By Sally Delacruz


Majority of people classify moving as one of the most stressful and least fun events of life, especially the actual process of getting your household stuff from one location to the other. Once you make that big decision to relocate and then figure out all the important aspects such as where your children will school, choosing a mover may just be an afterthought. However, you must not skimp of this last detail. You want all your household goods to reach the new destination safely and the only way to achieve this is to choose a competent mover. Below are tips to help you identify the best Roanoke movers.

Nothing can beat word of mouth when it comes to choosing any service provider. As such, you should ask people who have been in contact with moving companies in the past for recommendations. Good companies will always be recommended by majority of past customers and vice versa for those that are not so good. However, you must not make your choice based on recommendations alone.

When it comes to moving, experience usually count a lot and track record shows the ability of the mover to deliver in time. Experience should be relevant. For instance, if you are moving a business, you should look for a company with experience in moving businesses. Likewise, if you are to move a residential home, look for a mover with experience in this.

The only way you can be sure that a mover is legit is by seeing its license of operation. Most of the moving companies usually have this displayed on their walls. However, if you cannot see it hanged anywhere, feel free to ask for it. After all, it is the safety of your belongings that you are concerned about.

Moving usually come with lots of risks. As such, you need to be on the safe side by dealing only with insured companies. Ask your prospective mover for his certificate of insurance and verify that it also provides cover to good on transit. This will safeguard you in case of accident or breakages during the moving process.

Moving cost is also important. Request quotes from at least three movers and pick the one with the most competitive quote. However, you should stay away from companies whose charges are suspiciously low. This might be an indication that the company lacks adequate experience or is desperate for clients.

It is also important to decide whether you would want the mover to pack your goods. One way to reduce your moving cost is to pack yourself. However, you need to remember that the mover will not be liable for damages to customer packed cartons unless there is obvious exterior damage at the time of delivery.

Good moving companies are always booked well in advance. As such, you need to follow suit if you want the best. Book your mover at least three months to the arranged date of actual relocation. It is also important to keep in touch with the company so that they can inform you if there are any changes.
