Most people make their first move on their own. This may be the move from college into an apartment or their move from the family home on their own. However, the longer people in Raleigh, NC, have their own place, the more possessions they tend to accumulate.
This is even more complicated if you move into a house or a condo where there are more rooms and a lot more storage space. With this type of option, a do-it-yourself move as compared to hiring local movers is both inefficient as well as more costly once all the factors have been considered.
Simple Pricing
By working with reputable, professional local movers, it is easy to obtain a full quote for the service. This includes anything over and above the basic moving services.
With a do-it-yourself move, there is the truck rental, padding, and wrapping material rental or purchase, fuel costs and even insurance costs for the truck. There are also potentially multiple trips and the risk of hefty penalties if the truck is late in being returned.
No Need to Hire People for Assistance
Large items such as sofas, dining room sets, armoires, desks, appliances and other big items of furniture are difficult to move. It may be necessary to hire help, and the people hired may not have experience with moving.
Help with packing and unpacking may also be required, which is another cost that will need to be considered. By using local moving companies, this can be budgeted in.
Care with Moving Items
When you use local movers, you know your items are padded, wrapped and protected throughout the move. This includes moving things from the house to the truck, securing them on the truck, then carefully unloading them at the destination.
Providing this type of care involves having trained staff, the right equipment, and the best wrapping and padding to provide optimal levels of protection for your possessions.
