Small Moves
Sterling Van Lines specializes in small moves for loads under 2,000 pounds, ideal for relocations involving a few rooms or specific items. Our service ensures cost-effective, efficient transport with a minimum weight requirement of 400 pounds, significantly lower than industry standards. This option is perfect for clients needing to move furniture, electronics, or personal belongings without the expense of full van lines.
Piano Moving
With 30 years of experience, we provide specialized piano moving services, ensuring safe transport for grand, baby grand, and upright pianos. Our team uses custom crating, padding, and secure loading techniques to protect instruments during transit. Clients benefit from our expertise in navigating stairs, narrow doorways, and other logistical challenges unique to piano relocations.
Estate Moves
Our estate moving service assists families in dividing and transporting valuable or sentimental items, including antiques and heirlooms. We offer categorization, packing, and delivery to multiple destinations, with low minimums that reduce costs compared to traditional van lines. This service is tailored for clients managing estate settlements or downsizing.
Packing & Crating
Sterling Van Lines provides expert packing and crating for fragile or irregularly shaped items, including china, glassware, and ornate furniture.
