Be Sure your Moving Company Provides you with an In-Home Estimate

When you’re looking for some assistance in moving homes, you’re going to end up in discussions with several residential moving companies. This will ultimately end up with you receiving several moving quotes to look over. The important part of this process is making sure that when you do get a quote from a company, it’s an accurate one. The only way to guarantee that it is accurate is by having them do an in-home estimate and not just provide you with one over the phone.

An in-home moving estimate is an extremely important step in the quoting process because without being able to lay eyes on the entirety of the job, there’s no way you’ll be able to be provided with a quote that’s going to be anywhere near accurate. This will lead to you looking at very different quotes, and provides the potential for you to make a bad choice. If you go with the lower, over the phone bid, you might be taken aback when you find out that the real cost is going to be larger due to unseen criteria.

It’s also important that even if you’ve had all of your competing companies provide you with an in-home moving estimate that you are comparing apples to apples. If one bid is several measures beneath the rest, this might mean that the quote left out some services that you asked of the others. You’ll want to make sure that each quote has everything that you asked for before contracting with the moving company you end up choosing.

Some movers might be able to handle everything you need done, while others might need to recommend you to a 3rd party. This would include things like moving a large piano, pool table, and other large, unwieldy possessions or specialty items. You want to make sure that you’re comparing the entire picture when it comes to the quotes you’re receiving. Add in the cost of the piano mover if one quote has it included but the second one doesn’t. You’ll be able to get the whole picture that way.
