Moving can be a hassle. There’s so much to do between the packing, the hauling, and the loading — especially while tending to the other facets of moving to a new home, like setting up utilities and modifying the space. However, hiring movers could be a very good thing for you to look into.
Hiring Movers
Fortunately, hiring professional movers can help by taking a huge burden off your shoulders and ensuring your prized possessions are moved safely and with the utmost care to your new destination.
5 Questions When Hiring Movers
But you do want to choose a reliable company. If you’re considering hiring movers, here’s what to ask to find great service.
- Are you licensed, bonded, and insured? Ensure the moving company you hire has the proper licensing to transport your items and the insurance and bonding to protect you from liability and theft.
- Do you handle all parts of your moves in-house? Some companies only do one aspect of the move, then contract the rest to third parties. Make sure you know who you’ll be working with every step of the way.
- How long have you been in business? Find out about the company’s experience and history — and how they train their employees. You can even ask for references and check online reviews.
- Is there anything you won’t move? Many movers refuse to move things like pianos, firearms, and high-value or irreplaceable items. Ask if there are any off-limits items you’ll need to handle yourself.
- What equipment do you have? Do you need furniture and appliance dollies with moving straps? How about blankets for protecting mirrors and other large breakables? Your movers should be able to supply that equipment.
Thankfully, several moving companies in the area improve things for the family. Places like 2 Men and a Truck, Huys Bros. Moving, INC., etcetera.
