Everyone dreads moving from one residence to another. Do not make it harder on yourself than it has to be. You can hire movers to do all the work for you. I have moved a lot. In the beginning, I would gather my friends and family to help me. Being young and single I did not have too much. I had a roommate and when we moved, we hired movers. I have used movers ever since. As you get older and start buying furniture moving really takes its toll on you and your friends. Hiring movers is a very wise decision, but you definitely want to do your research.
Do not call the first moving company you come across and reserve them for your move. Make sure to put some effort into locating the right movers for you. Easily, this can become a nightmare move if you do not do some research. Go to the phone book or look up on your computer to find some movers in your area. Be sure you check to see if your home insurance covers the move also.
With your list of Denver moving company names and numbers together, take a moment to write down some questions. Be prepared when calling them. This may sound like a waste of time, but it is not. If you call a company and just ask questions off the top of your head you will forget something. That something could be very important like, “Do you move spas?”
When you call ask about their availability for the date of your move. Make sure you are both on the same page about time that you would need them to start. The most important question of all is, “How much do you charge?” Keep in mind that their charge is probably an hourly charge and it should include Denver movers. Make sure you have a clear understanding about that and if they have any minimum requirements.
Within that charge you were quoted find out everything that is included in that charge. They may provide extras for you, but more than likely they do not. Most include a dolly, but will probably charge if any extra packing material is used during the move. Find out what you will be responsible for before they begin working that day.
The day of your move make sure that whatever needs to be ready before they get there has been taken care of. The last thing you want is for them to show up and you are running around like a chicken with its head cut off. When they do arrive that is usually the time that they start charging so keep that in mind. They are providing a service to you and you want to make sure that they do that service for you. Watch for anyone trying to take breaks or make calls during time that you are being charged for. You do not pay them for that.
Once they have completed their end of the job make sure to check all your items for any issues. Question them immediately if anything seems wrong. Make sure nothing was missed or is left in their truck. When they ask you for payment you want to triple check the receipt to ensure that it is accurate. If you did not see them use any packing materials, but see that they are charging for it then ask them about that. Get a copy of the receipt, as well.
Then once they are gone you can start working on unloading boxes or cleaning. Breathe a sigh of relief because you do not feel drained from spending the entire day dealing with the move yourself. There was no arguing and no complaining.
