a building access problem or a change of address, call our office at (540) 992-1414 as soon as you can. The sooner we know, the easier it is to adjust the crew and the schedule.

Contact Collegiate Movers After Your Move

If you have a question or a concern after your move, please call us. We want to hear about it and work with you to resolve it. And if you were happy with your move, a review on Google helps other families and businesses in the Roanoke Valley. Read what other customers have said on our reviews page.

Ways to Contact Collegiate Movers Compared

Each way to contact Collegiate Movers has its own strengths. Choose the one that fits your situation.

• Phone: best when you have questions, a tight timeline or a date to check right away. Call (540) 992-1414 during business hours.
• Quote form: best when you want to share details at any hour. The form on this page goes straight to our team.
• Email: best when you want to send photos, a list of furniture or a floor plan for a business move.

Whichever way you choose, you will hear back from a member of our local Roanoke team, not a call center. If you contact Collegiate Movers after hours, we reply on the next business day, Monday to Saturday.

Contact Collegiate Movers About Special Items

Some belongings need extra planning, extra hands or special materials. When you contact Collegiate Movers, mention items such as pianos, safes, large mirrors, glass tabletops, antiques, artwork, aquariums, exercise machines and oversized sectional sofas. Photos and rough measurements help. If an item needs a specialist, we will tell you up front so you can plan for it.

It also helps to mention items that are staying behind, such as appliances included in a home sale, so the crew does not load them by mistake. Clear details at the start mean fewer surprises on moving day and a more accurate estimate.

Not sure where to start? That is completely normal. Many customers contact us with only a rough date and a general idea of the move. We will walk you through the details step by step, suggest the services that make sense and leave the decision to you. There is no pressure and no obligation to book.
