Making changes is a very tiring and laborious task that requires dedication, commitment, patience and organization. There are those who even like to participate in the process, because of the expectation, and there are those who hate it. For this second group, a solution might be to hire a moving service and ask for a fair moving home quote.
What is a moving service?
These companies are specialized and are in charge of carrying out all the steps of moving from one residence to another – packaging all personal items with different colors and identification tags, moving objects from one property to another, place and organize belongings in the new property, hire fumigation, telephone and internet services for the new property, and others.
How it works?
First, you will have to research among the most diverse moving companies in the market and see which one gives you the most confidence. The company will ask you for some property data to give you an average minimum budget. The distance between one property and another and the amount of individual services you will hire will be taken into account.
If you think that this initial budget is within your parameters, you can request that the company come to carry out a more detailed inspection of your property. This way, you will have a more accurate budget and will be able to decide whether to close the deal or not.
Afterwards, the disassembly of the furniture and packing of all the items in your house must be scheduled. They will be reassembled once they are at the new address. It is important to check with the company what type of packaging is used. Give preference to those that use bubble wrap. Ask if the company offers assemble of articles.
Do research well, because some companies also keep their furniture for as long as you need. Some offer lifting services. Some other companies organize everything for you in the new house, from kitchen items to personal items.
What should you look out for when hiring?
All your requests and arrangements with the moving service company must be provided for in the contract, besides other minor but very important details. Therefore, you should ask and explain some points.
How does compensation work in case of breakdown of any furniture or appliance? What are the deadlines for removing and placing furniture in the new property? Which carriers will be hired by the moving service company? Etc.
Is it worth it to hire a moving service?
It depends. As it is an expensive service, it may only be worth it if you are moving to more distant places, which are hours away from your current home. It is because you will already have many other concerns. Even thinking about changing everything can be tricky. Now, if your move is to the same city or to a neighboring city, it is better to budget a small truck to carry items such as a refrigerator, rack and larger furniture and compare prices. You can also call some friends or family to help you transport valuables and smaller items such as clothes, decorations and even microwave and household appliances.
