Planning a Move This Summer?



If you are planning a move, chances are you’ve discovered that there is more “stuff” than you thought, and it is much easier to hire a professional mover than to attempt it yourself.
Today, the millennials collect more than the X generation, who travel much lighter than baby boomers, but no matter what generation you’re from or how many belongings you are moving, obtaining a licensed professional mover is an important decision. They will assist you through this stressful time in your life.
Before you start the packing process, realize that all movers are not equal, and you want to find the best, so the move will go smoothly. When planning a move, get all the information first so that you will be organized and on track through the process. In the U.S., all legitimate moving companies should be licensed, bonded and insured. Here are what these terms actually mean:

Licensed

A licensed moving company refers to the business license, which they are required to have by law and is granted by the federal or state government for the company to legally conduct business. They are licensed specifically for moving services.

Bonded

A bonded moving company is one that guarantees their customers that the work you have hired them to do they will complete. This is accomplished through a binding financial agreement with a signed contract. Moving companies of personal household goods must obtain permits from the Public Utilities Commission ensuring their financial and safety fitness. They are subject to criminal background clearance by the California Department of Justice and the FBI.

Insured

A moving company that is insured will compensate you in the event that any items were damaged during the move. There are different methods for repayment, such as base-level or per-pound basis, and for an extra fee, you can often request additional insurance.
These details make all the difference in having your move go smoothly, so when planning a move, ask your potential moving company specific questions. Find out all the information before planning a move. Don’t take chances with your personal belongings. If you are looking for a professional and reputable mover in the California area don’t hesitate to contact All Reasons Moving.
