Relocating to a new neighborhood isn’t easy. While preparation and organization will help a lot, plenty of things can still go wrong. One way to reduce the stress and hassle on moving day is to hire competent local movers in Tampa. Here’s what you need to do before you pick a moving team.
Put together an inventory
List all the items for the move. A reputable moving firm, though, will send someone to take an inventory of your items and check your home for moving conditions before giving you an estimate. Once that estimator is done, compare your inventory to make sure you’re on the same page, and that no items are missing from the list, Real Simple says.
Review the estimate
Check the list of services the company is billing you for. The estimate must be thorough and detailed enough to include essential information such as the type and number of the items being shipped, the distance to your new address and when the firm will pick up and deliver the items. If there are any changes to the estimate, call and ask. Have them bring the written estimate for you to sign, just to be on the safe side of things.
Check out reviews
Online reviews can tell you which way to go. If there are a lot of negative reviews talking about recurring issues involving the quality of the company’s services or crew, then save yourself the frustration and stress by taking those firms off your list and moving on to other options. Positive reviews, though, are a good sign that you’re hiring an excellent team of local movers in Tampa.
Ask about extra fees
Don’t assume that all the services are covered under the general quote. Ask what kind of services may incur you additional charges, so you’ll know if you need to set aside a bit more.
