The Best Office Moving Companies in 2024

Our top pick: United Van Lines earned the number one spot for offering the most office move–friendly services of any company on our list. We like that it includes electronics and furniture setup and offers full-value protection on every move. All our top picks are worth considering, though, and might be a better fit for your office move.

If you’re looking for other options, many of our favorite moving companies also do office moves.

United Van Lines tops our list thanks to its electronic installation services and full-value moving coverage on every move. So whether your company works with pricey equipment or you just want to rest easy knowing your computers are in good hands, you can benefit from United’s electronics expertise and moving coverage.

United will handle the disassembly and reassembly of your office furniture, disconnect and reinstall your electronics—including computers and phones—and help set up your PC networks.

We can’t stress how convenient it is to have these services included in your move. Not only will this speed up the entire process (and get you back to work in no time), but it’ll also save you from having to hire additional help. Plus, half the battle of an office move is making sure your technological setup is sound.

Every moving company offers basic valuation (a.k.a. insurance) on full-service moves, which means you’ll be reimbursed $0.60 per pound if your CEO’s desk cracks in half or that hand-blown glass vase from your lobby shatters in transit. But with United’s full-value protection, you’ll get $6.00 per pound to repair or replace damaged items.

You may or may not consider this coverage important for a personal move—where your most valuable item is your $150 dresser—but you definitely don’t want to take any risks with valuable electronics and office furniture.

(Pssst: If you want even more protection, for $5.50 United lets you purchase additional insurance in increments of $1,000.)

Bekins has decades of experience in full-service moving, and with a history of hauling medical equipment, computers, IT equipment, and even heavy machinery, Bekins has the expertise to handle your company’s relocation.

The only reason Bekins didn’t land higher on our list is because it doesn’t currently install electronics. However, if you’re planning on having your employees set up your equipment, Bekins has other services for a smooth office move.

Bekins has revolutionized the run-of-the-mill, industry standard packing method for office moves. Instead of placing computers and TVs into individual cardboard boxes, Bekins movers stack these items in rows of twelve on a metal cart and shrink wraps the whole thing for good measure.

Not only does this reduce the amount of space in your truck and free up more room for things (like that overused ping pong table in the breakroom), but it also actually saves you from having to buy twelve times the number of boxes you would have if you’d packed each computer separately.

Since Bekins is a nationwide brand, it has the resources (both in trucks and movers) to move offices with 100+ employees—which is not something every moving company can claim.

No matter how many desks, chairs, and cubicle walls you need to break down and pack up, you’ll want as many sets of hands as possible—especially if you want to keep your business up and running during your move.

Plus, Bekins has a reputation for great customer service, which can make working alongside movers as they pack up your office a whole lot less stressful, allowing you to be more productive and efficient during your move.

With a large workforce and years of experience on small and large loads alike, North American Van Lines can handle everything from small office relocations to hotel chain moves.

Although northAmerican has a higher overall rating than United and Bekins, it doesn’t offer as many services specific to office moves (i.e., professional installation), which is why it ranked fourth on our list.

Although North American Van Lines doesn’t provide installation services, it’s the only company on our list that offers disposal, donation, and refurbishment services—document shredding and donation drop-offs, for example. And while shredding may be low on your priority list, it’ll reduce the weight of your move, which reduces cost as well—since overall weight factors into the total cost of your move.

The same way you’d downsize before a personal move, you’ll want to toss things—like those “comfortable” office chairs or that “functioning” fax machine —that are old, outdated, or that will be more cost-effective to replace in your new location.

Before you move a single filing cabinet, northAmerican will help you map out both your current office and your new space so that movers can strategically load, unload, and rearrange your desk, chairs, monitors, etc. in a timely manner.

Transition planning makes office moves more organized and planned which makes your move more efficient and quicker, allowing you to pick up your business right where it left off.

Plus, if something unexpected happens during your move, like finding out your new office isn’t ready on your scheduled move-in date, planning ahead for things like temporary storage can eliminate any last-minute scrambling and stress.

Just because a moving company does full-service moves well doesn’t mean they also excel at office moves. Here are the most important corporate moving services to look for as you’re researching:

Unlike home moves—where you may leave unopened boxes stashed away in your attic for months—office moves must be completed quickly and efficiently. Disorganization wastes time (which means lost money), so it’s important to go with a moving company that will be thorough, organized, and professional in how they pack, load, and unpack your items.

Telltale signs of next-level organization are companies that label boxes, pack and load based on blueprint-guided notes, and itemize inventory.

Only one commercial moving company (United) on our list offers electronics installation and office setup, which is why we ranked it at the top. We don’t recommend discounting a company if they don’t offer this service, but help hooking up monitors, internet, and satellite or cable TV can save you time, money, and headaches—especially if you don’t have a tech-savvy team.

Relocating your business is stressful enough, which is why you should look for a moving company that can help you figure out the details of how you’re going to make it happen. A good office mover will compare a blueprint of your current office to plans for your new space to make the packing, loading, unpacking, and setup process as efficient as possible.

The best office moving companies are willing to work on your timetable to cause as little disruption to your business as possible—whether that means coming in after hours, on the weekend, or packing up and moving one part of your office while another is still in use.

It’s also smart to go with a moving company that offers temporary storage, so that on the off chance you’re unable to move into your new office as planned, you’ll have somewhere to house your stuff.

Here’s a recap of the best office move–specific services to look for (but keep in mind that your office move might not need every add-on feature):

• Furniture disassembly and reassembly
• Transition planning
• Professional installation
• Custom crating
• Disposal services
• Installation services
• Broadband partnerships
• Storage options

When you’re planning a big office relocation, ask yourself these questions to ensure your move goes smoothly:

• Do I need transportation for computers and electronics?
• Will I require network and electronics setup?
• Am I moving desks and furniture for 100+ people?
• Am I getting rid of anything?
• Will I require comprehensive moving coverage?
• Do I need help planning my relocation?

If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” then you’re in luck. Every company on this list is equipped to handle some or all of these situations, so you can get one-stop-shopping convenience for your office move.

Move.org evaluates and identifies the moving industry’s best full-service movers using a fivefold research approach:

• Compare pricing transparency. We gather quotes, check for binding estimates, and read customer reviews about pricing to ensure each moving company’s prices are trustworthy. 

• Review accreditation. We check every company’s records in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database to confirm companies are properly authorized to transport household goods.

• Mystery shopping. We review every company’s website, pose as customers in calls to companies, and read customer reviews to analyze every company’s moving services, transit protection, and customer service. We also interview actual customers to learn how their moves went from start to finish.

• Site visits.  We invite moving companies to our headquarters in Salt Lake City, UT, to share data and expertise. We verify the information they provide by comparing it to data gathered through independent research and interviews with other movers.
• Regular review. We routinely repeat this process to update our recommendations to reflect current data and trends. We also revise each review annually and make updates throughout the year.
