Moving Time: DIY or Hire a Professional Mover?

Moving can be stressful. Consider the size of your move to determine whether you should hire movers or opt to DIY.

Whether you choose to pack up your home and move your belong or hire a moving company can be a
difficult choice. As we all know, once you start packing, the number of nooks and crannies that need to be
boxed up is often more than ones initial estimate. Furniture and other large items can be difficult and
dangerous to move and need to be handled with care. Consider the following when you plan your move:

Your schedule and available time
Your budget for your move
The difficulty of moving the largest and heaviest items in your home
The size and complexity of the move: How much is being moved? Is storage necessary?
Are resources available: Do you have access to a truck? Moving supplies? Some strong and willing
friends?
Personal preference: Do you like DIY projects or would you prefer to hire someone?

Advantages of doing your own moving

Less time-sensitive

Disadvantages of DIY moving

Estimating moving space is difficult. How many trucks or what size truck is required?
Factor in travel distance. This will add cost to fuel.
Moving equipment like boxes, tape, specialty packing materials, and truck rental can add up, and
might not be so different from the cost of hiring a pro.
No insurance on items that are broken during the move
Physical strain of moving your heavy items
