You may have decided that now is the time to start somewhere new. Deciding to do it yourself or hire a professional moving company is always a tough decision. In this guide, you are going to learn about why you absolutely should hire a moving company. Yes, they cost, but they bring a huge number of benefits to the table. You are going to learn all about them.
Not as Costly as You Might Think
Moving companies are often seen as money guzzlers, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. For most people, a moving company will set them back a couple hundred dollars at the most. You can rent the size of truck you want plus you can hire as many people as you feel are needed. As long as you are clear about the scale of the job, you will pay a comparatively small amount. Furthermore, renting a truck and doing it yourself can actually cost you more.
Safety with the Professionals
You may not know it, but a lot of things can go wrong when moving. Smashed items and badly stacked boxes can easily lead to a huge amount of damage. This happens because people assume that moving is all about stuffing everything into the back of a truck. It’s not true. There are so many variables you have to take into account when moving. Moving companies train the people who work for them, and that’s why you can guarantee that your items will be safe and secure.
Reduce Stress
There’s nothing more stressful and emotional than moving out of an area you know well. The last thing you need is the stress of trying to handle the entire move by yourself. The number one reason why people hire moving companies is they don’t want to stress come the big day. They want to get in their car and drive to the location. That’s it. And a moving company can allow you to do this.
Protect the House
It’s easy to leave scuffs and scrapes along the walls on your way out. The new owners of your house are not going to be happy about that. But it’s what happens when people who aren’t trained try to conduct a house move. Professional movers are trained to stop this from happening. The last thing you want is an unexpected bill when you move into your new place.
Make Things Easy Today
You’ve learned that hiring a moving company makes things easy for you. But how are you going to make things easy for them?
- Place an old carpet on the main traffic routes to prevent slips.
- Make sure you provide some token food and drink. Your movers will appreciate it!
- Tip them generously. If they have gone the extra mile for you, make sure that you show how thankful you are for it.
Making things easier is what hiring a moving company is all about. Now how will you go about finding the moving company you want?
This is some great information, and I appreciate your point that using a professional when moving can help your belongings stay safe. My husband and I are going to be moving in a few months, and we’re still deciding how we want to get our stuff from here to there. We’ll definitely look into hiring professionals so nothing gets damaged in transit. Thanks for the great post!
The only items that I move myself are things that are near and dear to me like my wedding photos or any personal documents – just due to the delicate nature. Everything else I entrust to movers. I have moved many times over the years, and have always had good experiences. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t think twice regarding this issue. I’d definitely hire a moving company because I don’t want stress and I want to move out and in things more easily.

I hired a moving company when I had to moved out to a new house. It’s definitely a great help because everything was done more easily and it was really quick. I’d never thought that transfer would have been that smooth.

I like what this article mentions about movers being able to safely transport furniture in and out of the house. I wouldn’t want to damage the walls of my new home on the first say, so I can definitely see the benefits. I’ll have to keep this in mind when the move gets closer, as I think having the help would be nice.
Having helped neighbors and friends move, it is a lot of work. Not to mention I’ve thrown my back out many times helping. Our family will be moving here in a month and we will be hiring help. They are professionals and it is worth the cost for me.
You made a great point about how hiring professional movers can make moving day more safe for my family. It seems like it’s easy to damage things by accidentally dropping boxes when caring them to from my home. A team of professional movers would know how to handle carrying heavy boxes safely to the truck and into my new home, so I should rely on professionals to carry my belongings for me. Thanks for posting this!
I do agree that hiring a moving company is the best option you have when you’re planning to relocate or transfer to a new home. Just make sure the professionals you hire are legit and insured. Do your research first before picking the right movers.
Dan @ Movers in San Diego recently posted…5 Things To Consider Before Choosing a Moving Company
I always thought that it was too expensive to hire a moving company to help me with my moving, but I’m happy to learn that it isn’t too pricey. I can see how this would help me a lot with dealing with the stress this is linked with moving for me. Perhaps next time I move, I could hire some help!
This is some really great advice for anyone planning a big move. I especially liked your point about safety, because a lot of people don’t realize just how common it is for things to be lost or damaged during a move, and that hiring professionals can really mitigate that risk (they’re professionals for a reason). And I can definitely attest to the amount of stress that it removes from the process. Especially considering how already stressful a move can be. Thanks so much for writing!
I had no idea that most moving companies only charge a couple hundred bucks. That’s really cheap and honestly is worth all the time and stress you would save yourself. It’s also smart to consider hiring a mover if you are moving a really long distance. It’s a great tip to provide the mover’s food and drink; this is just a kind thing to do.
I really had bad experience about hiring moving company and that’s our first time to move with my family , someone of my friend recommend the company but what is the next happen? they pack all our stuff but not organize after the long ride and get in the destination there is one box was left over because accidentally the back of truck was open and that so stressful and annoying but i already forgot about that, And now we planning to move again so that i getting wiser now and do a research for a good company we will hire and i wish in the next we move that is our permanent house because moving is not easy to do..
WOW!!! Thais is really impress for me, those talking point that might help me to organize my items… Thank you so much for sharing this to us.. This is should be followed and I will recommend this to my friends..
This hiring moving tip is absolutely awesome, There some article talking about hiring moving company but I am not satisfied of what they talking about.. But this article is like a eyeopener very detailed information and useful so much.. this should be followed by everyone who read this and I will share this to my friends.. Thank you for sharing by the way..
Anyone who knows me can easily tell you that I tend to get stressed out fairly easily. In my opinion, the stress relieving aspect of a moving company alone definitely makes them worth the price. Your belongings can cost quite a bit of money, and it just isn’t worth it to not have insurance on them with a moving company. After all, it is better to be safe rather than sorry!
We preparing for big moving in few months our item is not yet organize and still we do not know of what’s the best moving company do we hire that’s why I do a research for some suggestion and tips that can help me into my moving problem…
My husband and I are moving and looking into hiring a moving company to help with the whole moving ordeal. I like how you mention that when hiring movers they are more aware of the surroundings and will help protect the house from scuffs and scrapes. I think this would be really helpful because protecting the house is key to not have that much more work to do to have to fix the scuffs and scrapes after moving everything. I will definitely use movers. Thanks for the information!
It does sound like hiring a moving company has a lot of benefits. I never really thought that the moving company would protect the house. However, you are right, if I was moving things myself, I definitely believe I would leave scuffs and scrapes.
Hello Pauline! I totally agreed with you. We should hire moving company because moving house from one place to another is very tough. Moving professionals help us to reduce our stress.
I think that a lot of people naturally assume that hiring a professional moving company is expensive. Like you said, they are not as costly as we might think. Thanks for sharing reasons why we should hire a moving company. I definitely wouldn’t mind not having as much stress to deal with during a move.
I have to move in a few months, and I’m a bit nervous for the stress that usually comes with moving, and somewhat dreading . I don’t normally make to-do lists, but I’ll work on doing that this next time. I really like the idea of getting help from my friends and family to help me move as well! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Pauline… 🙂 I love your article, moreover, its useful.

