Planning a move…did you create a budget?
Have you considered how much it takes to move? Planning a moving budget should be the first step towards planning a move. I usually recommend requesting a few quotes to find the going rates of movers in Nashville. Once you’ve narrowed those down to the best three, determine what you’re willing to spend on a move of this nature. Make certain you add in cost for everything associated with your move. Consider the cost it will take for travel, if out of town, moving supplies, deposits for utilities, etc. On another note, some moving expenses are tax deductible, so keep your receipts!

If you’re like me, you hate to pack. If there was some “I dream of genie” way I could blink and cause everything to jump into boxes I would do it every time. There’s the labeling, the proper padding…you get the picture. But in retrospect, unpacking can be equally challenging. Unpacking all of those clothes, dishes, accessories and placing them in their proper place could take weeks. On my next move, I’m going full service. It’s my form of the “I dream of genie” packing method. My Nashville movers will arrive to wrap, pack, load, unload and unpack my items. No more jumping hurdles for me! Share with me your packing and unpacking challenges.

When it comes to moving your valuables its really crucial you hire a moving company that employs full-time movers and not day laborers. Some Nashville movers are prone to engage in this type of activity when overwhelmed with business. However, hiring a skilled professional is what consumers expect when contacting a reputable Nashville moving company. Day laborers don’t represent the cream-of-the-crop in the moving industry and as a result could damage your property. Do your research. When hiring a moving company ask if their movers are full-time. You can also check their industry affiliations, as certain organizations have strict guidelines movers must follow.

Often people with busy schedules during the week pick the weekend to make a move of any kind. Therefore, weekend moves in Nashville are somewhat hectic. Believe or not, with some Nashville moving companies the closer you get to the weekend the higher the hourly moving rate. I always recommend moving between Monday and Wednesday if possible. These days are usually slower and provide great savings. When calling to receive a moving quote simply ask the rate for the weekend and compare it with an early weekday rate. In some instances it’s worth taking off a weekday to save money.

Did you just complete a move in Nashville? Well, on this Earth Day, consider recycling your moving boxes. There are all sorts of things you can do with your boxes. My family and I have used them for school projects, home projects and more. Instead of discarding your moving boxes ,find good use for them around the home. Your packing paper can be re-purposed as well. Use your packing paper for lining your cabinets, wrapping items for shipping and more. Find ways to recycle items from your recent move. Give it some thought…let me know what you come up with so I can share with others.

Do you have an upcoming move? The question regarding moving insurance is quite common.  Moving companies in Nashville provide a basic amount of coverage per pound for each furniture piece. If your move in Nashville is a rather small move, additional coverage may be unwarranted. However, if you are concerned about receiving full replacement value for your belongings it might be a good idea to add additional covereage for your upcoming move. Your Nashville mover can provide you with a preferred vendor or you can secure your own moving insurance through your home owner’s insurance or rental insurance company. Securing full replacement value for your furnishings requires up-front payment for the insurance prior to the move. There is no fee for basic coverage provided by your Nashville mover. Weigh your options and make a decision that best suits your needs.

Timing is everything. Every Nashville mover is not the same, but hopefully you pick the right one. Keeping in mind most local Nashville movers charge an hourly rate, you need them to move fast and carefully. On average it should take your movers an hour per fully furnished room. You can help with the process. When you pack make sure you properly label your items and place them in a central location. If you’re not interested in the break-down and set-up services your Nashville mover provides, you and your family can disassemble and reassemble your furniture as well. All of this preparation cuts down on costs, thus saving you money in the end.

Nevertheless, a professional Nashville moving company can handle all of these items for you in a swift fashion. If it appears time is being elongated by your moving crew, contact the office. As you estimate your move cost take into consideration the size of your home and the number of rooms associated with your move.
