What to Look for when Choosing Your Movers

Finding a reliable moving company can be a headache. There are many out there, and choosing one that is reputable, efficient, and budget-friendly is no easy task. 

Eliminate the moving headache with these helpful tips for finding the best movers for you! 

Reviews and Referrals 

Comparing reviews online is a good place to start. Viewing their star ratings, you can begin to sift through local moving companies. After that, read some customer reviews and testimonials to narrow down the list even further. This will leave you with a handful of companies to choose from so you can start getting quotes.

Asking friends, family, and coworkers for referrals can be another great way to find a trusted, reputable company. 

Quotes and Rates 

After selecting several possible moving companies based on their reviews, it is then time to get estimates. This means they will need to come to your home and look at everything from the number of items to be packed, the amount of furniture you have, the layout of your home, and any other information relevant to the move. Other considerations may include climate control for antique items or special handling for artwork.

Another thing to consider is saving costs by packing some items yourself. For instance, if there are heirlooms and antiques, you may want to handle those personally, and let the movers pack common household items. 

 Distance will be a factor, too - moving across the country will be much more costly than moving to the next town. Once you have a written estimate, you can then compare rates. Although you want to choose one that fits your budget, don't sacrifice quality over cost. 

Professional and Insured

Always make sure the moving company you use is insured and professional. The last thing you want to have are unprofessional movers damaging your possessions and leaving you with the bill for their replacement. 

Checking their Better Business Bureau ratings and reviews is a must before hiring them for the job. 

Dates and Availability

Last, but not least, plan your move well ahead of time. Moving companies book up quickly, and you don't want to wait until the last minute to book one. Make sure you set dates in advance with the company to allow enough time to pack, move, and arrive at your new home in a timely manner.
