Locating Qualified Portland Movers

Every year 1 in 4 U.S. citizens will move. That’s more than 42 million people. The average person will move many times within their life. It has been proven that the third most stressful time in a person’s life is when they move. Moving can create a lot of upheaval. While we might be enthused about the new home, there can also be sadness in leaving behind a familiar home, neighborhood and friends. We don’t need the added burden of being fearful about entrusting everything we own in life to a Portland moving company.

The right Portland moving company can take a lot of stress out of the moving process, but finding one may not always be simple. It will probably require more than searching through your local phone book. Moving companies can be quite diverse in the services they provide. Some companies may only work locally while others are national or even global. The Portland moving company you choose will have a lot to do with your specific type of move.

Some moving companies also offer a number of convenient services that can help you in your move. Some companies will often rent or sell you all the packing supplies you’ll need for moving, assist you with packing up your belongings and help with the unpacking once your things get to your new home. While these added features will cost you more, they can be a great convenience.

Estimates from one Portland moving company to another can vary greatly and might be confusing to compare. When it comes to your valuables, choosing the lowest estimate might not be the way to go.

Where to Search for Qualified Portland Movers

Talk with everyone you know. There’s hardly a person that hasn’t moved at some point in their lives so just start with friends, relatives and work associates. They’re likely to know a good Portland moving company . You might also try talking with the real estate agent that worked with you in locating your new home. Your real estate agent might be able to provide you with some good information from feedback they get from some of their other clients. If you’re move is local, keep a look out for moving trucks working in the area. It’s easy to assume that the Portland moving company that you see the most often is also the busiest and therefore the most popular.

Search the internet. You’ll find a number of companies that have their own websites that will tell you about their specific services, the locations they cover and even a page where you can enter some basic information to get an approximate price on how much the company will charge. You can also find their phone number and address along with an email address for any questions you might have. While you’re searching the internet you can also do a background check on any Portland moving company that you find.

The Portland Movers Bid

Once you have your list you need to make a call to the Better Business bureau to ask if any of the companies you have in mind have any complaints on file. It’s not unusual to find that even a good Portland moving company has a couple of complaints on file but it is important to find out what the complaints were and if they were resolve satisfactorily.

It’s a good idea to make a list before you call any Portland moving company. Write down how many rooms you need to be moved, if you have any large pieces such as a piano or oversized curio cabinet and make sure you include the garage or utility shed if you have one. Your list doesn’t have to be very elaborate but it will help you convey to the Portland moving company what you need to have moved.

Choosing Your Portland Movers

It can be a little confusing to compare the different quotes. Services and pricing can vary greatly from one company to another as well as the way each company calculates their quote. One company may charge by the room, another by the load and still another Portland moving company by the hour.

Be sure that you understand how each Portland moving company puts together their estimate and that everything is written in detail. Look closely at the fine print. If your belongings are damaged during the move, you need to know if you have any recourse. Be aware that many companies won’t cover damages if you choose to pack your own things unless it’s due to their carelessness, such as dropping something.

After getting your estimates from each Portland moving company, you can make some comparisons and choose the Portland moving company that you feel you can trust to safely move your possessions. Moving can indeed be a very stressful time for many people. You don’t need the added stress of worrying about damage to your possessions at the hands of irresponsible movers. It doesn’t matter whether you’re moving near or far, you need to find a Portland moving company you feel certain will safely move your possessions for you.
