Boise Spa Movers - Review by All Movers

While their name screams “hot tubs,” they handle a lot more. They’re the team you call for the things that make other moving services nervously scratch their heads.

The process from start to finish felt more organized than many of the generalist movers I’ve dealt with in the past. Here’s a breakdown of my journey with them.

Getting a quote was the first step. I filled out a form on their website detailing the size of my hot tub, the addresses, and any potential obstacles like stairs or narrow gates. A real person called me back within a few hours – no endless phone tree.

Here’s what I appreciated: they asked specific questions. “Are there any sharp turns? What’s the surface of the path we’ll be using?” This told me they were already thinking through the logistics.

Based on that conversation, they gave me a fixed-price estimate. I grilled them a bit on this, asking about potential for a change order or hidden fees.

They were clear that unless the situation was drastically different from what I described (like an extra flight of stairs I “forgot” to mention), the price was the price. Their customer service on the front end was straightforward and reassuring.

On moving day, the moving crew showed up right on time. They did a quick walkthrough at the old house, confirmed the plan, and got right to work. They were a well-oiled machine. One person handled the final electrical disconnect while the others prepped the spa for lifting.

They protected my property at both locations, laying down protective sheeting on the lawn to avoid tearing it up with the dolly. They communicated with me throughout the process, letting me know when they were ready to head to the new location. The placement was the most impressive part.

They patiently worked with me to get the hot tub positioned exactly where I wanted it, down to the inch. After they left, there was no debris, no mess, just a perfectly placed hot tub. It was a completely different vibe from moves where crews are just rushing to get to the next job.

No company is perfect, and what works for one person might not be the best fit for another. Here’s my honest take on the highs and lows.

The cost of moving a spa or other heavy item can vary wildly based on distance, difficulty, and the item itself. It’s tough to give an exact number, but based on my moving quotes and research in a few community forum discussions, here’s a general idea. You can also use our moving cost calculator to budget for the household goods portion of your move. Always get a custom fixed-price estimate for your specific situation.

Please note that prices are estimates for informational purposes and may vary based on individual factors.

To give you some context, here’s how they stack up against a couple of other types of moving companies you might consider.

While their home base is right in the name, their service area extends beyond the city limits. They’ve built a reputation that has them traveling to handle jobs where local movers just don’t have the right skills or equipment.

Boise Spa Movers primarily serves the Treasure Valley and the surrounding states. Their main operational hub is in Boise, but they regularly handle moves in:

• • Idaho: Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Sun Valley, Twin Falls.
  • Oregon: Primarily Eastern Oregon towns like Ontario and Baker City.
  • Nevada: Northern Nevada, depending on the scope of the job.

It’s always best to call them directly to confirm if they service your specific area, especially for long-distance moving.

Here’s my final verdict.

Yes, Boise Spa Movers is an excellent moving company – if you need what they’re selling. If you have a hot tub, a family heirloom piano, or a safe that feels bolted to the center of the earth, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

My customer experience was smooth, professional, and worth every penny for the peace of mind it provided. The stress of moving that tub was completely taken off my shoulders.

However, if your move consists of standard furniture and a lot of cardboard boxes, you could probably find a more budget-friendly option. You wouldn’t hire a heart surgeon to put a bandage on your finger, right? Same principle. Their value is in their specialization.

The lack of customer complaints online regarding damaged specialty items is telling. They are masters of their craft. For heavy, valuable, and tricky items, they are absolutely one of the best choices you can make in the region.

If you’re not sure Boise Spa Movers is the right fit, or if you’re looking for a more traditional moving service, here are a few other solid options to consider:

1. Local General Movers: Companies like Meridian Movers or 208 Moving are fantastic for standard household moves within the Treasure Valley. They are often more cost-effective for moves that don’t involve specialty items.
2. National Van Lines: For long-distance or cross-country moves, established players like United Van Lines or Mayflower have the vast networks and resources to handle complex logistics that a smaller, specialized company might not.
3. DIY with Labor Help: If you’re on a tight budget, you can always rent a truck from a place like U-Haul and hire hourly labor from services like Moving Help to do the heavy lifting. This gives you control but requires a lot more work on your part.
