3 Tips for Hiring a Dependable Moving Company

Get Estimates

Obtain at least three quotes from moving companies so you can compare them. You could simply call a few local movers or make requests online. Most companies will provide general rates and other information over the phone, but you should schedule an appointment with a mover to get the most accurate estimate for your job. 

Verify Their Credentials

Ask each mover you consider for proof of insurance, including workers’ compensation, commercial liability, and vehicle policies. In New York, a Department of Transportation (DOT) number is required on all professional moving vehicles — to verify a company’s credentials, call (800) 786-5368.

Request Referrals 

The best way to find an excellent mover is to ask friends, neighbors, and co-workers for recommendations. The Better Business Bureau also is a terrific resource. Realtors and staff members at your destination, whether it’s an apartment complex or senior living facility, also might have suggestions.

Ask Questions

Most movers are happy to answer questions from a customer so they can avoid misunderstandings about their services.  Ask how they will handle the contents of dressers, fragile objects, and large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped items. If you need piano moving, ask whether the moving company can take care of it.
