No one likes moving. It’s labor-intensive, exhausting and overwhelming. Yet, time and again we find ourselves scouring for boxes and breaking our backs hauling antique armoires up and down the stairs. For what? To avoid the cost of hiring movers? When it comes down to it, you’ll end up wasting far more of your valuable time and energy trying to move yourself when a full-service moving company like Armstrong – Huntsville could’ve handled your move in a fraction of the time.
A lot of folks think that you’re only paying for a few strong arms and the costs of a truck, but we’re here to help explain eight benefits of hiring a full-service moving company.
1. Supplies
No more extra trips to the hardware store because you underestimated how many boxes you’ll need. No more running out of packing tape at the worst possible time. A full-service moving company, like Armstrong – Huntsville, will provide all of the right packing supplies — and the right amount of supplies —needed to safely and efficiently pack your belongings.
2. Packing
Let’s face it. Packing is terrible. Not only will the professionals bring the boxes, tape and bubble wrap, but they’ll pack for you! Prefer to pack certain items yourself? No worries! With a full-service mover, it’s never all or nothing. You can still have them contribute partial packing services, while you pack your other belongings. This will save you valuable time and allow you to focus on other details, like work or the kids.
3. Safety
If you’ve ever moved yourself before, you know the toll it takes on the muscles you didn’t know you had. Lifting awkward furniture and countless heavy boxes can make it feel like you’ve been run over by a train. Leave the heavy lifting to the pros and avoid costly medical bills by hiring a full-service moving company.
4. Damage Prevention
You’ve likely only moved a handful of times, while a full-service mover, like Armstrong – Huntsville, performs moves every day. We know how to pack fragile items, how to navigate furniture through tight spaces and how to prevent damage to your belongings and your home. They’ll also disassemble and reassemble large pieces that require deconstruction for the move. You’ll appreciate the thoughtful and professional precautions taken by the experts.
5. Unpacking
You know what’s worse than packing? Unpacking! After all of the stresses of moving, the last thing you want to do is unpack boxes. Let’s be honest, that’s why when it’s left up to us, boxes can go unpacked for months. With a full-service mover, your boxes will be unpacked for you while you sip a lemonade and point out where everything goes.
6. Cleaning Up
Moving is messy. It’s dirty. It’s dusty. It also creates a lot of debris. Instead of taking an extra recycling trip or trying to find someone else who wants to adopt all of your newly acquired bubble wrap, you can just let the movers clean up and clear out…after a few bubble wrap pops, of course.
7. Appliances
You’re not a professional mover and you’re probably not an expert on appliances either. Full-service moving companies like Armstrong – Huntsville will disconnect, move and reconnect your appliances to make sure that everything is working like it should. The last thing you want is to get settled into your new home only to discover that you accidentally broke the washing machine or lost a hose.
8. Coordination
A move coordinator is the angel you never knew you needed. It’s easy to forget a few details when you’re trying to remember what all needs to be done for you big move, while also making sure the lights get turned on at your new residence. A move coordinator will handle all of your move logistics so you can feel at-home in your new space from day one.
Moving can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. If you hire a full-service moving company, like Armstrong – Huntsville, the value you retain from avoiding damage to your home, your property and yourself is worth the cost alone. You’ll also benefit by allowing someone else deal with all of the physical and mental stressors that can take the joy out of such an exciting time in your life.
