Common Questions & Moving Tips
Never hired a moving company before? Need help with your first move? Check out the questions below to learn more about how we move you forward.
What do I need to know if I’ve never hired a moving company before?
If you’ve never hired a moving company before, here are some important things to keep in mind:
- Start early: Start the process at least a month in advance to secure availability for your preferred moving date, especially during peak seasons.
- Know what’s being moved: Decide ahead of time what the movers will handle and what you plan to move yourself. This helps your estimator provide the most accurate quote possible.
- Be realistic about packing: Will you truly be able to pack everything on your own? If not, ask us about our professional packing services and request a packing quote in advance.
- Plan for restricted items: Our movers are not able to transport certain items, like hazardous materials. Make sure you make a plan for those items.
- Review coverage options: Make sure you understand your coverage options and check your homeowners insurance to see what might already be covered.
- Don’t base your decision on price alone: In the moving industry, you often get what you pay for. Choosing a reputable and licensed company can save you stress, damage, and unexpected costs in the long run.
