How to Choose the Right Moving Company this Spring

Will you be moving this spring? If you’ve been calling around to find a moving company in Brampton, ON, you’ve probably already figured out that many movers are booking months in advance. So you can’t drag your feet or else you could find yourself without a mover on moving day. When you make the right choice, you’ll find that your stress level goes down big time. What follows are some tips to help you find the right moving company.

Ask Those You Know

It makes sense to start by asking people you know – family, friends, and co-workers – for recommendations. You can bet that people in your sphere of influence have moved at some point, so who better to go to for recommendations on which moving companies are worth hiring? Once you have a list of candidates, you can investigate further to decide who to hire.

Stick to a Mover that Has Been Around for Awhile

It’s best to find a mover that has been around for a while. For one thing, it’ll be much easier to research a company that has been in operation for more than a few years. A moving company with a long history of serving the community is more likely than not doing something right. Chances are that you’ll be more satisfied with a more experienced company than with a less experienced company…and the number of years in existence adds to the experience level.

Read Reviews

You should also check out some online reviews. While you can read some from moving companies’ websites, you should also check some out from third-party review websites. You’ll be able to learn more about different service providers from other people in and around Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.

Make Phone Calls

Once you’ve whittled down your list to a manageable number of moving companies, you can then call them and ask whatever questions you might have. You can ask about rates, the sizes of moving trucks they have, options for the number of professional movers, and more.

In-Home Consultation

You’ll definitely want to schedule an in-home consultation with at least one moving company. If you encounter a moving company that wants to book your move and give you a quote without first coming to your home for an in-home consultation, you should look elsewhere. Professional movers will insist on sending representatives to your home to take inventory, to ask questions, and to explain the entire process to you so that you know what to expect. If you so choose, they will then give you a quote and book your move.
