What should you look for when hiring a moving company?

There is so much to think about when planning and preparing for a move that it can be overwhelming.  You’ll be figuring out the logistics of your move, gathering moving and packing materials, and much more.  So, if you’ve decided against a DIY move and plan on hiring a moving company for your upcoming move, there are certain qualities to look for as follows:

• Get recommendations from family members, friends, and other people you trust.
• Take the time to read online reviews, even the negative ones (companies like the Handy Haulers Moving Company use negative reviews to help them improve the service provided by their Tualatin local and long-distance movers team).
• Look for a company that has been in business several years and has a successful track record.
• Make sure that they are bonded, insured, and licensed for the type of move you’re hiring them for.  For instance, interstate movers must be registered with the Department of Transportation and be insured.
• Think about your specific relocation needs so you ask the right questions and find a moving company that can accommodate those needs.
• Most importantly, watch out for moving scams and rogue movers.  Unfortunately, the moving industry is not immune to these kinds of activities.

You’re going to find out that the moving industry is highly competitive.  No matter where you currently live in the greater Portland area, you’re going to be confronted by plenty of choices where moving companies are concerned. We know that it is difficult to take a decision when everyone claims to be the best moving service. However, if you just do plenty of research and make thorough comparisons before making your decision. Make sure you work with a licensed and insured moving company, like ours.
