The Benefit of Using Professional Movers
So, you’ve decided it’s time to sell your family home, trendy condo or invest in that fixer-upper that you’ve been eyeing: Great! And now that your closing day has been finalized, you’re ready to see if your friends and family are free to help you move. After all, what’s so hard about moving some furniture around?
Before you go ahead with a do-it-yourself move, consider this: Moving without the right vehicle, tools or experience can end up costing you more money than you anticipated: whether it’s broken items, a banged-up truck or even post-moving day muscle pain, we’re here to tell you why hiring a professional moving company is worth it!
Make Your Move Easier with Bird’s Moving
As a St. Catharines Moving company since 1933, our team has successfully orchestrated thousands of moves in the Niagara region and across Canada! And while your Uncle Leo might insist that he has all the necessary qualifications to help you move, (after all, he has helped dozens of friends move!), a professional team of movers will bring unparalleled expertise to the timing, safety and satisfaction of your move.
Here’s why a professional moving company is worth it:
1. Experience: While it’s certainly possible to have a wonderful DIY moving-day experience, most people do not move every day, which can leave you feeling unprepared. In fact, the size of your home, the number of stairs and the type of items you’re moving will all impact how you move awkward-shaped furniture, family heirlooms or big-ticket items like your TV or wine fridge.
Because professional movers spend each day packing, maneuvering, and loading items, they possess a unique understanding of moving that goes beyond placing boxes into a truck! A professional mover will consider not only the type of furniture that you have, but also the space that you’re moving out of (or in to) to determine how to approach your move. At Bird’s Moving and Storage, our movers will conduct personalized assessments before moving day to familiarize themselves with your home and its contents. This extra step in the preparation process allows our team to recommend the right size crew, vehicle, and type of equipment to give you the best move possible.
2. Equipment: One of the most noticeable benefits of hiring a moving company? Having access to a crew of people who have proper vehicles, mats and more to ensure that your belongings are protected throughout the move. So, while your neighbour may generously lend you their time, and their truck, can you count on them to lend you multiple dollies, mats and packing material to help you protect your home and furniture from damage? And what about a moving truck? Is your parent or friend comfortable with driving a vehicle of that size?
At Bird’s Moving and Storage, our movers are trained to not only utilize moving equipment in a safe and effective manner but also have the confidence and experience to operate them safely. Our movers know how to move items in and out of your home as efficiently as possible, which means that you can not only avoid injury, but also enjoy a faster move.
3. Safety: When you opt-out of hiring professional movers, you miss out on more than just experience and proper equipment: you’re a preventing yourself from enjoying a safe and stress-free move. Despite the money you may save from moving on your own, inexperienced movers are bound to suffer from injuries and accidents, including dropped items and scuffed floors, which could cause you even more money than you anticipated.
The most exciting day of your life could quickly turn into a disaster should any friends or family members hurt themselves on your property. Therefore, hiring a team of professional movers will ensure that you, your family, your friends and your belongings are safe throughout the move!
