Your moving day is approaching, and you think you should hire movers. The move is much more than simply packing and transporting your belongings from one location to another. A successful move requires a significant amount of planning and coordination. To avoid the stress that moves cause, you should hire professionals. A good moving company will make the whole process easier and less stressful. Read on and find out why you should hire professional movers.
Move will be finished faster if you hire movers.
If you try to move by yourself, it may take days or weeks. You need to pack everything, organize it, and then, in the end, move it. You will end up with the feeling that you are moving forever. On the other hand, if you decide to hire professional movers, they will finish everything smoothly and quickly. They will show up as a team, they will stick to the schedule, and they are able to move items that you may not be able to move by yourself (pianos, murphy beds, gym equipment). In the meantime, you will have time to focus on other things.
Protection of your belongings
You are moving a lot of items at the same time. There is a big chance that some of your things may get damaged. To avoid that, all your furniture and other sensitive items need to be protected appropriately. Experienced movers will know exactly what kind of protection to use on your belongings in order to protect the items from potential damage. In addition to that, they will bring proper material for protection (moving blankets, tapes, pads, bubble wraps, etc.) and equipment for moving more oversized items (ramps, dollies, etc.)
Packing services
When it comes to packing, you will probably not know where to start. It is easier to hire professionals to do your packing. Many companies offer full packing service. That means that movers will protect and pack all your belongings that need to be packed in boxes, taking care to sort out things by room, value, size, or some other requirement. They can also unpack your boxes in your new apartment and remove the empty boxes so you will immediately feel more comfortable in your new home.
Avoid the risk of injury.
The move of heavy items is almost impossible for a person that does not have experience with moving. If you do not know how to move them properly, it can cause serious injuries. Professional movers will know exactly how to handle oversized and specific items. They will know if those items can go through the door or if they can fit into the elevator. They will also know to disassemble and reassemble them so they can be put in the right place.
Loss of items
It often happens that you lose some items or boxes during the move. Professional movers will have a precise list of the things they load into the truck and will guarantee to deliver those items to your new location.
Movers stick to the schedule.
If you ask some of your friends or family to help you with the move, they may cancel the help on the day of the move due to unexpected situations. If you hire a moving company to deal with your move, that will not happen. All moving companies have an exact schedule. They have a lot of available employees, and it will not happen that they do not come on time for your scheduled move.
Free estimates
Most companies offer free estimates for their clients. You can get an estimate by calling a specific moving company or filling in the questionnaires on their websites. You can also schedule a free onsite estimate. If so, a moving consultant will come to your location and give you an exact price for the services you want. All that is free of charge, so it does not bind you to book the move if the offer is not suitable for you. In the new era of technology, some companies even offer online estimates through video calls. It is a good option if you do not want to bother preparing the list of your belongings.
Insurance
The truth is, during the move, some of the items may get lost or damaged. If you move by yourself, you are responsible for all your belongings. Nobody will repay you if you drop a TV, break a mirror or lose a box. If you decide to hire a moving company, all your belongings are certainly insured from damage or loss. Insurance is included in the quote they provide for your move.
Adequate transportation and protection
You can not move more oversized furniture, piano or gym equipment in the trunk of your car. That is one more reason why you should hire a moving company. They will provide a moving truck in which all your belongings can fit.
Storage options
If you decide not to take some of your items to your new home and you do not have a space for them, or maybe your new home is not yet ready, a moving company can offer you storage facilities. You can choose between overnight, short-term, or long-term storage options. Your items will be safe, and you will not be under stress.
So, if you are planning a move, always remember that hiring a professional moving company is always a good choice. Maybe you will pay some extra money, but your belongings will be safe, and you can spare your time for some other things. And it will save your nerves.
