How do I know if my move counts as short-distance?

A short-distance move typically covers relocations within the same city, county, or region, including moves between neighborhoods, suburbs, or nearby towns. JK Moving specializes in local moves across Virginia and surrounding areas.

How far in advance should I book my short-distance move?

Booking 2–4 weeks in advance is recommended to secure your preferred moving date. During busy seasons like spring and summer, booking even earlier is ideal.

Can I have a virtual moving survey?

Yes. JK offers Yembo’s AI-driven software to enable real-time virtual surveys of household and office moves, speeding up inventory and estimates.

How long will my short-distance move take?

Most short-distance moves are completed the same day, often within a few hours. Timing depends on home size, item volume, and property access.

Do you provide packing and unpacking services?

Yes. Options include full-service packing, partial packing, or moving your pre-packed items. The team can also help with unpacking.

What should I do to prepare for moving day?

Clear pathways, label fragile items, and keep small valuables with you. If packing yourself, have boxes sealed and ready for loading.
