Dos and Don’ts When Prepping for Your In-Home Moving Estimate

Are you moving to a new home this year? One of the first steps in planning your move is getting an estimate from professional movers. Today, Tiger Moving & Storage, one of the top local moving experts, shares a quick guide to this process:

The Do’s

• Do Your Research – Check out reputable sites such as the Better Business Bureau when looking for a local mover to hire. Ask friends and family for recommendations. Then go online and look for customer reviews. Once you’ve narrowed down your list to a few companies, contact each one and ask for a quote. 

• Do It at The Right Time – Schedule your estimate at a convenient time. Many companies offer virtual estimates now, so be prepared to do a video call with your mover so they can see the space and give you an accurate estimate.

The Don’ts

• Packing Before the Estimate – There’s no need to have all your things packed before the estimate. On the contrary, it will help your movers prepare a more accurate estimate if they can easily see all the things you have that need to be moved. 

• Buying Packing Material in Advance – Many moving companies offer packing materials and boxes at discounted rates. Some may even provide them for free!
