All My Sons Moving & Storage

US DOT: 1981150

4.7(4001 reviews)
All My Sons Moving has been making Phoenix relocations a breeze for over 40 years, earning their spot as the go-to movers for homes and businesses alike. This tight-knit family business stands out by treating customers like their own relatives—no cookie-cutter approaches here. Their crew doesn't just toss things in boxes; they've mastered the art of wrapping, packing, and transporting everything from grandma's china to office equipment with the care it deserves. What makes them special? They've somehow cracked the code on being both big enough to handle any move (even international ones) while still remembering your name and your dog's favorite hiding spot on moving day. Their services cover all the bases—local moves across town, cross-country hauls, overseas shipping, secure storage units, business relocations, and specialty packing for those items that keep you up at night worrying. Their teams actually show up when they say they will (imagine that!), take apart your furniture and put it back together without mysterious leftover screws, tell you exactly what you'll pay without surprise fees, and genuinely seem to care about making your move day suck less. They've figured out how to be pros without being robots, handling the heavy lifting while adding that human touch that turns a typically chaotic moving experience into something that might not make you break into a cold sweat after all.

Lifetime Moving & Storage

US DOT: 2553264

4.6(380 reviews)
Phoenix residents have come to appreciate Lifetime Moving & Storage as their trusted relocation partner, a locally-owned company that's been making moves easier throughout the Valley of the Sun with genuine care that feels more like working with friends than hiring a service. What really sets them apart from other Phoenix movers is their family-style approach – they treat every customer's belongings as if they were moving their own relatives, which explains why so many clients become repeat customers who eagerly recommend them to neighbors. Based right on West Lincoln Street, this BBB-accredited team knows Phoenix's neighborhoods inside and out, from Scottsdale's upscale communities to downtown's growing districts, and they handle everything from careful packing of delicate antiques to managing complex corporate relocations across state lines. Their commitment goes beyond just loading trucks – they offer climate-controlled storage solutions perfect for Arizona's intense heat, plus they actually answer their phones promptly and keep customers informed throughout the entire process. While other companies often subcontract work or surprise customers with hidden fees, Lifetime maintains direct control over every move and provides transparent pricing that actually matches their initial estimates.

About the city

Phoenix: Moving trends and city insights

Phoenix stands as America's 5th largest city and one of the hottest moving destinations in 2024, with metro Phoenix adding nearly 85,000 new residents—including 21,000 domestic transplants and 49,000 international newcomers. The Valley attracted 133,610 movers from other metros, with Los Angeles leading the charge at 13,574 relocations. This explosive growth fuels a thriving moving industry serving a population of 1.67 million in the city and 4.78 million metro-wide. With 26+ professional moving companies competing for business, local moves average $450-$1,800 while long-distance relocations run $1,500-$6,000. The city's magnetic pull comes from robust job growth of 2.7%, a 3.2% unemployment rate, and median home prices around $410,000—significantly lower than California markets. Arizona ranks 5th nationally for out-of-state migration with over 53,000 annual movers, making Phoenix a goldmine for moving companies positioned to serve this steady stream of families and professionals seeking desert sunshine and economic opportunity.

How to choose a moving company

What to verify before you book, and the warning signs of a moving scam.

  1. Verify USDOT and MC numbers

    Every interstate mover must carry an active USDOT number, and for-hire interstate carriers an MC number. Look them up free on the FMCSA SAFER system before you book.

  2. Insist on an in-person or video survey

    Reputable movers inspect your belongings before quoting. Prices given sight-unseen routinely get revised upward on moving day.

  3. Get a binding or not-to-exceed estimate in writing

    A binding (or guaranteed not-to-exceed) estimate caps what you pay; a non-binding estimate can climb. Confirm which one you have on paper.

  4. Understand your valuation coverage

    Federal rules give you two choices: free Released Value ($0.60 per pound, minimal) or Full Value Protection. Know which applies and get it in writing.

  5. Confirm the Bill of Lading and inventory

    Every legitimate move has a Bill of Lading (your contract) and usually an inventory list. No paperwork, walk away.

  6. Cross-check reviews and the legal name

    Read reviews across Google, the Better Business Bureau, and Yelp, and confirm the legal name matches the DOT registration. Movers sometimes operate under several names.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire movers in Phoenix in 2026?

Licensed Phoenix movers charge an average of $140/hr for a 2-mover-plus-truck crew. The standard range is $110–$159/hr, covering about 47% of the market. Budget carriers start near $80/hr, while white-glove services reach $225+/hr. Gig labor (TaskRabbit, Craigslist) runs $25–$50/person but carries no USDOT coverage or liability protection.

When is the cheapest time to move in Phoenix?

January and February offer the lowest rates at roughly $120/hr (baseline). Mid-week moves on Tuesday or Wednesday save an additional 10–15% versus Saturday peak rates. Avoid July, when rates spike 30% above baseline due to school calendar deadlines (classes start as early as July 16) and extreme heat premiums that limit crews to pre-dawn windows.

Do extreme summer temperatures affect Phoenix moving costs?

Yes. When daytime highs exceed 110°F (typically June–August), most carriers restrict loading to 5–9 AM windows, compressing available crew hours and triggering a 10–20% seasonal surcharge. Monsoon season (July–August) can halt outdoor loading during haboob dust storms. Proposed heat-safety legislation (HB2684/HB2790) may mandate additional rest-period requirements.

Are movers in Phoenix required to be licensed?

Arizona is the most deregulated moving market among major U.S. metros. The state requires no moving-specific license, no surety bond, and no minimum insurance for intrastate household goods movers. This means 25–40% of Phoenix moves involve gig or unlicensed operators. Always verify a mover's USDOT number on the FMCSA SAFER database before hiring.
