Hiring a moving company in DC can make your move a lot easier as you do not have to worry about transporting your possessions from your old home to your new one. Accounting for the traffic and some of the tight streets, it can be difficult and costly to do a big move on your own. The issue with hiring just any moving company is that not all moving companies are reliable or reputable. This is why you need to know how to choose a reliable moving company. As a moving company who has been in business for over 7 years, here are a few of our top recommendations to ensure you have a hitch-free move.

 

When you hire a local moving company, you will avoid the risks of being tricked into working with an unscrupulous mover. There are many of these scam moving companies that work only on the internet and will try to trick you out of your money. If you hire a local mover, you will be able to visit the company’s office and check the equipment that they have. You will also be able to verify that they are a real company and not someone who is trying to make a quick buck.

You should never hire the first reputable mover that you come across because they may not be the best one for your needs. It is recommended that you get at least 3 estimates from different companies. These estimates should be given to you in writing to ensure that you are able to compare them.

You need to avoid any companies that offer you very low estimates because they could be cutting corners in terms of safety. You should also avoid any companies that only provide estimates over the phone or online without any scope of the job. A detailed estimate is important because you will be able to see where the money is going and if they are going to be offering you something that other companies do not.

If you are going to be moving between states, the mover that you use must have a number issued by the Department of Transportation. This will work as a license which identifies which identified all commercial vehicles which transport cargo or people cross state lines. If the mover you want to use is licensed, this should be a DOT number that you will be able to verify. The mover you use should also have a carrier number provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

If you are moving within your state, the requirements will vary depending on the state. There are some states where movers will not be regulated if they do not leave state lines. However, there are 33 states that require all in-state moving companies to have a DOT number. It is important that you check the requirements for your state and ensure that the movers you use adhere to them. You can check here

The best way to determine the quality of a company is to read reviews and complaints. Seeing what other customers have to say will give you an idea about the service the company will provide to you. You should also check if any complaints have been made to the BBB and look at the letter grade that the company has with them.
