Advises When Picking Moving Companies Bay Area Dwellers Should Know

By Olivia Cross


No matter how far or close you intend to move, it is always advisable that you engage the services of a professional mover rather than try to do it on your own. The problem however lies in choosing a good moving company from the hundreds that are registered in Bay Area. So many of such companies make the same claim that you would be left wondering what the difference between them is or if there is any difference between them at all. If you are not careful, you will end up with a con in the name of a mover. Prior to contracting any moving companies Bay Area people will need to consider the following factors for the best choices.

If it is your first time to look for a mover, it would be advisable that you start by reading mover reviews from the internet. Reading online reviews will help you determine what other people in the neighborhood thought of a movers services. If there are too many dissatisfied clients; it may be wise to continue with your search for a mover elsewhere.

Once you come up with a list of movers, the next step is to thin it using other criteria like experience. It is very important that you choose a mover with good safety record. Obviously, moving has its fair share of challenges. Because of this, you should always look for companies with experience when it comes to handling such challenges. An ideal mover would be one with over ten years of active practice in the moving industry.

Legitimacy of the company also matters. When it comes to choosing one mover from a variety of them, it is very important to ensure that they are appropriately accredited to operate in your region. This will especially be important should the need to seek legal justice arise. The law will find it very difficult to secure and support your rights should you employ unlicensed mover.

Unless you are very rich, you will also want to compare quotes from a number of firms. Of course you would expect that a reputable mover would charge more than one that is not all that reputable. This does not however mean that you will get the best services by contracting the most expensive mover. At the same time, you should also be wary of movers whose rates are suspiciously low.

If you have not identified a new office or residence in your new destination, then you will also need some storage facility. It would be cost effective if you can find a mover who provides storage as one of his services rather than source for it from elsewhere. Storage will also be important if you have moved to a smaller house than the one you were occupying before.

One step that people usually ignore is the signing of contract. If you do not want dramas after the move, it would be important to insist on written contract with your mover. You must not deal with a mover who is against signing contract.

If you want stress free move, you need to be very careful when choosing the mover. You must not make the decision in haste as you might regret it later on. Choose a mover who is trustworthy and you will be able to save some money.
