Is Bringing In Family And Friends A Good Way To Save On A Move?

Family and friends can be helpful when you need extra hands. If you know someone who wants to help, you can put them to work with moving boxes to one area of the home. They can also make easier paths for the movers by clearing sidewalks or driveways. However, on the actual moving day, there are good reasons to let the professionals handle the work.

How Do You Create A Quote For A Move?

Estimates are based on a number of factors that can make a move more or less difficult for us. Some of these factors include: the length (in miles) for each leg of the move, the amount of time it will take our team to load and unload a truck based on the weight of your items.

Is It Considered Customary To Tip Movers?

Like many other teams in the service industry, movers are often tipped. However, tips are not required, and our teams expect no set amount. If you like, you can choose to tip your movers an amount that matches how satisfied you are with their effort and attitude. The general guideline followed by many is $4-6 per man, per hour.

Do I Need Property Insurance If I’ve Hired Professionals?

It can be wise to insure your property during moves, even if you’ve hired a professional team. First, damage can occur well before and after the movers have handled the property. Items can also be lost before they are moved into the trucks or before you’ve finished unpacking. You should consult your homeowner’s policy to find out how your items are covered during transit.
