Moving your household is a big ordeal. Even with the best organizational practices, making a DIY move can pose some challenges. If you’ve got an upcoming move, you can eliminate the stress and difficulties by hiring a moving company to help out. Here are several benefits you can enjoy by letting a professional mover do the heavy lifting.
1. Save Time
Movers have the equipment and the easy ability to transport all your belongings in one trip— no worries about you making dozens of trips back and forth with your vehicle. A mover can do this for you in no time at all! This gives you more time to focus on other important details such as arranging utilities, finalizing rental agreements or house sales, registering kids for school, or handling job transitions.
2. Enjoy a Stress-Free Move
Professional movers are skilled at what they do – they know all the ins and outs of relocation, whether on the other side of town or across state lines. But, of course, you can manage moving details yourself. Still, aside from making multiple trips, finding people to help, or loading boxes and furniture onto a rental truck, there is packing and unpacking to consider.
Whether you opt for a full-service move to do it all or just to transport your possessions, your mover can do any or all of it efficiently. As a result, you enjoy less stress and have more time to settle into your home more quickly.
3. Avoid Personal Injury
Moving a household involves a high risk of personal injury. Consider the following risks:
- Moving on a day with rainy, icy, or snowy weather
- Needing to carry heavy items up or down stairs at either end of the move
- Experiencing a slip and fall accident (lots of hazards on moving day)
- Improper lifting leads to injury of the back, neck, leg, or arm
Your mover will know exactly how to move your items safely without causing personal injury, ensuring a safer move for all.
4. Potentially Save Money
Many people assume hiring a professional to move their belongings is more expensive. However, you might be surprised to find little difference when you add up other potential costs associated with a DIY move. Consider these expenses that factor into a DIY relocation.
- Taking several PTO days to pack, load, unload, and unpack
- Renting a large truck for one or more days
- Buying or renting moving tools and packing supplies
- Paying for gas
- Any unexpected expenses
When you work with a pro, you’ll have a reasonable estimate of what to expect upfront and can even sign a binding agreement to ensure you’ll pay what you expect. This way, you can plan accordingly.
