Why Hire Professional Movers

You and two low-cost guys with their painted truck agree your move will take four hours, with you packing boxes beforehand. On moving day, they are late, bringing little to no protection for your larger belongings or for your flooring. After thirty minutes assessing how to disassemble your furniture, they need you to dig up your Allen wrenches and other tools to supplement their meager supply they brought. When it starts raining, they throw a couple of your extra moving boxes on top of your hardwood furniture for minimal protection. Meanwhile, they are chipping away at your security deposit with scuffs and dents left on walls, railings and hardwood floors and leaving your carpet a dirtied mess. Rather than the estimated four hours, the move is finally finished eight or nine hours later, due to their lack of expertise and equipment and because well, there are only two of them.

Glossary of Terms to Know When Hiring a Mover

Moving is stressful enough without having to learn an entirely new language during the process. To make it easier for you, we’ve compiled a glossary of common terms you will encounter when hiring a professional mover.
