A Full Service Moving Company Helps Reduce Relocation Stress

Whether moving a long distance or just a few miles away, packing up and transporting a whole household is a massive undertaking. With many moves accompanying other major life events, such as job transitions or family changes, the stress can be overwhelming. A full-service relocation company helps offload some or all of the effort of moving personal effects and furniture, leaving room for you to focus on other logistics, like switching utilities and locating new service providers. 

Packaging and Packing

Full-service moving firms provide a wide range of services you can select, including a completely hands-off experience. Skilled movers can come into your home and pack up every item with care, including breakable collectibles, dishes, linens, and larger pieces in need of secure packing or crating. If the thought of someone else handling your fragile pieces or clothing is undesirable, relocation companies also sell a full complement of packing supplies, such as heavy-duty moving boxes, bubble wrap, and other transport containers. 

Movers are also able to take apart basic furniture. Part of the job is disassembling and reassembling bed frames and separating two-piece cabinets or removing mirrors from dressers for safe transport. They can also reassemble at the new site. Always ask a moving company about services included in a standard contract and what qualifies as an add-on or a la carte purchase to ensure you receive all services required.

Loading and Unloading

When moving day arrives, a full-service company loads up a moving vehicle and transports your possessions to the new address. If some items need to be off-loaded at a second site, such as a storage unit or another house, a contract can also accommodate visiting a second location. At the new home, movers will unload every item with care and transport it to a room of choice. 

Relocation companies are masters of long-distance moves and cross-town relocations, so they can secure a load safely for traveling any distance. A moving contract may stipulate a set timeframe and distance calculated for the job to be completed, and any excess mileage or time would then be added charges.

Setup and Rearranging

Additional services can include the full setup of a new home. Movers help initially relocate and rearrange furniture at the new home in addition to unpacking moving boxes and setting up smaller items, such as placing dishes back in a cabinet or reloading a bookshelf. This leaves the new home ready to use. Any minor tweaking, such as book order or pantry organization, can be accomplished on your schedule at a later date.
