Professional and efficient. Got my whole place done in a day. Ryan and John were awesome, no issues whatsoever. Would move again using Apaca.

Barbara Smith 15:59 09/11/26

I dealt with the front end process of getting a move set up for my son. I worked closely with Mr.Mills and was very pleased with his pleasant manner and professionalism. He was very through and helped me get as much information correctly provided as to give us a clear estimate for the move. My son had a bad experience with his last move and Mr. Mills was able to give him a comfort level for this move. The movers were quick and pleasant to be around. They completed the job in the estimated time frame.

Fred T 03:46 02/21/24

I’ve done several moves around the world and I have to commend Alpaca Moving and Storage for their excellent work and professionalism. The crew size was actually reflective of the size of my shipment (other moves in the past sent minimal crew) and they were very respectful of the property. They had a system in place that made things move quickly and efficiently. The items that were disassembled at the point of origin were reassembled and reassembled well. If I have to move ever again they will be my first call.

Massimo Valenti 15:21 01/30/24

This is my third move with these guys and as always they nailed it!!!! Thanks APACA we are loving our new home.

Chris Borchardt 20:03 09/05/23

We just wrapped up our best military move in 26 years and APACA was one of the heroes of the effort. Our 15,000lbs of household goods were packed up in Oklahoma City expecting a direct delivery move into a base home but our home was switched while we were on the road and APACA came through as the temporary storage for the five weeks we had to wait until we could move in.We move every two to three years in the military so we know the benefit of a direct delivery move that avoids several more sets of hands associated with loading and unloading to storage and finally on to your home. We were nervous having to add a storage stop to the move but APACA was fantastic from the start helping me collect motorcycles from the shipment that we’d need for transportation during the unexpected five week wait for a home.They kept in touch over the weeks verifying schedules and on delivery day they arrived as scheduled despite how unpredictable the Air Force gate security process can be. The entire team was professional and careful with our household goods and the home. For the first time in 26 years we had zero broken dishes, glass, or picture frames. Plenty of furniture padding was used resulting in only one noticeable chip on a large heavy dresser which is truly fantastic. We’re realistic and experienced regarding what typically happens on moves with awkward heavy furniture and we were pleasantly surprised at how carefully everything was handled. Our bicycles suffered some scuffs, a few things needed some wiping down to return them to pre-move condition, and a couple extremely fragile aircraft and boat models will need some minor straightforward repairs, but nothing unexpected or unreasonable. Everything that was important to us made it in fantastic shape.Moving is hard and filled with opportunities to break valuable and important things but APACA impressed me so much that when it came time to set up ‘non-temporary storage’ for the furniture that wouldn’t fit in the base home we prioritized them #1 on our wish list to come back. I can wholeheartedly recommend the APACA teams, planning representatives, and leadership that we worked with on this move (Aug 2023) and I will put them #1 on our list when it’s time to leave Albuquerque.Thanks APACA!Chris & Tammy

Proudly Serving Albuquerque & Alamogordo, New Mexico

APACA has called New Mexico home since 1956. We have watched Albuquerque grow from a small high-desert town into the state’s largest city. Alamogordo has remained a tight-knit community near Holloman Air Force Base and White Sands. Santa Fe has kept its historic look as the state capital. Today we move families and businesses across Albuquerque, Alamogordo, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, and everywhere in between, from historic Nob Hill homes and new builds out past the Westside to Canyon Road casitas and Railyard condos.

Moving here comes with its own challenges. Albuquerque sits above 5,000 feet, Alamogordo is around 4,300, and Santa Fe tops 7,000, so the thin, dry air can wear out a crew fast and crack wood furniture that isn’t packed with care. Summer monsoon storms roll in quickly across all three cities and can turn a moving day into a muddy mess if you aren’t ready. 

In Albuquerque, traffic at the I-25/I-40 interchange and the Kirtland Air Force Base gate can slow a truck if your crew doesn’t know the area. In Alamogordo, base access at Holloman and the drive out toward White Sands call for a crew that plans ahead. In Santa Fe, narrow streets around the Plaza and Canyon Road, along with winter snow and ice, means the right truck size and a smart route matter.

Our teams live and work in these communities. We know how to protect furniture from the dry air, time a move around monsoon season, get a truck through base security without losing half your moving day, and navigate Santa Fe’s tight historic streets. Wherever you’re moving to or from in New Mexico, you’re working with a company that’s been part of this state for almost 70 years.

Helpful Moving Tips for Albuquerque & Alamogordo

  • Schedule Around Monsoon Season: Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Alamogordo get their heaviest rain from July through September. Keep tarps and plastic wrap on hand, watch the forecast, and load in the morning before storms build.
  • Protect Wood Furniture From Dry Air: The high desert is very dry. Wood furniture and instruments can crack or warp in a truck, so ask your crew about moisture-conscious packing.
  • Plan for Base Access: For moves involving Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque or Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, allow extra time for gate security and paperwork, and tell your movers ahead of time.
  • Prepare for Elevation Changes: Albuquerque sits above 5,000 feet, Alamogordo around 4,300, and Santa Fe over 7,000. Take breaks during heavy lifting and stay hydrated.
  • Account for Santa Fe’s Narrow Streets: Historic neighborhoods have tight streets and limited truck access. Share parking and access details with your movers so they can bring the right truck.
  • Plan for Winter Weather: Snow and ice are common in Santa Fe and Albuquerque’s foothills. For December through February moves, confirm your crew’s plan for icy roads and driveways.
  • Label Boxes for Faster Unloading: Write the destination room and contents on at least two sides of every box so movers place items correctly the first time.
  • Pack a First-Day Box: Set aside medications, toiletries, chargers, tools, clothing, and important documents, and keep the box with you.
  • Update Your Address and Utilities: Notify the post office, banks, insurers, and subscriptions, and arrange electricity, water, and internet before you arrive in Albuquerque, Alamogordo, or Santa Fe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving costs in Albuquerque can vary widely depending on several factors. MoveBuddha notes, “The typical cost for hiring movers in Albuquerque, NM is $80 per hour with an average total move cost ranging from $284 to $2,628.” These costs can vary depending on the distance of the move, the number items being moved, and the type of service required.

