Why It Is Better To Hire A Moving Company In Roanoke VA

By Donald Russell


Relocation can often be nerve wrecking, exciting and sad, all rolled into one. The sad part is saying goodbye to a known lifestyle and long time friends. The exciting part is looking forward to a new beginning in a new home in a new area. The nerve wrecking part is getting it all done and worrying about fitting in at the new place. By hiring a professional moving company in Roanoke VA most of the nerve wrecking element can be eliminated.

There is no money to be saved by deciding to handle the actual move of the household personally. Most do it yourself families find that they have to use packaging materials and containers that are not suitable to the job at hand. Breakages and damage to the furniture are likely. The best course of action is to hire the services of experienced movers that use the correct materials and that know what they are doing.

Those insisting on relocating their own household often do not realize just how much physical labour it requires. Moving, loading and unloading furniture can be backbreaking work and the potential for damage is great. This does not even take into the account the stress of manoeuvring a hired truck or trailer over long distances. Packing is a skill and even if done properly it is still time consuming.

Much can be done to ensure a trouble free relocation. One important way is to make a detailed list of every task that must be completed and every arrangement that must be made prior to, during and after completion of the move. Each task on the list should be dedicated to a specific person and the date by which the task must be completed should be made clear. No item on the list should be left until the last possible minute.

It is important to be present when the actual packing of the household items takes place. Records should be kept of the content of each container. A copy of that list should be taped to the container and a separate copy should be kept. Container should be clearly marked and it can help a lot if the destination room in the new house is also made clear. This will speed up the offloading process.

Everybody wants to move into a clean house where everything works. It is therefore important to make sure that planned renovations and repairs are completed prior to the move. While the house is empty it may be a good idea to hire a commercial cleaning contractor to clean it from top to bottom. This is very difficult to achieve once a house is occupied.

It is not wise to hire a relocation company if they are unable to provide valid references and a detailed written quotation. They should employ experienced staff and their vehicles must be in a good condition. It is always a good sign if the contractor is a member of good standing at an appropriate industry control body. Care should also be taken that the household goods are fully insured while it is in transit.

Relocating is certainly stressful but proper planning and professional help can go a long way in reducing this stress. When the time comes for the actual move it is better if the family arrives before the relocation contractor with the household goods. In this way the unpacking can be personally supervised and any damage or breakages immediately identified.
