How to Find Reliable Austin Movers

One in four people in this country move every year. That’s an astounding forty two million people on the move. In their lifetime a person will move more than 7 times. Studies have indicated that moving can be one of the most stressful times in someone’s life. Moving can create a lot of upheaval. While we might be enthused about the new home, there can also be sadness in leaving behind a familiar home, neighborhood and friends. On top of all this we don’t want to have the added stress of wondering if the Austin moving company is going to handle our possessions with care.

The right Austin moving company can take a lot of stress out of the moving process, but finding one may not always be simple. It will involve more than just flipping through the pages of the phonebook. For starters, there are several types of moving companies. Some may specialize in local moves while others will transport your belongings across the nation or even to another country. Your specific type of move will, to some extent, determine the Austin moving company you’ll hire.

Larger moving companies can also provide you with other services that can be invaluable during your move. They can rent or sell you sturdy packing boxes, actually do the packing for you, arrange for storage, and unpack everything for you once it reaches its destination. Of course these services will cost extra but it’s nice to know they’re available if you need them.

Pricing can vary greatly from one Austin moving company to another, providing you with very different estimates for the exact same move. When it comes to your valuables, choosing the lowest estimate might not be the way to go.

Where to Look for Reputable Austin Movers

Begin by asking the people you know. Almost everyone has moved at least once in their lifetime, so ask your family, friends or co-workers if they can recommend a good Austin moving company. Check with your realtor that helped you find your new home. Your real estate agent might be able to provide you with some good information from feedback they get from some of their other clients. If you're planning a local move, look for moving vehicles that are working in your city. Usually the most popular Austin moving company is the busiest and therefore the one you will see around town the most often.

Check the internet. A lot of moving companies maintain a website listing their services, how long they’ve been in business, the areas they cover as well as an online estimator page to help you get an initial idea of how much the move will cost you. You can also find their phone number and address along with an email address for any questions you might have. The internet can also help you do some background research on any Austin moving company you might be considering.

The Austin Movers Quote

After you compile your list, it’s time to call the Better Business Bureau to determine if anyone has ever filed a complaint about one of the companies you have in mind. Considering the volume of business Austin moving company handles it’s not unusual for a company to have a few complaints, but the important thing is to find out exactly what the complaints were and if they were taken care of to the customer’s satisfaction.

Before talking directly with any Austin moving company, it’s a good idea to make a list of how many rooms you have and if you have any large pieces of furniture that might require extra work or care to move. Don’t forget to include the garage or any patio furniture. It’s not necessary to be exact but it will help give the Austin moving company some idea of what you’ll need.

Selecting Your Austin Movers

It can be a little confusing to compare the different quotes. Rates can vary a lot in the business and since companies use different methods to calculate their bids, you may end up with some very different numbers. You’ll find that while one Austin moving company may charge by the load, another may charge by the hour or even by the room.

It's important that you get all your Austin moving company quotes in writing and to make sure that you completely understand how they are calculated. Don’t forget to read the fine print. You need to know what your options are should there be any damages. Be aware that many companies won’t cover damages if you choose to pack your own things unless it’s due to their carelessness, such as dropping something.

After getting your estimates from each Austin moving company, you can make some comparisons and choose the Austin moving company that you feel you can trust to safely move your possessions. Many people really do find moving to be very stressful. So the last thing you need to deal with is incompetent movers or damaged possessions. In the end when you see the moving van pull away from the curb, you want to know you’ve chosen the right Austin moving company to get your belongings safely to their new home.

Testimonials


Testimonial
"We have been extremely pleased with the services of M & M Moving, Ltd. of Austin, TX. We have used them on several major local moves and several smaller jobs. M & M moved our 5,000 square foot household and office to two separate locations. Additionally, they helped us move especially heavy office furnture for a re-carpeting and expansion into adjacent space, and they have moved items to and from our storage units. They also packed many of our rooms. Each time, the men arrived on time, were careful with our belongings, efficient in their work, and had excellent manners. Nothing was broken or missing, ever. The final cost for each move was exactly what we were promised at the outset. We recommend this company without qualification. Go with M & M; you will be glad you did."
