By Spina’s Moving Services LLC – Pine Bush, NY

Hiring a professional moving company is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning a move. Whether you're relocating your home or business, the right team can help reduce stress, save time, and protect your belongings. At Spina’s Moving Services LLC, we believe in doing things the right way—with integrity, care, and professionalism. Here are the top 5 things to look for when hiring a moving company, and why Spina’s Moving Services stands out from the rest.

A Strong Local Reputation and Verified Reviews

Before trusting a moving company with your home or business, check what others are saying. Verified reviews on Google, Facebook, Yelp, and other platforms give you a real-world view of how a company operates. Look for consistent praise for punctuality, professionalism, and care with customers' belongings.

Spina’s Moving Services LLC has earned a 5-star reputation thanks to our customer-first approach and reliable service throughout the Hudson Valley.

Proper Licensing and Insurance

Always make sure your movers are licensed and insured. This is your safety net in case of accidental damage or unexpected events. A professional moving company should be transparent about their credentials and willing to provide proof of coverage.

Spina’s Moving Services LLC is fully insured and operates with all required local and state credentials, giving you complete peace of mind.

Honest, Transparent Pricing

A trustworthy mover provides upfront, detailed pricing with no hidden fees. Be wary of unusually low quotes—they often come with surprise add-ons or compromised service quality.

At Spina’s Moving Services LLC, we believe in clear, competitive pricing. You’ll receive an accurate estimate based on your specific move, with no last-minute surprises.

Experience and Customized Services

No two moves are the same. Whether you're moving locally in the Hudson Valley or relocating a business across counties, the movers you hire should be experienced in handling your type of move. Look for services like packing, heavy lifting, furniture assembly, or specialty item handling (like pianos or antiques).

We specialize in residential and small commercial moves and offer add-on services like packing, item protection, and secure transport. Our team is trained, efficient, and respectful of your space and time.

Clear Communication and Professionalism

From the initial phone call to the final box, professionalism matters. Good movers are communicative, courteous, and organized. If you feel ignored or rushed during the estimate process, it may be a preview of the move itself.

At Spina’s Moving Services LLC, we lead with honesty, communication, and care. Our founder, Shawn Spina, is known for his hands-on customer service and commitment to doing the job right the first time.

Our mission is simple: “To move more than just belongings — we move lives with honesty, care, and commitment.” We treat every move as if it were our own. We show up on time, handle your property with respect, and stay true to our word—even when it costs us—because we believe that’s how reputation is built.
