Questions to Ask Your Movers Before Hiring Them

Before you begin your move to Charleston, there a few questions to ask your movers. We’ve created a guide to help you avoid scams and other problems that may arise upon hiring and utilizing a professional moving company.

Do you have any experience?

When you begin the search for a professional moving company, you’re bound to find hundreds of options in your local area. One of the first questions to ask your movers is: do you have any experience? For example, if you are moving to a residential area that’s gated, has the movers ever been there before? If you are moving into a high-rise apartment, what is their experience with handling stairs or elevators like? All My Sons is a full-service moving company – we can handle anything from residential, local, long-distance, and even cars. We have decades of experiencing under our belt.

Do you have liability coverage?

Before you move to Charleston and give a complete stranger complete care over your valuables, it is important you discuss with your professional moving company what coverage they have. Different types of coverage are offered through our Charleston local movers that can best fit your needs and budgets. It is also important ask your movers for proof of their insurance. Scams and non-legitimate companies will refuse to show documentations. This is a great way to determine if a company is professional or not. A legitimate company will be able to give you proof of the insurance they have and can show any documents when asked.

Will I find positive reviews online?

This is where you might need to do some homework before hiring a moving company. It is always best to search and look up reviews on the company you are going to hire. You can also ask your friends and family for referrals. You wouldn’t invest in something without asking others first right? The same rule applies here before your move to Charleston.

How much is this going to cost? Do you provide estimates?

One of the greatest things about our Charleston local movers is the fact we provide our customers with a free, no-obligation quote on how much everything is going to cost. Other companies may not provide the same privilege, and you can be situated with a bill that reflects something completely different than what you expected. Our team of professionals can also come to your home or office to talk extras, such as stairs, travel time, long-distance, and more. Everything from the beginning should be planned out in writing beforehand. It’s important to get a copy of these prices and extras in writing. This way, a moving company can’t say you owe extra.

There are still more questions to ask your movers before hiring them, like what form of payment do you accept? Is there a cancellation policy? How long does everything take from start to finish?
