Should You Hire Professional Movers?
Should You Hire Professional Movers?
Once
you make an offer on your new home and it is accepted, you'll need to
start planning your move. Often you'll need to decide whether to move
yourself or hire professional movers.
.
If
you want to save money, the do-it-yourself option may be right for you.
But first ask yourself some important questions. Do you have friends
who are willing and able to help you move? Do you have access to a
vehicle that can accommodate furniture and fragile items? Do you have
the time?
.
Remember
that your friends should be strong enough to help with heavy loads like
couches and beds, and also conscientious enough to take care with
precious heirlooms and breakables. To avoid "burning out" your helpers
with multiple trips, rent a truck large enough to handle everything in
one move.
.
If
you are moving a long distance, you can avoid the cost of professional
movers while still hiring load and unload help as an in-between option.
There are companies that rent you the muscle to take your belongings
from your old house to the truck and then again into your new house. All
you have to do is pack, drive the truck and unpack after the boxes have
been unloaded in your new home.
Remember
that moving is always a stressful time. If you do it yourself, arrange
for help at both ends of the move and be sure the truck you have is
large enough for all your belongings. If this can't be accomplished you
may want to spend the extra money on professional movers.
