Typical weight and time
A large, fully furnished 5+ bedroom home weighs roughly 11,000–15,000+ pounds — five or more bedroom setups, multiple living and entertaining areas, a full kitchen, and often extensive garage, basement, and storage overflow. Homes at the higher end may need two trucks or two trips. Plan for a crew of 5-6+ movers and a multi-day process.
Insist on an in-home estimate
A phone or video-only estimate is far more likely to miss significant weight at this size — an in-person walkthrough by an experienced estimator is worth requiring before you accept a quote, not just a nice-to-have. See our guide to accurate estimates.
Plan for specialty items
Homes at this size are the most likely on this site to include a piano, safe, pool table, hot tub, or other specialty item — see our specialty item guides for what to check with your mover well before booking, since not every company handles every specialty item by default.
