Hiring The Right Moving Company in Jersey City

Whether you are a new couple moving into your dream home, relocating for a job in Jersey City, or moving out of state for college, at some point you will have to tackle the process of moving. For those who are not able to move their belongings on their own, it is important to find a company you trust to bring your items to your new home.

Check out how you can determine the right moving team for you.

Take Inventory

Most reputable moving companies have pricing based on the bulk and weight of the furniture. Once you know what furniture needs to be moved, you can usually contact a company online or by phone to find out the estimated cost. It is important to get an accurate quote so you do not run into any surprises on moving days.

Avoid Paying A Large Deposit

Usually, a company that requires a deposit beforehand can be a red flag. Moving is a service you should not necessarily have to commit to and pay for in advance. If anything, a moving company should ask you to provide your credit card information in order to confirm the booking. 

Use Recommendations

Chances are, you may have a friend, family member, or co-worker who can share a recommendation for a moving company. Sometimes word of mouth research can be a great way to weed out the good and bad companies.

Find Out About Fees

Make sure you know exactly what services you are paying for and any fees that may pop up. Do you live in a five-story apartment? You may want to ask if there are any additional fees due to the number of stairs. Struggle to find parking on your street? Give the movers a heads-up to avoid getting stuck paying any parking tickets.

Moving Insurance

Last but not least, it would not hurt to get some liability insurance during your move. You would hate to see any valuables go missing or get damaged. Better safe than sorry!
