Whether office or residential, moving to a new location can be intimidating and nerve racking all at the same time. Moves are supposed to be exciting, but when the excitement of relocating dies down and the reality of packing, wrapping, taking apart, shipping, storing, unloading, putting back together sets in the excitement can fade.
Experienced movers can definitely help ease the tension and rid the potential move of unwanted stress. A moving team is designed to help meet a need and the professional movers of Houston can do so at almost a moment’s notice.
What to Look for in a Moving Company
When searching for that experienced, credible and reliable moving company, Houston customers should keep in mind the specific kind of services that will be needed. If the move is an office move, make sure the moving professionals have experience moving offices. Ask if they know how to transport files, dissemble office equipment, disconnect electronics and reassemble and reconnect on the other end of the move.
Look for Houston movers with a long history of moving. Ask for references, talk with previous customers, and check out online reviews to determine the company’s quality. Some movers may offer:
* Single point of contact
* Pre-move planning and budgeting
* On-site project management
* Space planning and floor plan design
* Computer, electronics, files and records moving
* Server rack relocations
* Disaster recovery and restoration
* Valuation coverage
* Furniture installation and reconfiguration
If the move is a residential move then make sure the moving company has experience moving big and large homes. Ask about rates. Find out if additional services are offered including packing and unpacking. Some companies serve as relocation agencies, which allow them to offer additional services such as:
* Staging, decluttering and organizing
* Realtor selection and home marketing plan design
* Short and long-term storage
* Cash back on home sale and purchase
Ask for References
When it comes to making the ultimate decision on who will move valuable home or office items, make sure to ask for references. Follow up on those references and then ask around for additional comments regarding a potential company. Never skip this part of the process as it most often ensures the best of the best have been chosen.
