Preparing for Moving Day
The process of moving starts long before the movers arrive at your home. Follow these steps to prepare:

Moving Out of Rochester
Rochester moves cover a lot of ground, literally. City neighborhoods like Park Avenue and the South Wedge mean older multi-story homes, street parking permits, and tight staircases. The suburbs, from Brighton to Pittsford to Greece, swing the other way: large family homes with finished basements, multi-car garages, and a decade of accumulation in every closet. Add the region’s major employers, universities, and medical centers, and you get a steady current of households relocating for the next opportunity.
That is where Naglee fits. Long-distance moves are the core of what a United Van Lines agent does, and we have moved families out of Western New York to every corner of the country. Working with an agent based outside the metro often means sharper pricing than the big-city operations charge, without giving up an inch of capability. For collectors, our fine arts division crates and ships artwork to museum standards, a service Rochester households usually assume requires a New York City company. It does not.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We answer the questions people actually ask before hiring a mover: licensing, coverage, pricing, and what happens on moving day.
What do movers in Rochester, NY cost?
Long-distance pricing follows shipment weight, mileage, and services like packing or storage. We provide free estimates with every cost factor explained, and binding estimates are available for qualifying moves.
How far ahead should I book a Rochester move?
For interstate moves, six to eight weeks gives you the best choice of dates and delivery windows. Summer demand peaks across the whole industry, so earlier is always safer.
Why hire a mover based outside Rochester?
As a United Van Lines agent, we deliver the same national network, licensing, and coverage as metro agents, often at better rates. Your move is coordinated directly with us from estimate through delivery.
Do you handle fine art and collections from Rochester?
Yes. Naglee Fine Arts crates, transports, and stores artwork to museum standards and coordinates TSA screening for air shipments, serving collectors throughout Western New York.
Do you disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes. Disassembly, labeled hardware, and reassembly at the destination are standard, with each piece placed where you direct.
Is storage included if my new home is not ready?
Storage is available at our climate-controlled facility and through the United network nationwide. Storage-in-transit can be built into long-distance moves when dates do not align.
