Hire a pro or do it yourself?
There are a zillion decisions to be made when you move a household. The first one seems simple: Do it yourself or pay for movers to swoop in, pack up all your belongings and ship them to your new home?
It may surprise you, though, to know that there is a broad spectrum of choices that you can mix and match. Moving is a big American preoccupation — 15% to 20% of the entire population was on the move yearly before the recession slowed things down. In response, the moving industry has come up with an array of ways to configure your move. You can do some jobs yourself and hire experts for others. Ultimately, your decision boils down to the classic tradeoff: spend your money or spend your time.
Before considering the options, a word about preparation: You can’t start too soon. That’s true especially if you are doing part or the entire move yourself. It’s expensive to move things you don’t use – unfinished projects, broken and long-unused furniture, exercise equipment, books, toys, clothes and odds and ends you can’t relinquish. “Start going through your home room by room. Look at each closet, cupboard, and drawer and ask yourself if you really need this stuff.
The ideal, from many people’s perspective, is to relinquish as much of the moving job as possible to professionals. “If you have it all hired, your home is going to remain intact a lot longer before you move. “You don’t have to feel like you’re living in a war zone. Everything stays in place and your life isn’t interrupted until much closer to your move.”
The mover packs all your furniture, appliances and belongings, loads them into a truck or van, transports them to your new location and unloads them from the truck and positions them where you want them. (Movers don’t usually unpack boxes.) Full-service movers can even ship your vehicle.
