- Insured – Think about how much all of your belongings being moved cost to replace and ask the company if they have insurance, and how much value the insurance will cover.
- Special Equipment – Live in a high-rise or on the 2nd floor or higher in your current place? If you have large items to move such a pianos, hot tubs, etc., you might need a crane or some hoisting. Ask the Austin mover if they offer these types of services and the associated costs.
- Contract – Get everything for the move on paper, including the mover’s insurance, coverage policy, items to be moved,, move date, where they are being moved from and to, etc.
- Packaging – Will the Austin movers box and wrap all belongings including furniture? Be sure to ask and get this in writing if it’s something you need.
Follow these tips in order to have a peace of mind with your move. Working with a great company that has all of these bases covered will make your life a whole lot easier. Always be sure to contact multiple Austin moving companies to get the best moving service and price.
