Anyone who's ever had to move houses knows how stressful the process can be. Not only are you organizing, packing and transporting all the belongings in your home to a new address, but you also need to think about aspects such as switching utility providers or updating your driver's license if it's an interstate move.
Boyer Rosene, a trusted moving and storage company in the Chicago area, has been taking the lead on residential relocations of all shapes and sizes since 1962, when we first opened our doors. We know better than anyone how hard it can be to try and execute a household move without professional help, and have outlined below some of the major ways a team of trusted movers can alleviate some of that stress.
Reduced Physical Strain
Home relocations take a lot of elbow grease—not only are you packing all of your belongings, but you're most likely also cleaning each room as you go, disassembling large furniture pieces, and loading heavy boxes into the back of trucks and vans. This creates many opportunities for homeowners to injure or overexert themselves in the process.
A seasoned mover, however, has been trained on industry best practices to minimize risks and avoid injuring themselves or others, and have access to equipment that make the entire process much safer.
Less Time Consuming
If you're attempting to complete a DIY move, you can plan on setting aside a lot more time than if you hire the professionals. With less experience, materials and manpower, you'll need to start prepping for moving day well in advance. Homeowners should begin collecting boxes from local shops a couple of months ahead of time, and begin the packing process at least a couple weeks before moving day, as well as cleaning each room as you go.
This tedious process can be streamlined with the help of a seasoned moving company. For the least stressful experience possible, find a mover that offers full-service relocations. This way, you can focus your attention elsewhere while letting your trusted team handle aspects such as:
- Full-Service Packing
- Customized Crating Solutions
- Furniture Assembly and Disassembly
- Padding Along Floors and Doorways
- Debris Removal
- Vehicle Shipping
- Piano Shipping
Better Protection of Valuables
Most homeowners can't keep their own belongings as safe while in transport as professional movers can. Most folks collect used boxes from places around town, and try and get by with things like newspaper as padding. While these materials work just fine for many nonbreakable belongings, such as books, clothing, or kids' toys, you run a much higher risk of breaking fragile items like home decor, kitchenware or antiques.
If you want to ensure the safety of your household belongings, let a local moving company take the lead instead. Licensed movers have access to state-of-the-art equipment and high-quality packing supplies that all but eliminate the chance of an accident, including:
- Sturdy Boxes
- Crates
- Foam Cushions
- Packing Peanuts
- Air Pillows
- Bubble Wrap
- Cardboard Dividers
- Straps
