Picture Perfect! Prep Your Move and Save Big

How can your full-service move done by professional movers cost the same or less than doing it yourself? Preparation!

How can your full-service move done by professional movers cost the same or less than doing it yourself?  Preparation!  What is the old saying: Proper preparation prevents ...?  Well, particularly pricey performance in this case.

The pictures in this blog post will show you a properly prepared home that is ready for moving day.  Please notice a few things in these pictures:

  1. movers can quickly access all furniture (not having to remove bedding or throw pillows for example)
  2. boxes can be stacked and carried out several at-a-time
  3. walkways free of debris allow everything to be carried out quickly and loaded on the truck

Since local moves are priced by the hour, time is of the essence when thinking about saving movey on your move.  The faster the movers can get everything out of the home and loaded onto the truck, the more money you will save on your move.  In addition, a neatly prepared move that is loaded easily onto the truck is also unloaded quickly - again saving time.

Notice how EVERYTHING is packed - not a knick-knack or trinket in sight. As we discussed in a previous post, this is the #1 way to save money on your move.

Sounds daunting?  Consider using professional packing services.  The extra cost frees you up to do more important tasks and carries complete insurance on any items packed by the moving company.
