Most people have moved at least once in their life, even if it was out of their parent’s home and into their first apartment. With these types of moves where there are minimal moving requirements, a do-it-yourself move using your car or truck is often a good option, particularly for local moves.
However, once you have furniture, electronics, breakable items and things are of monetary and sentimental value, it is important to hire a local moving company rather than doing it on your own. For residents of Lake Norman, as well as the surrounding area, there are at least 4 reasons for this decision.
Rental Costs
Hiring a reputable local moving company means that you are quoted a price and, provided there are no additional services requested, you know just what you will pay. Local moves are typically very reasonable and are not much more than the cost of a rental vehicle.
In addition, there are no hidden fees, no need to deal with returning a vehicle and no hassle if the move takes longer than anticipated.
Knowing How to Move Large Items
When hiring a Lake Norman local moving company with experience and a top reputation, you are also hiring professionals who know how to move your items safely. This won’t be the case if when moving on your own or relying on friends for assistance.
Padding and Packing
While Lake Norman local moves aren’t long distances, it is still important to ensure items in the truck are packed correctly, the load is secured in the truck, and all large items are padded and strapped in place. Professional moving services will ensure this is completed.
Insurance During the Move
While the chances of damage are low with a moving service, there will be insurance coverage offered. This can provide partial to full coverage of the items on the truck depending on the policy you select.
Having this extra peace of mind in both the insurance coverage and the professional service is certainly worth it for anyone planning a move.
