HIRING PROFESSIONAL MOVERS

If you have a large and complex move, you are going to need professional help to make sure your possessions arrive in the same condition they left in. But how can you find a quality mover who has honesty and integrity? Even more importantly, how can you fit that professional move into your overall budget?

There are a few things you can do to lower the cost of those professional moving services. With a few simple changes, you can reduce the high cost of moving and still get the professional service and appropriate property protection. Here are just a couple of things you’ll want to do to hook up with the right company!

• Get your hands on referrals or recommendations
  It is essential to check the movers out carefully. Read the reviews, ask lots of questions, ensure you are across terms and conditions and know what is and is not included in the service.
• Even though you’re going to be able to find information about every important moving company in the area on Google, you’re still going to want to try and get your hands on any personal referrals or recommendations for people that you trust.
• Take advantage of an in-home estimate
  Secondly, you better make sure that the movers you are thinking about hiring will come out to your home and provide you with a legitimate in-home estimate.
  Moving services that are willing to blindly ensure you with an estimate over the phone, probably aren’t going to be as trustworthy as those that understand the value of looking at the job before quoting a price. If you don’t want to get hit with a surprise bill or an extra fee that you didn’t anticipate, you’ll want to go with the free in-home estimate.
• Outline everything in writing
  Make sure you have absolutely EVERYTHING about your moving contract down in writing before you even think about getting started.
  You’ll want to outline who is responsible for what, have all deadlines established, and make sure that the terms of your move are clearly described before you get started. This information is going to be shared during communication, but you’ll want to have it in writing so that there isn’t any confusion.
• Let movers handle your heavy lifting
  Professional movers will do all of the heavy lifting for you, as well as all of the packing and all of the transporting. Some companies will even do all of the unpacking! Professional movers know how to move. They’ve been doing this professionally for years. They’ll bring all the equipment to make sure that heavy items are appropriately managed. Professional movers also have the know-how of how to safely move awkward or large items without injury. The more you know, the easier it will be to complete the move without losing your mind or your money. Just make sure that you can minimize as much stress and pressure from the movement as possible by taking advantage of the best professional services in the area.
