Getting a Quote for a 3 Bedroom Apartment Move
Hi again, Sam here from B&B Moving. If you’re planning to move from a 3-bedroom apartment, I’m glad you found this post. Moving a larger space like a 3-bedroom apartment requires a bit more planning than smaller moves, especially when you’ve got more furniture, any appliances or piano, more boxes, and maybe a few extras in the storage. Don’t forget to mention garage and outdoor furniture.
The good news? A detailed inventory will go a long way toward getting you an accurate moving quote and a smooth move. Below, I’ll walk you through what we look for when quoting a move of this size—and I’ll share a real-world example of a 3-bedroom apartment contents list that you can use as a template.
What Movers Need to Know About a 3-Bedroom Apartment Move
When you request a quote, our goal is to give you a realistic estimate with no surprises, no hidden costs. For a 3-bedroom move, there are a few things we like to understand upfront:
- How many floors or elevators are involved?
- Are there any large, heavy, or specialty items (like a piano, treadmill, or large sectional)?
- Do you have items stored in a garage, attic, or storage unit?
- Will we be packing, or are you packing yourself?
The answers to these questions help us plan how many movers to send, how long the move will take, and what size truck you’ll need.

Sam’s Advice for a Smooth 3-Bedroom Move
- Label your boxes by room. It makes unloading and unpacking so much easier.
- Let us know about tight stairwells, long hallways, or limited parking. We’ll plan for it.
- Don’t wait until the last minute. Booking in advance secures your spot and helps us prepare your crew and truck.
