Moving to a new home is exciting. It’s also a lot of work. One of the first items to tackle when planning a move is choosing how you want to move and whether you want to hire professional movers.

Working with Movers: Questions to Help You Choose Moving Services

  • What kind of help do I need for my move? There are many levels of moving services. You can undertake a move all on your own, or you can hire movers to do it all, from packing to unpacking and everything in between. Or you can select some professional moving services and undertake other parts of the move on your own. Consider what is most important for you in your move.
  • How much time will your move take? Whether you are moving long-distance or just down the street, moving is a big undertaking. If you are moving close by, you may be able to move piece by piece over a few days. If you are moving a longer distance, you may need to accomplish your move in one trip. If you need to move in a short period of time, consider the help you will need from movers as you choose the moving services you prefer.
  • What can I do on my own? Moving involves a lot of work from gathering materials to packing, loading, and unloading. You may be able to undertake some moving tasks on your own, while others may be out of your area of ability. Consider what you want to do yourself and what you prefer to have professional movers do for you.

As you consider moving services, consider the level of assistance you need and the timeline of your move. This will help you determine the best moving services for your needs.
