Choosing a Professional Mover

  • Ask family and friends for recommendations.
  • If in doubt, check with the Better Business Bureau.
  • Determine the size, distance and timing of your move.
  • Choose between a "self service" move (you pack and unpack) or a "full service" move (the moving company packs and unpacks).
  • Obtain a written cost estimate.
  • Review insurance coverage. There are three types:
    1. Standard coverage
    2. Assessed value coverage
    3. Full replacement coverage
