What You Should Know About Denver Movers

By Andy Lasing

Hiring movers should not be a task handled lightly. Take it from me. I have moved around so much people are starting to refer to me as a nomad. Most of the time I have hired movers to do all the work for me. When I first moved out of my parent's house I did it myself. After all, I had about two boxes and the clothes on my back. Nowadays, I have a family and a house full of furniture to go with that. Movers are almost essential. Sure, I could call upon all of my friends, but then they never let you forget that time that they helped you move your piano up three flights of stairs with no elevator in the rain. With movers they arrive, the move you, you pay them, and never hear from them again. It is over.

Imagine that you are looking for a new car. Take the same approach to finding Denver movers. You want to use the internet and get all the information you can from there. Most likely, their site does not provide enough information to make an informed decision so you will need to call each company to speak to someone.

Once you have all the information needed to contact the moving company you want to write down some questions. There are some very important things that you need to know about the movers before you commit. Basically, you want to call them up and ask your questions so that you can find out which movers will work best for your needs. There are some things that I suggest everyone know.

When you call ask about their availability for the date of your move. Make sure you are both on the same page about time that you would need them to start. The most important question of all is, "How much do you charge?" Keep in mind that their charge is probably an hourly charge and it should include Denver movers. Make sure you have a clear understanding about that and if they have any minimum requirements.

Find out if they provide anything with the truck such as wardrobe boxes, a dolly, or plastic wrap. Sometimes this is included and sometimes they charge. You also want to make sure to find out if there is anything you need to do before they arrive to make it easier. You do not want them to show up and start the clock then find out that they needed you to remove all your drawers.

The day of your move make sure that whatever needs to be ready before they get there has been taken care of. The last thing you want is for them to show up and you are running around like a chicken with its head cut off. When they do arrive that is usually the time that they start charging so keep that in mind. They are providing a service to you and you want to make sure that they do that service for you. Watch for anyone trying to take breaks or make calls during time that you are being charged for. You do not pay them for that.

At the end of the move, before they leave your premises, make sure that nothing has been damage during the move due to their negligence. Try to deal with as much as you can right then and there, if needed. When you sign the bottom line agreeing to the payment for their services read it very carefully. Make sure that they are not trying to sneak in any charges that you did not request or authorize. Question everything you have a problem with. Always make sure that they have proper insurance for moving services also.

It does cost more monetarily to hire Denver movers, but when you consider all the other factors associated with moving yourself you will see it is well worth it. You can find movers with a decent rate. Now you need to unpack and that is the best part. Your back is not sore and no one has been complaining all day about how heavy things are. - 29958
