If you have ever moved house before, you probably remember everything that went wrong and why or how it happened. Most people choose to do the move themselves because they believe that they can do it better. However, moving companies in Chicago have the appropriate tools and employees to ensure that your possessions get packed and moved correctly. Choosing the best movers in Chicago is easy if you know a few tips ahead of time.
Thorough Walk-Through/Inventory
Professional moving companies should go with you throughout the home to assess what you have and what they need to do to get it on the truck and into your new home. In most cases, they take an inventory of all your possessions, determining the weight and bulk of your move. They should go through drawers, bookcases, cupboards, and everything else (with your permission, of course).
They should also discuss what items you don’t want to take (leave at home) or the items that you are taking yourself to donate or to have enough clothing and toiletries until you get your new place squared away.
Payment on Delivery
Some companies believe that it’s best to get a large deposit from you before they do any work (usually a percentage of the entire cost). However, reputable moving companies do not demand any cash up front and pay once the items have been delivered and inspected by you and an employee. However, if you require emergency moving needs, such as same-day, they may ask for a small deposit because they have to move other clients around and ensure they have people available.
The best movers are those that take pride in what they do and do it well. Visit Aaron Bros Moving System, Inc. in Chicago to use their free moving estimate calculator today.
