What Will Your Moving Company Ask You?

You probably made a long list of requirements to find the best Auburn movers for you. From positive third-party reviews to cost equipment, you compared every option until you reached the perfect company that meets all your standards.  

What you probably didn’t know is that professional movers have their own list, too. Before taking on a new client, we must ask some questions to get an idea of the scale of the project and be sure that we can fulfill all your needs. 

So, if you want to be prepared, here are some questions any moving company might ask you.

5 Things Your Mover Should Know 

1. When You’re Planning to Move 

Moving companies can be busy depending on the season, so you’ll want to discuss the moving date beforehand. 

This includes informing us of the times that you are available. Can you skip work for a day, or is it mandatory to move on the weekend? What is your preferred hour of the day? All this information will help us adapt as much as possible to your needs. 

2. Where You’re Planning to Move 

Another important factor to discuss is location. Most moving companies specialize in certain areas, which may have already affected your choice. However, even after finding the perfect home moving service, we’ll need as many details as possible on the terrain’s conditions. 

For example, is there a low tunnel on the way there? If so, the truck may not be able to go through, and we’ll have to look for an alternate route. Additionally, certain areas are more prone to flooding when it rains. With a proper heads-up, we will be able to prepare better.  

3. Old and New Home Characteristics 

Before moving, it’s important to measure the entrance dimensions of both your old and new homes to see if every object can or cannot pass through. No one wants to reach their final home and find out the bedframe won’t fit through the door.  

Additionally, we’ll ask for details on what kind of home you’re moving from and to. Carrying boxes up and down the truck is not the same as climbing seven flights of stairs because the elevator is broken. 

4. What Heavy or Large Objects You Have 

No moving company will reject you for having heavy objects—that’s what we’re here for, after all! However, being well-informed can help make the process easier, save time, and protect your belongings. 

5. Antiques and Fine Art 

Moving antiques and art collections is a delicate affair that requires special care and specific transport conditions. By informing us beforehand, we can plan the move carefully.  

For fragile items like porcelain, we’ll devise a customized plan that includes special packing methods, handling techniques, and climate-controlled transport options. The same goes for moving art. 

Climate-controlled storage helps maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels to avoid environmental damage.
