Hire Movers or DIY

If you are considering hiring the top Illinois moving company, you’ve already taken a step in the right direction. You know you’re going to move to Chicago, but you’re only considering Chicago movers. So, should you hire movers? Or should you make the move on your own?

In some cases, a do-it-yourself move may cost close to, if not just as much as or more than what it would to hire professional movers in Chicago. At that point, hiring a mover might be your best bet. First thing you should ask yourself is:

How Big is My Move?

This is a major factor in answering the main question. Sure, our Chicago movers can tackle a move of any size, but what can you handle? If you have a small studio apartment, a couple basic items, and maybe one larger piece of furniture, maybe you can handle the move yourself. A larger studio or a small one-bedroom place, perhaps you can knock out with some friends—for this, you may even need the right tools.

If you’re looking at a multiple-bedroom move, or your small place is packed with tons of stuff—in other words, if you’ve got what equates to a personal library, office, lounge, and sleeping quarters all packed into one—it would be wise to hire a few movers. If you’ve got more than the standard essentials in your home, you’ll likely want to get a hold of our team of Chicago movers.

Do I Have the Right Tools and Equipment?

With a standard toolkit, you should have the capability to take apart and assemble whatever furniture or larger items for your move. You can break down your belongings to save a couple bucks, as it could save some labor hours for your movers, if you decide to hire a team for your move to Chicago. If you’ve got all your boxes, bubble wrap, scissors, markers, labels, packing paper, and everything, you’re good to go. If not, you can always pick up any packing supplies in Chicago from All My Sons! Perhaps you’d like to get the best packing services in Chicago—no sweat, you don’t have to lift a finger, if you don’t want to!

What Can I Afford?

Maybe it seems like doing all the work yourself won’t cost you much at all, but you have to keep in mind the risk! With movers, you don’t have to worry about risking injury to yourself or damage to your belongings. If you get hurt in the moving process doing it yourself, you could land in the hospital and potentially cost yourself more money than you’d like to spend. If, by some stroke of tough luck, you were to damage your belongings during the move, you will be faced with the full cost of repairs or replacement; with movers, this is rare, but since we are licensed and insured, your belongings are covered! You don’t have to worry about much at all!
