What to know about hiring a mover - Detroit Free Press

Hiring a professional moving company is the safest, easiest way to get items from point A to point B and avoid headaches. But consider these points when choosing a company to move your belongings:

Meet face-to-face

Do not accept moving estimates over the phone. In order to give an accurate estimate, the mover should survey all items being moved, including what is in the attic, basement, garage or shed.

Weight watchers

For a move between states, also known as an interstate move, professionals typically use the distance of the move and the total weight of the items being shipped to create an estimate. Although not as common, some movers will base their estimate on the amount of truck space required for the pieces being shipped.

Estimates for local, or intrastate, moves are usually based on an hourly rate or the number of movers needed.

You break, you buy?

Homeowners should protect themselves and their possessions by ensuring the company handling their move is adequately insured.
