No matter whether you are planning on moving a few streets over, a few cities away, or to a different country, moving can be tough! Although there are plenty of things you can do with friends and family, having a moving companyon hand can make the whole process smoother and more efficient - leaving you to get on with everything else that needs to be done.
Backache
The heavy lifting of moving boxes can be a nightmare for your back! Most people don't lift heavy items correctly and put themselves at risk every time they lift. It's not just your back that might start aching, though, you might find your shoulders, arms, and more are tender if not pulled.
Professional movers will keep you free from the injuries that can be associated with heavy lifting, and that is even more important for the elderly, pregnant, or those with medical conditions.
Time
The planning stages of moving house happen many months in advance of the big day itself. And while it can be exciting, it can also be exhausting too. One of the best things about a professional moving company is the time you need to pack up the house is significantly reduced.
They will be able to arrive with all of the right equipment and methodically pack everything up while you have a well-deserved cup of coffee - or perhaps make your way to your new home!
Heavy items
You might decide that you want to do most of the packing yourself but have several larger items that are difficult to pack and move. A moving company can be called in to take care of any items that are too bulky or require special equipment to lift and move.
Money
While there is a cost attached to hiring movers, they are actually cheaper in the long run for most people. Moving, in general, is an expensive thing to do, and one of the things that professional moving companies do is offer the highest value of service for the price.
If you total up the hours you spend doing something by yourself, the favors called in, the multiple cars and gas used, van hire, equipment hire, and more, a moving company saves both time and money.
Ease
It is the job of professional movers to think of all of the things that you wouldn't. Things like ramps, pulley and rope systems, rollers, tape, boxes, protective coatings, and textiles as well as knowing the most efficient way to load the van or vans.
What's more is that when they get to the other side and have unloaded everything into the right place, they will take away the rubbish with them too. Movers want to make everything as easy as possible for you.
Protection
It is not uncommon that when people move, things get damaged or lost - and this is much more common when they handle the move themselves. Moving companies have insuranceto protect your goods against loss or damage, so if anything does happen, your goods are covered.
And it's not just your goods that will benefit from that protection and care. For homes with hardwood, or delicate flooring, professional movers will know how to protect that too. So your old home will be left pristine, and your new home won't have a scratch on it - even if there is a team of movers packing up and unpacking.
Packing
Even if you have had a few very successful packing moments in your life, a professional mover will know how to make the absolute most of the available room in the boxes. Not only are you likely to waste a lot of time trying to pack in the best way possible, but you are going to accidentally waste a lot of potential space too.
Not only that, but even if you have some friends and family on hand to help, it will take a much longer time to have everything packed up. Professional movers are efficient when it comes to packing and can have it done in very little time.
Organization
Not everyone is as organized as the ladies from The Home Edit or Marie Kondo- and when it comes to packing and moving, it is never more obvious that organization is not your strongest trait.
A moving company is built on strong organizational skills, so while you might be worrying about where to put things from the kitchen junk drawer, they'd have the whole room packed and ready to be loaded onto the van.
Not to mention that you might spend more time going from room to room to pack rather than sticking in one room because it makes sense to you to do that.
The moving process is more organized and comfortable when a professional comes in and handles it.
Peace of mind
Even moving locally can take up a lot of brain space and cause a lot of worries, and everyone who has moved can agree that even when things go as smoothly as possible, moving isn't stress-free.
And while not all stressors can be removed, even if just moving locally, hiring a moving company can help to minimize the worries you have. Because they work on a tight schedule and are highly organized, they don't leave much room for error.
They will handle the right size of a van, the correct amount of packing materials, extra packing materials for anything heavy or bulky, ramps, parking, and the right team for your needs.
Not only that, but they can even provide you with a schedule for the day and let you know what time you can expect to be finished.
Hiring a moving company for when you move house is just smart! And, if you have decided to up sticks and move across the world rather than just a few cities over, it can be exciting and one of the best things you'll ever do, but you'll need these tips: 6 Tips For Settling Into A New Country.
