Virtual Moving Estimates
"*" indicates required fields
Virtual moving estimates are estimates given to customers after their moving company conducts a free, virtual walkthrough of their home. No matter where you are or what services you need, Muscular Moving Men offers a virtual survey for you, your family, and your business. We don't need to conduct an in-home visit, and you don't need to sign up for our services or pay any money for virtual moving estimates.
Virtual moving estimates help you save time because virtual walkthroughs take less time than in-person estimates. But before you sign up for a virtual survey, you should learn a little more about a video moving estimate, including how to prepare for one in advance.
We serve all of Phoenix and the entire Valley of the Sun, including Scottsdale, Tempe, and Gilbert. We’ve earned thousands of positive Google reviews for our moving services, including free virtual moving estimates. Here's what to know about virtual moving estimates.
A Virtual Survey: A Better Way to Get Your Moving Quote
The most convenient way to get an accurate estimate for moving is a virtual estimate. You can conduct the in-home estimate from your smartphone or tablet computer on your schedule, sitting on your couch. It's quick and free, requiring only a stable internet connection and your phone or tablet computer.
An expert mover at Muscular Moving Men will see your home and actual items, so your quote will reflect the actual cost of relocating your belongings. You'll be talking with a trained, experienced, and professional mover with our moving team, not someone working in a call center. Your estimator knows what moving in the Phoenix area is like, and they'll give you a price reflective of what moving in Greater Phoenix is like.

How the Entire Process of Our Virtual Moving Survey Works
- Schedule your video chat by phone. Call 877-434-8668 to set up your video call for a time that works best for you.
- Get your confirmation for your video chat. We will send you a confirmation email and text with your appointment time, details, and a link to your chat.
- Join the video call. At your appointment time, when you're ready to start, you can tap the link from your estimator to start your call in your preferred browser.
- Walk through your home with your smartphone or tablet computer. Show your estimator the rooms and items you want moved. Your estimator will guide you during the process, and you don't have to show anything you don't want to show.
- Get your virtual moving estimate. Your estimator will use what they see to write you an accurate estimate with customized details soon after the video chat.
How to Prepare for Your Virtual Walkthrough
- Use a phone or tablet computer with a working camera. You can use a laptop if you need to, but a phone or tablet is ideal because you need to carry it from room to room.
- The virtual walkthrough typically takes 20 to 30 minutes, so make sure your device is fully charged. Make sure you have enough time to complete your walkthrough without rushing anything.
- Connect to a strong Wi-Fi signal so your video quality remains clear during the move. If you go off Wi-Fi, you risk losing your quality or paying costly carrier data charges.
- Turn on all the lights and open curtains in the rooms you're showing. If you're showing a dark closet, attic, basement, or garage, you can use a flashlight or lantern.
- Open your closets, cabinets, closed drawers, and storage areas before your video call so you can show everything you need your movers to relocate.
- Your estimator may ask for the dimensions of items, so keep a tape measure or a ruler on hand.
- If you're storing items in a storage unit, an office, or another off-site location, provide photos or videos of the items to your moving coordinator.
- Walk a clear path in advance and know the route you plan on taking so the walkthrough goes smoothly.
What to Expect During Your Video Chat
- The more you show during your video chat, the more accurate your quote will be. Show every space you need your moving company to access, including your garage, shed, attic, patio, closets, basement, garden, and yards.
- Show the exterior of your home, including parking areas for your moving company's trucks and staircases. If you live in an apartment building, show elevators, common areas, and loading docks.
- Be clear about what you need your movers to relocate and what you don't need them to relocate. Point out the items you want moved on camera, and tell them directly which items you don't want to be moved.
- Point out high-value items like antiques, fine art, heirlooms, grandfather clocks, and china so your movers know to give great care to them.
- Flag fragile items like glass and oversized items like pianos and furniture. You can hire our Phoenix piano movers and Phoenix white glove delivery movers to handle your fragile, valuable, and oversized belongings.
