Getting ready for that big move? Rallying all the friends and neighbors to help? Although this may give you a great reason for a big party, there IS a downside to having non-professionals handle this critical job for you.
First of all, your friends are not trained in handling large pieces of furniture delicately. They could, without meaning to, scratch your prize antique dining table or drop the box marked delicate on your daughter’s toes during the big event.
Movers in Seattle will wrap your prize furniture in blankets before loading it onto their large trucks – meaning it will arrive at your new location intact and scratch free. Your fragile items will be packed in bubble wrap – and not dropped.
Friends also may drag items across hardwood flooring – because they just don’t know any better and want to be done with things and get on with drinking beer! Seattle Movers will make sure that your flooring is kept pristine, and will move items in such a way that nothing gets damaged.
Another reason not to count on friends is – let’s face it – moving is just not going to be top on their list of what they want to do with their weekend. You can count on at least two or three people suddenly getting the flu, or remembering a wedding they have to attend, or … the list goes on.
If you plan on renting a truck, you and most of your friends are probably not USED to driving a large truck. This means the risk of an accident is higher than normal, and YOU are liable unless you purchase expensive insurance. It is true that many insurance policies will cover you as a driver of another vehicle, but do you really want your premiums to go up if anything happens?
Last but not least, moving IS stressful. Leaving all the details to the pros means that you can continue your life as usual with minimal disruption to your routine. Stress is at a minimum, and you can rest assured that everything is being handled professionally.
