An important component of hiring a responsible moving company is the estimate. The only way for this to happen is for the company to come to your home to see what they are faced with. A combination of what has to go, the distance between your current home and your new one and any complications such as stairs, extra heavy furniture or truck parking issues will add up to the price.
What happens during the estimate?
Before the estimator arrives you should have gone through everything and either disposed of the things that are not going or at least set them aside. What is important to the estimator is that which is going, don’t worry about packing boxes, these people know what they are doing.
The estimator will go through every room in the house; the quote will include the contents of the garage, basement, outdoor furniture, etc. This is the ideal time to ask any questions that you have, you should make a list of questions before the estimator arrives, in this way you will not forget to discuss something of importance to you.
What assessments are made?
As the estimator goes through your home he or she will be noting not only the weight but the physical size of that which will go. This is important as it has an impact on the size of the truck that will be used.
Upon completion you will be given a formal estimate but bear in mind, it is an estimate but the best estimators always try to offer a price that they know will not be exceeded.
It is a good idea for you to review the estimate alongside the company rep, if necessary you can ask questions such as; who is responsible for dismantling the beds or large pieces of furniture?
The estimator will brief you on the next steps that you should take in the event theirs is the Dallas moving company that you choose to use for your move.
