Make Every Move Smooth: Top Reasons to Hire a Moving Company

There are many different benefits of hiring professional movers for your next move, but the biggest reason may be the benefit of a stress-free move. Professional movers, like our team at Flagstaff Moving Company, have loads of experience and know-how to move the right way. We’ll help you pack, relocate, and settle into your new home as efficiently as possible.

If you’re not sure whether or not you want to move yourself or hire professional movers, consider the following advantages of hiring professional movers to help you make your decision:

1. Hiring a professional moving company creates a peace of mind and a stress-free move.

   As we mentioned earlier in this post, a stress-free move is probably the most important reason behind hiring professional movers. A professional moving company takes all the guesswork out of moving by taking over everything from packing and inventory management to relocation.

   
   

2. Hiring a professional moving company is quicker and more efficient than doing it yourself.

   Experienced, professional movers will be able to complete the move much more efficiently and quickly than you can. They know which routes the moving truck needs to take to maximize fuel efficiency and save time, taking into account the latest weather conditions and any road construction or other situations that could cause a delay. Sure, you can rent a moving truck yourself, but if you aren’t used to driving a vehicle like that, you’re likely to drive much slower than a pro. At Flagstaff Moving Co., movers are trained to run and hustle throughout the whole move, except when carrying your belongings.

   
   

3. Professional movers are specially trained to move a variety of different household items.

   Have you ever tried moving large furniture from your home to a new apartment on the third floor? What about a heavy box of dishes in and out of a tall moving truck? If you have the strength and know-how to properly lift without causing an injury, this may not be an issue. However, most people don’t have the strength or training to move large household items quickly or efficiently. This can result in spending hours moving just a single piece of furniture! Professional movers are hired to do the heavy lifting so you don't have to.

   
   

4. Keeping your property and belongings damage-free is easier with professional movers.

   Professional movers have the experience and equipment to move items safely to and from your home or apartment. This includes how to properly pack dishes, wrap dining room chairs, and place protective floor coverings to avoid dents or scratches.

   
   

   By hiring a professional moving company, like Flagstaff Moving Company, you’re ensuring your belongings remain intact and accounted for from point A to point B, so you can spend less time worrying and more time getting excited for your new home!

   
   

5. Hiring professional movers saves you from future back pain or muscle injuries.

   Another reason why you should hire a moving company rather than doing it yourself is safety. If you aren’t accustomed to moving heavy items around, your body may simply not be up to the task of hauling furniture out of your home, packing it carefully into a truck and then taking it out at the destination to unpack and move it into your new home. Hiring professional movers will help you avoid any unnecessary injuries so you can get back to your regular schedule faster.

   
   

6. Professional movers are insured!

   If a moving company is operating legally and is registered with the DMV then they are liable for any items broken, lost, or damaged at a certain rate for every pound the item weighs.

   
   

   Therefore, if any item is damaged or lost by a moving company, it will be covered so you’re not out the cost. At Flagstaff Moving Company we aim to protect your furniture to from any damages, but if they do occur we want to make it right! The damages will either be compensated for by value or by us fixing your items. Costs are also covered by the moving crew, giving them more reason to care for your item like it is theirs.

   
   

7. When comparing the stress of a move and all the logistics, the cost of hiring professional movers is — more often than not! — worth the added cost.

   A big reason people opt out of hiring a professional moving company is the cost. There’s no doubt you can save money by doing it yourself, but at what expense? If the negatives like injury, damage, time, and stress outweigh the overall cost of hiring professional movers, it might be worthwhile hiring a moving company to take the load off by moving for you.

At Flagstaff Moving Co., we provide efficient and safe moving services that are mote cost-efficient compared to other moving companies.

8. Packing and inventory management is made easy with a professional moving company.

   You have no idea how much stuff you have until you try to pack it all up! Taking inventory of everything in your home and deciding how to pack can be a daunting task that the most organized of individuals don’t even want to take on. Rather than spending hours packing up your belongings, a professional moving company, like Flagstaff Moving Company, usually offers optional packing services to help lighten the load.

   
   

9. A professional moving company has all the necessary equipment for a move.

   Moving is made easier and safer with the right equipment. That includes straps, moving dollies, wall and floor coverings, protective wrap for furniture, and more! Renting all of this equipment can be costly and sometimes if you leave renting this equipment to the last minute before your move, you may be stuck without it. A professional moving company will have all of the necessary equipment to protect you from injury and your belongings or property from any damage.
