How to Choose a Good Household Moving Company
When choosing a household moving company, it is important to understand your specific moving needs, and do research to compare different moving companies in order to pick one that’s right for you. To find the best moving company for you:
- Research moving companies in your area.
- Ask for recommendations from family, friends or coworkers who have recently moved.
- Check online for reviews from previous customers to get a better idea of a moving company’s reputation and reliability.
- Verify your moving company’s credentials: All moving companies should be licensed and insured in order to meet necessary legal requirements and to ensure that anything damaged during the move is adequately protected.
- Look for a company with experience and expertise in the industry.
Depending on the type of move you require, such as local, long distance, commercial or full service, consider companies that have successfully completed moves similar to the one you need. The more experience a moving company has, the more likely the company is to have an efficient moving process put into place, as well as highly trained personnel.
How to Protect Your Belongings for a Household Goods Move
When moving, it is important to take necessary precautions to protect your belongings. This includes furniture such as sofas, bookcases, tables, chairs, etc. Here are a few steps you can take to protect these items during a move:
- Clean and prepare: To help prevent stains and damage during a move
- Secure and empty drawers and doors: To prevent them from opening during transit
- Notify the moving company if you need assistance disassembling or reassembling furniture.
It is important to handle your items with care. During the moving process be sure to use proper techniques and avoid dragging large furniture items across the floor.
