When Help From Reliable Moving Companies Northern VA Families Can Relocate With Less Stress

By Scott Bennett


Any move to a new locality, especially if it involves a move distant from where the family is currently living and working can be traumatic. Nobody likes to be separated from old and treasured friends, forced to resign from societies and clubs and to venture into the virtually unknown. It is only natural that people worry and fret when they move house. Thankfully, with assistance from experienced moving companies Northern VA families can stop worrying about their possessions.

It is astonishing to learn just how many families hope to save money by handling their own relocations. The facts are that this seldom saves any money. Transit insurance is much more expensive and inexpert packers and movers are almost certain to cause damage to prized possessions, either while packing or during the trip to the new home. Hiring professionals to deal with the move is the only sensible route.

Another very important fact that DIY movers often overlook is the fact that packing, loading, transporting and unpacking are all extremely labour intensive tasks that it requires a lot of physical strength. Packing, especially, requires experience and the correct packing materials for the various items being packed. Doing this wrong will almost certainly result in breakages and damage. Hauling a large trailer or driving a rented truck over long distances can be exhausting.

Once a move is inevitable, much can be done to make things easier for every member of the family. As part of the initial planning a comprehensive list should be drawn up. This list should detail all the things that has to be done before the move can take place, actions that must be taken during relocation and the priorities after the move is completed. Every task should be assigned to a specific family members and regular feedback sessions should be organized.

The process of packing and preparing furniture for a move is of critical importance. Most relocation contractors are experienced in packing, but the clients should always try to personally supervise the process. Each container should be marked according to the room where it will be needed at the new house. It is also important to keep an inventory of each container. Valuable items should not be packed with other household goods.

In many cases there are repairs, renovations and alterations to be made at the new home. It is definitely better to complete these projects before actually moving in. It is also recommended to hire a professional cleaning company to thoroughly clean the new home prior to the actual move. Frustration can also be avoided to make all the necessary arrangements for switching on all the utilities before relocating.

When evaluating potential relocation contractors it is vital to insist on written quotations. This document should not only specify the cost of the move but all the various responsibilities that the contractor will undertake. The quotation should specify the type of insurance that will be covering the possessions of the client while they are in transit. It is also always a good idea to ask for valid references.

Moving to a new environment, a new house, new schools and a new job can certainly be very stressful. This stress can be alleviated if the family knows that their possessions are in good hands and that it will arrive at the new location intact. This reassurance can only be provided by reliable and experienced professionals.