  • Any special handling needs

 

This personalized approach ensures that our customers receive an accurate and fair quote, demonstrating our commitment to tailored service.

Getting a detailed quote that covers all aspects of your move is an important part of the moving process. A reputable moving company should always offer you a comprehensive quote for free. Be cautious of companies that charge you for a quote or who don’t bother to create a personalized one. According to The Culture Supplier, “Quotations can help in finding the right moving company that can provide you the moving services that you need for a price that doesn’t hurt your wallet.” Understanding the full scope of moving expenses upfront can significantly simplify the planning and budgeting for your move.

Yes, it’s quite standard for moving companies to provide both local moves within the same state and long-distance relocations that cross state lines. This flexibility caters to the diverse needs of individuals and families, as moving distances can vary greatly. However, it’s important to note that not all movers offer long-distance services that cover the entire country. Certain companies may limit the distance they cover. Always verify that a mover can accommodate your specific destination before finalizing your choice.

There are important differences between local and long-distance moves that require different levels of expertise. For local moves, knowledge about the immediate area and its regulations is necessary. In contrast, long-distance moves need comprehensive planning and compliance with interstate regulations. Understanding these differences is essential for successfully managing both types of relocations.

Apaca Moving & Storage prides itself on handling both local and long-distance moves with exceptional care and expertise. Our team’s dedication ensures that every detail is considered, making your move as seamless as possible. We provide personalized moving services to meet our clients’ diverse needs. “Every move is a new adventure, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way,” states owner Chris DiJulio.

In Albuquerque, full-service moving companies often include packing services and high-quality packing materials. These services are crucial for moves of any size, providing proper protection for every item. Using sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and plastic wrap helps protect your belongings so they arrive safely at your new home.

These companies typically employ skilled packers who are well-versed in the art of packing a wide array of items. They are experts at packing and will ensure your belongings are carefully protected from damage, regardless of size.

At Apaca Moving & Storage, we provide a stress-free moving experience by carefully packing and handling your belongings. Owner Chris DiJulio highlights, “Our team is equipped with the finest packing materials, and they bring a level of expertise that is unmatched. Whether you’re looking for help with a few special items or need comprehensive packing services.”

Moving companies are required to have specific licenses and insurance to legally operate and protect their customers’ belongings. Movers.com highlights, “You should find a company that is properly licensed to operate in your state and follows all necessary federal moving regulations.” This ensures that the moving company is liable for any damage or loss that occurs during transit. Moving companies generally carry general liability and worker’s compensation insurance to protect everyone involved in the moving process.

Moving companies must have a USDOT license number to operate across state lines. This license serves as a unique identifier and ensures that the company complies with regulations and safety practices. You can verify a moving company’s USDOT license through the FMCSA’s Federal Movers Database.

Moving companies operating within a state must obtain specific state licenses. Each state has its own requirements, which vary in name and specifications. To operate legally in New Mexico, moving companies must get the appropriate state license. In California, you need a mandatory CPUC license for operations, which is different from licenses in other states.

At Apaca Moving & Storage, we maintain all required licenses and insurance policies. This helps us ensure that we operate within the law while also giving peace of mind to our clients. We operate under our USDOT license (#), Motor Carrier (MC) license (#) and MPRC License (#) while complying with all regulations for our services in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas. Our owner, Chris DiJulio, emphasizes, “Our top priority is to protect our clients’ possessions.” We prioritize secure and reliable moves by following necessary protection and compliance standards.

Watch out for movers who give a binding quote without inspecting your home or inventory, demand a large upfront deposit or cash-only payment, or can’t show a valid license, USDOT number, and proof of insurance. Other warning signs include missing written paperwork, unmarked rental trucks, no verifiable local address, a quote far below competitors, high-pressure pushes to sign right away, and vague or suspicious reviews. To stay safe, get at least three written estimates and check each company’s complaints with the FMCSA and BBB before you book.

Understanding the available coverage options for lost or damaged items during a move in Albuquerque is important.  According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, “Your mover is responsible for the value of the goods you asked them to transport.” The most basic protection provided is known as Limited Liability Coverage, which is required by government regulations. This coverage compensates at 60 cents per pound per item. If a 25-pound TV, for instance, were damaged or lost, the compensation under this plan would be limited to $15. This coverage is provided automatically at no extra cost but offers limited protection.

Apaca Moving & Storage offers different protection plans for your belongings. If you want more protection, you may opt for the Full Value Protection plan. This is the more comprehensive, but also more expensive, option for protecting your belongings.” This plan covers the current market value of any lost or damaged goods. It also covers the cost of repairs for items that can be fixed.” But please note that the plan only compensates for the current market value of the lost or damaged item.

Choose the Items of Extraordinary Value plan for high-value items like antiques, artwork, or jewelry. You must declare these items to Apaca before the move to ensure their full protection. Failing to do so could result in inadequate coverage. Our owner, Chris DiJulio explains, “Our goal is to offer peace of mind and security for your belongings.” We understand that choosing the right protection plan is a significant decision. That’s why we’re here to guide our clients through selecting the best option for their move.”

Apaca is committed to delivering a moving experience that combines efficiency, security, and customer satisfaction. Whether you’re moving across town or the country, your valuables will be protected in a way that best suits your needs.