It’s good to know that professionals are trained to be careful. I have things that I consider fragile, so knowing that the movers I hire know how to protect it helps me feel less stress. Checking to make sure that they are insured before hiring them would be a good idea.
I like your tip on how professional movers can help protect your things well. I would imagine between guarantees and professional packing services it would be easier to keep your belongings safe with a professional. My husband and I are moving soon so maybe we should find a professional company to do help with it.
Perfect list of hiring moving company, as a first timer in moving and do not know of what should I consider to hire moving team this article fit into me. Thank you, Pauline!
Teresa Walton recently posted…Have Stress Free Moving with Packing Services
Why would anyone move without hiring a moving company? You summed up all of the great reasons why people should hire a mover. For me, the safety is a huge plus. That’s safety for me and my family, and safety for the furniture being moved!
When it’s your time to move and your thinking of hiring movers or doing it yourself, consider a few things when deciding. First think about your budget can you afford a moving company. How much help do you need? consider packing up everything yourself ahead of time so the movers only have to load the big items and boxes. You will be surprised at how affordable movers can be when their work load is lessened by your efforts. Secondly consider the time it takes on your own as compared to the time a professional moving company will take. Take a minute to call for an estimate you may be surprised at how affordable movers can be.
Hello there, Pauline!
Your tip and reason why family is should hire moving company is definitely awesome and it is a little bit of festive to hear. Nevertheless, this options is big help to reduce stress and hassle if everyone is simply follow this instructions of relocating,
Thank you so much for the share, keep posting!

This article has a excellent point of hiring company. But, in my case I think, I do not have a reason to hire a moving company, because I have relatives and friends that offers me their full support to help us if we start to relocate. Great post, Pauline!
Ryan Johnson recently posted…Things To Do Before Hiring Full Service Movers
You mentioned that movers can really help reduce stress, as moving can often be an emotional experience for some. My grandmother is moving to a smaller home and she has lived in this home for a long time. This will definitely be an emotional experience for her, so any reduction of stress will be very welcome.
My husband and I are planning on moving soon, so I appreciate this information on professional moving companies. I like how you point out that many moving companies guarantee their work which makes them very reliable choices. I imagine that it would be a good idea as well because they are able to move furniture easily.
Impressive moving information, of how to hire moving company.
Brian Albury recently posted…Things To Do Before Hiring Full Service Movers
I had never thought about comparing the cost of renting a truck myself or hiring a professional moving company. I can see why this would be something to consider when you are moving. My sister is putting her house up for sell next week. I’ll have to talk to her about whether she is hiring someone to help her move.
What a great insightful information and reasons of why do we need to hire moving company, personally, I cannot relate to this topic because I’d never try move to another place and house, but I realize I am living in the real world and I need realistic life facts like this article. Nevertheless, now I am about to create my own checklist and this information is on the top. Thank you, Pauline!

