Finding A Moving Company

Moving is a stressful occurrence, but choosing the right moving company can help ease the worry. A moving company will make the process easier on you and your family. Finding a moving company that you trust is essential.

Follow the below tips when choosing a moving company to make sure you find the one that fits your needs:

• Look around a few different places for moving companies. Ask friends, ask storage facilities, google the area, and check Angie’s List.
• Make sure the in-home estimates cover everything-check the contract to be sure everything you need is covered/included.
• Make sure estimates mention appropriate licenses (i.e. carrier license, if applicable)
• Did the mover make you aware of the moving insurance for your goods?

Packing your belongings is always part of the process when moving. The last thing you want to happen when you arrive at your new location is to have broken or damaged belongings.  Below are moving tips to make sure your belongings arrive safely at their new home and to make the process easier:

• Label boxes with a sharpie or sticker labels. When you begin unpacking in your new home, you will find your belongings much easier!
• Make a moving list. Although you may think you can keep track of everything, a list will help make sure nothing is forgotten and everything ends up where it belongs.
