The longer answer
01Yes, with someone from your side there
Yes, our team can unhook a washer and dryer and move the pair to your new home. Because we are movers and not certified appliance technicians, we ask that someone from your side is present while they are disconnected, especially where water hoses or a gas line are involved.
02Who handles which part
| Task | Our crew | Your side |
|---|---|---|
| Unplug and pull machines from the wall | Yes | Be present |
| Water hoses on the washer | Disconnects with you there | Watch the shutoff valves |
| Gas dryer line | Only with you present | Present for the gas connection |
| Loading, padding and transport | Yes | Nothing needed |
| Stacking or fitting a ventless dryer into a closet at the new place | Team can assist | Present if gas is involved |
03What it costs
There is no appliance surcharge. Unhooking and hooking up only adds working minutes to the job, billed at the same hourly rate as the rest of your home move. A laundry pair that is easy to reach goes quickly; one tucked into a tight closet takes a bit longer.
04Before the crew gets there
- Run the last load a day or two early so the drum has time to dry out.
- Find the water shutoff valves and, for a gas dryer, the gas shutoff, and make sure they turn.
- Clear detergent bottles and laundry baskets off the machines.
- Measure the laundry space at the new home if you are not sure the pair will fit side by side or stacked.
You can add these items to your moving checklist for the week of the move.

FAQ Questions and answers
Do I need a plumber to disconnect a washer?
Usually not for a standard hookup. Our team handles the hoses with someone from your household watching, and you call a professional only if a valve or fitting is in bad shape.
Can you move a gas dryer?
Yes. The dryer itself is moved like any appliance, but the gas line is only disconnected and reconnected with a person from your side present.
Is there an extra charge for appliances?
No. Appliances cost only the time they take within your hourly move.