I agree that hiring a professional moving company can help reduce the stress of moving. I think that other than helping with the stress they also help with ensuring your items are transported safely and professionally. I appreciate the advice and will make sure do my homework so I find the best company to help me move.
Great thing you shared with us
Your comments about tips and snacks are considerate. You make a good point about compensating those who go the extra mile for you.
I appreciate the tips on hiring a moving company to make your move easier. I agree that one of the best parts about hiring a moving company is that you don’t have to do the work yourself, it makes it so much easier and also the pros know how to move safer and more efficiently. My brother and his family are planning on moving to a different home, I will be sure to share this information with them on hiring a moving service.
Thanks for sharing the experience your family had with hiring movers to do the actual labor! I have never done that, and am getting tired of hauling boxes up and down stairs every year or two. I’ve always thought it would be way too expensive to hire help, but after reading this, I think it actually might be pretty doable!
Cheerssss,,, 🙂 🙂 🙂
Be at the comfort when you are moving by hiring the right people that will help you in moving.
True indeed. Hiring the service of a moving company can greatly reduce stress and work load. Another thing is that they are very experienced in this kind of work which is why it’s a relief to have them. Thanks for sharing this post, Pauline! 🙂
Evelyn recently posted…When to Move – The Best Days to Move
Hiring a moving company sounds like a great idea. It’s great that they aren’t actually as expensive as I was led to believe. When my wife and I move this summer, we will probably look at hiring some moving help.
I hired moving service too. And very appreciated it’s help. Do you have some trust companies which makes cheaper services?
I and my family planning for a big move in the next month. This moving tip gives a great idea of how to move smoothly and hassle free because personally, I’m not good at organizing stuff’s so this statistics is very important to me. Thank you, Pauline.

I like the valuable information you provide for hire a moving company. This will boost the safety aspect as it will reduce the risk of you suffering any injury during the moving process. Thanks for posting something worth reading. Great work.
Pauline, I’m happy to see that professionals could help you to protect your possessions when moving. My wife and I have been planning on moving to a safer neighborhood this week. I definitely think that we should find some trained professionals to make it much easier to keep our valuables from breaking throughout the process.
A good friend of mine is moving in a few months, and I was wondering if she should use a moving service. You wrote that a moving company knows how to appropriately pack and stack items, to help prevent them from being damaged. Since my friend has some valuable items, hiring a service could save her from some expensive repairs. Thanks for the read.
That’s a good point that moving company helps reduce stress. When you don’t have to worry about if you have everything or not, you can just focus on the drive. I’m moving out of state for my masters and I think me and my wife might rent a mover.
My brother is moving soon. He recently hurt his upper back, so he’s looking for somebody that can help him with the move. I didn’t realize professional movers can help prevent damage to your belongings by carrying and positioning items in the moving truck properly. I’ll be sure my brother is aware of this information.
Be at the comfort when you are moving by hiring the right people that will help you in moving.
I am planning on moving across the country with my wife to be closer to her family since we are going to have a baby soon. We have debated whether to move all of our things ourselves or hiring someone to move it for us. After reading your article, I am leaning more towards hiring a moving company because they would be able to take care of it for us and we wouldn’t have to stress at all. Also, like you mentioned, they don’t charge very much and the fact that my wife is pregnant, I definitely don’t want her moving heavy boxes and things around.
This is a great article on this topic. Finally, I got something awesome, why hire a professional mover is a very helpful information you provide in your articles. Hiring the right moving company is a big part of the process, and your information is too good. Thank you for posting such a good article.
I can see why we should look at hiring a moving and packing company. Like you said, they are just safer, because they’ve been doing it a lot. We have some fragile and valuable stuff, like my wife’s china, and our grand piano. I don’t dare move that myself!
Making checklist and appoint professional is a cleaver thing. Because they know how to handle it.
That makes sense that moving companies have trained staff. I bet they even have insurance to lower your liability further. Moving can be really stressful and not having to worry about damages sounds really good.
My wife and I are thinking about moving next summer but we aren’t sure if hiring movers would help us or not. I like that you mention how movers are extra careful with your valuables and minimize the risk of something breaking. I don’t think I trust myself to move half of my belongings so this might be useful when we move. Thanks for sharing!
My brother is planning on moving to a different city in a few months and wants to make sure he knows how to make the best decisions when it comes to packing and moving his items. I loved when you mentioned how choosing a good moving company can help you avoid the stress of having to deal with the transition on your own. It makes sense that taking the time to do some research and compare several companies can help you find the moving services you need.

It is good to know that hiring a moving company isn’t expensive. My parents are moving and need to hire help. I am going to let them know this might be more affordable than doing it ourselves.
I am glad to get such kind of information because recently I moved my house. It was very difficult for me to move because I already moved twice before this time. It was always stressful, but one of my friends gave me an idea to hire Moving Company in Dubai . I tried it and found very easy and affordable. The way they use techniques, the way they pack is unbelievable. I recommend all those who want to move should hire moving services.
