You’ve completed what felt like an impossible feat and found a new place to live, whether it’s near or far. Once the dust settles and the paperwork is signed, you realizing moving there is another lengthy process.
Hiring a licensed New Hampshire moving company is a great solution when it comes to making a move a stress-free and seamless experience. As soon as you know your move’s date, it’s best to start contacting companies for more information since working with a moving company has many different benefits.
When you’re thinking about deciding whether to hire a moving company or take on a more DIY approach, it’s best to keep some of these benefits in mind.
A moving company comes to you with countless years of experience in moving families either locally or cross-country. They specialize in making the transition to your new home a seamless one, with as little bumps and hiccups along the way as possible. A reputable company will have a plan in place for you to use as you start the packing process.
Taking on the more DIY approach as someone who is not experienced in the art of packing and moving belongings, you might feel more inclined to over purchase. Though it’s a good idea to have certain items on hand, such as bubble wrap or blankets, you’ll never know how much you’ll need to start. Movers have the experience necessary to bring along the exact number of items they’ll need, which will get included in the overall price. You won’t need to spend extra money on the small things that add up to large amounts over time.
Movers have the right equipment as well as safety in numbers when it comes to transporting your belongings. Since the amount of movers working to relocate you is determined by the size of your move, there will always be enough people to do the heavy lifting safely, so you don’t have to worry about pulling your back out.
Most of the time, a DIY approach requires a couple of trips back and forth between your old place and your new place. Of course, sometimes, if the distance is too long, that is not a luxury you will have. Hiring New Hampshire movers will mean that no matter the distance of your move, it will always take only one trip.
Hiring a moving company means that your belongings are protected through the insurance the company offers. Most quotes will include a certain amount of insurance provided by the moving company in case somewhere were to happen to your belongings during transit. Since the moving company will have its insurance, you don’t have to worry about replacing any damaged or lost items on your dime or insurance.
Finding a reliable and licensed moving company to work with is half the battle of actually moving to a new home. It takes more diligence than just finding a couple of quotes, especially if you are undergoing a long-distance move, and entrust your items to them for a longer time.
One of the most important questions to ask the movers you’ll be working with is proof of their licensing and insurance. You can never be too careful when signing a contract, which will cost you hundreds of dollars. However, a reputable moving company will obtain the appropriate licensing and insurance from governing bodies.
Any long-distance moving company will need to obtain what is called a DOT number from the Department of Transportation. These DOT numbers are easily verified through the Department of Transportation website by entering the number the company provides you on their paperwork.
Operating authorities within your state can also provide you with licensing and insurance information on a company you’re planning to hire. Most of these have websites set up for verification purposes, or you can call them on the phone.
