Researching Your Charleston Move

By Jeff Cartright


Packing and moving to a new house can be very tedious, especially if you have a house that is packed with a lifetime of precious items. The process of moving to a new home in Charleston includes hiring movers to help you move your belongings, loading and unloading of said belongings, connecting and disconnecting appliances, carefully packing and unpacking fragile items and many other tasks which can and will consume a lot of your time and energy. A lot of moving companies will pack your items for you at an extra cost. Most times it is worth it to let the professionals pack for you.

When you are tasked with moving your home yourself, it can be a very trying experience and at the least will stress you out. The good news is, if you hire the right movers, you can lessen these stress factors. That is to say, if you hire good, qualified movers to help you move, it will usually go smoother. As far as moving your precious belongings such as the furniture, electrical appliances like the refrigerator, washing machine, dryer and more, extreme caution must be taken if you want them to function properly at your new home. Therefore, it is important that you hire a professional mover to help you with the move. Quite a few moving companies offer to do the packing as well, so hiring a company that offers both services could save you some money and time.

When you are concerned that all of your priceless belongings, big and small, are packed safely in bubble wrap and placed in high quality cartons or boxes, which lessens the likelihood of breakage, hire professional packers. That begs the question, which movers or packers should I choose? There are many professional movers in Charleston, so, it is hard to know which one might be right for you. The purpose of this article is to hopefully provide you with some practical tips on how to choose the best movers to make your relocation to or from town, an easier one.

The first thing you need to do is gather as much information as you can on all the reputable movers and packers within the vicinity of your location. It continues with you inviting Three to Four movers to come out to your house to give you a free estimate on your move. This is the time to ask detailed questions about their experience and their process. It would also be a good idea to get some recommendations from your neighbors, friends, co-workers or acquaintances on the selection of a moving company. You can also gather information from the Internet which is the best source of information on all things relevant to moving in Charleston.

Make sure to find out if the moving company has good storage facilities. This is an important factor when considering which moving company may be right for you. This is important, mainly because, you may not be able to move into your new home at exactly the time you were hoping. Choose a moving company with adequate storage facilities so that if and when that does happen, you'll have a solid backup plan. Find out if their storage facilities are climate controlled and well priced. We truly hope these tips and guidelines will help you in preparing for your next Charleston move and make it a better experience than last time.
