Tips on How to Choose a Moving Service You Can Trust

About 40 million Americans—roughly about 14 percent of the U.S. population—move at least once in their lives, USA Today notes. If you plan on doing the same, make it easier on you and your household: hire an experienced moving crew. Here are a few tips to help you pick out reliable residential movers.

Hire local

Be on the lookout for local residential movers that come highly recommended.“According to Real Simple, one effective way of finding local resident movers is to ask for recommendations from friends, family, and neighbors.

Tips On How To Choose A Moving Service You Can Trust

Screen them

Put together a list of Dallas residential movers that fit the bill. Ask each firm,

  1. Do they offer the moving services you need?
  2. How long has the firm been in business?
  3. What about its staff?
  4. What kind of credentials and qualifications do they have that make them right for the job?

Find out all the above questions to the residential mover company or service provider before you hire them.

Check on their reputation

When you hire residential moving services, choose a moving crew that has earned an excellent reputation in the industry and business for delivering top-notch services. A trustworthy reputation can do a lot to soothe away your worries and fears. If they’ve been around for years and the firm—along with the members of the crew—are a solid part of the community, then you know you’ve picked the right residential relocation services.

Know the signs

Moving is a huge step. The last thing you want is to find yourself dealing with a dodgy moving service, so be aware of the signs that you’ve got a bad bet on your hands. If the mover keeps asking for a huge deposit, insists that you only pay in cash, and doesn’t seem interested in putting an inventory of the items you want them to transport for the move, then something’s fishy. If you know the signs, you can walk away before there’s any harm done.

Check out their other services

What are the services offered by the firm? When you choose long distance residential movers, take advantage of their help. Do the firm offer packing and unpacking services? These can save you a ton of time and frustration. It can also help you settle into your new home faster when you have someone to unpack your boxes and furniture. If you’re bringing along too much furniture,  using a storage facility for a few months or so could be ideal for you, at least until you finally figure out what you want to do with your belongings.

Review the estimate

When you request a written estimate, don’t hesitate to ask the firm about the services it offers. That way, you’re very clear about what you’re paying for. If you need a bit of help, ask if you're going to get billed for extra charges and if so, how much. Knowing these things in advance can help you set a realistic budget for when you hire DFW apartment movers. Contact DFW Fireman’s Movers for more information!

  • Mike Z

    I wanted to reach out and thank you and your crew for the help and work they did in my move. Your guys were professional and very positive throughout the whole move. They really put me at ease and what I thought would be very frustrating day was a good experience. They were very careful and treated my stuff with great care. When they arrived I felt we were maybe not as packed and organized as we should have been but they helped get it together and packed on the truck. I was so glad it went so smooth. Please thank the crew and please use us as a reference as we are a happy customer. My daughter had used you and we were glad she gave us your number.
