5 Reasons to Hire a Professional Mover

After you’ve locked in your moving date, it’s time to decide how you’ll get your possessions from point A to point B.

Moving is undeniably an expensive endeavor. To save money, many people try to move their possessions by doing a self-move. The mover does all the work to gather supplies, pack boxes, rent a moving truck, and round up friends and helpers to carry heavy furniture. This time-consuming work adds unnecessary stress to an already stressful situation!

Hiring professional movers alleviates many of the stresses of moving. At Peavler Moving & Storage, our customers are so pleased with our work that they recommend us to their friends and family for moving and storage needs, too!

Here are some ways Peavler Moving & Storage can help your move go smoothly.

1. Efficiency

When most people think of moving, they think of packing the moving van and driving to their new home. But the process of moving involves all the work behind the scenes: sorting, packing, and unpacking. Moving your home or business by yourself can take days, weeks, or even months to complete from start to finish.

Hiring Peavler Moving & Storage significantly reduces your moving process time with our expertise. While some of our customers choose to self-pack, our movers can also pack your belongings for you, which saves you a lot of time! Our trained movers know proper lifting, handling, and loading techniques to cut down on the time spent packing your furniture and belongings into a moving truck.

2. Protection of Your Belongings

When moving, many people want to pack their own belongings because they believe they will pack more carefully than movers.

This might be true for standard movers, but Peavler Moving & Storage is the exception! Here’s a review from Debby Vifquain:

“We were so pleased with our moving and storage experience with Peavler’s. The men who moved our belongings to storage and the to Richmond were a blessing. Every man was polite and considerate. They treated our belongings with care. If you need to move, we highly recommend Peavler’s. They were worth every penny.”

You can actually better protect your belongings by hiring Peavler Moving & Storage than you could on your own! This is because we have all the right packing materials, lifting and loading techniques, and experience to keep your belongings in optimal condition during transportation.

3. Avoids Injuries

Most Americans, especially those who have low-movement jobs, are at a greater risk for injury during a move. If you have a relatively sedentary lifestyle, spending a day lifting heavy boxes and furniture for hours can strain your body considerably. You (or your moving buddies) might be feeling the repercussions of your move for days, weeks, or months.

You don’t want to be nursing a sore back, knee, or shoulder after your move. There’s still a lot of unpacking to be done and life carries on whether you are in pain or not.

Hiring Peavler Moving & Storage can prevent pain and injuries from moving. Our trained movers have all the equipment and expertise to properly lift heavy boxes and furniture so you don’t have to!

4. Keep Good Relationships With Family and Friends

As you’re preparing to move, your family and friends know what’s coming: you’ll eventually ask them to help you move. While some friend and family groups are exceptionally willing to help, fulfilling this request can often feel obligatory, and pizza doesn’t always feel like the best payment for giving up your Saturday.

Hiring Peavler Moving & Storage keeps all your relationships healthy by letting our movers do the hard work for you (and your friends!). You can be the director of the move without worrying about any relationship dynamics, and you can avoid any feeling of indebtedness to your friends and family.

5. Meets Your Self-Storage Needs

It can take some time to sort through your possessions and rearrange them into a new space. There are many reasons you may want to rent a self-storage space:

  • A temporary or transitional move: You might have to move out of your old space before your new home is ready, so you rent a small space while you wait for your new home.
  • Downsizing: A self-storage unit allows you to keep all your belongings, even if it doesn’t fit in your living space.
  • A fast move: Sudden moves mean you can’t sort through everything and throw out what you don’t need. Renting a self-storage unit allows you to make the living space transition but take your time going through all your possessions.
  • Inheritance: Processing an influx of your parent’s possessions can be overwhelming, especially while grieving. It’s a process that shouldn’t be rushed! Storing these in a self-storage unit allows you to take your time to make wise decisions.

Peavler Moving & Storage has top-quality self-storage units available for these and other self-storage needs! It’s most convenient to use a professional mover with their own self-storage units because it streamlines the moving and storage process.
