How To Find The Right San Francisco Mover

By Olivia Cross


When moving, it is convenient to enlist the services of movers. In order to eliminate problems, San Francisco residents should look for a reputable mover. Most movers abide by the law, but some of them do not. There are some movers that swindle their clients. When enlisting the services of a San Francisco mover, consumers should follow some guidelines.

One of the things that consumers should do is to read customer reviews. They should avoid dealing with companies that have numerous negative reviews. Consumers can also gather information about reputable movers by seeking referrals from relatives, coworkers or friends who have hired a San Francisco moving company recently.

You should also get references from any moving company you speak with. Ask the companies to provide you with a list of 3 or more recent customers from San Francisco. If possible, call the customers and ask them direct questions about the experience they had when using the services of the moving company.

The next step is to request a moving company to send an estimator to your property. The estimator should check all your storage areas including the garage, bookcases, drawers and cupboards. A large component of the price movers charge is based on the weight of the items that a person wants to move. This estimate should be as accurate as possible.

It is also wise to inform the estimators about the conditions at your new home or business premises that can make the moving process more difficult. This could be stairs, elevators or a significant distance from the driveway to the nearest door of your new property. When the estimators are on your property, you should take that opportunity to get more information about the companies they work for. Inquire if the movers are insured, licensed and experienced. You should also confirm that the firms will complete the move themselves, instead of contracting the work to a different mover.

Ideally, San Francisco residents should get estimates from several firms. They should be wary of moving companies that charge significantly lower fees than other movers. This may be an indication the companies do not offer high quality services. After getting some reasonable estimates, consumers may negotiate the fees to find out if they can get a better deal.

If they are asked to make a deposit, consumers should avoid making a very large deposit. Reputable moving firms do not ask for large deposits or cash payments prior to moving items. They usually ask their clients for full payment after they move the items to the destination. People who are relocating should also ask the mover if they will be required to pay any extra fees.

After hiring a mover, consumers should also draft a contract in writing. The contract should contain details about the moving date, the type of belongings that will be moved and any additional fees that the customer may pay. When the moving day comes, consumers should ask the mover to provide them with a copy of its inventory list. They should also provide the firm with detailed directions to their new home or office. It is also essential for consumers to get a phone number that they can call if they need to speak with the movers on the moving day.
