What to Expect When Hiring Home Moving Companies

home moving companiesIf you are currently shopping for home moving companies, then you’ll probably also want to know how to deal with them. While it’s true that all home moving companies may offer different services and amenities, in general every mover will proceed with your project in a way that follows an industry standard.

Once you’ve made contact with a moving company, a representative from the movers will come visit your home and assess the number and size of the items you wish to have moved. This individual will also assess how large the moving team and vehicle will need to be to accommodate your items.

Once a moving date has been set, you will want to begin the process of organizing the items to be moved, and may also start packing these items into boxes, unless the moving company is going to handle the packing and loading duties. At this point, you need to also determine what you will do with items that home moving companies can’t move, such as chemicals, personal items (such as medical records, collectibles, and bank documents), and perishables such as plants and food. If you have children or pets, you’ll want to arrange a sitter service for moving day so little feet don’t get in the way of the movers.

You’ll want to make sure you or a responsible person whom you trust will be at your house on moving day to help coordinate any last-minute issues with the movers, answer any questions the moving teams may have, and be on hand to help keep track of the inventory. The moving process may last several hours, especially if your home is of larger size. Unless the distance between your old home and new place is hundreds of miles or more, the movers should arrive at the destination within a day, if not the same day as when the moving team removed your belongings from your prior residence.
