Things You Should Expect from a Moving Company

Professionalism

One of the first things you should expect from a moving company is professionalism and communication regarding your move. A moving company should be deal with issues in a professional manner, they should answer all of your questions and provide you with all the necessary documentation proving they are licensed and insured to handle your move. At All My Sons Moving & Storage, our Charleston movers have all been trained in the art of moving, each mover has also undergone a thorough background check. We take moving seriously and treat our customers as if they were family, making sure to respectfully handle your entire move.

Documentation

You should expect documentation detailing the services you request as well as the cost of these services. Don't fall into the trap of signing documents without first reading and knowing how much you are going to pay for something. A proper moving company will include a breakdown of all the services they will render for your move.Understand the rates and estimates your moving company is charging and don't be afraid to ask questions if you need further clarification. Our Charleston moving company is transparent and will not only offer a free, no-obligation quote, but will gladly clarify any questions you may have about the entire move.

Additional Services

Some moving companies only offer he very basic moving services, loading, transporting, and unloading. As a full-service moving company, however, you can expect additional services that will make your entire moving process less stressful, such as packing services, auto relocations, as well as residential movers for households and commercial movers for businesses. At All My Sons Moving & Storage, our expert movers will pack, unpack, load and unload, and even help you take apart furniture if needed as part of the Charleston packing service with quality packing supplies. We provide a tailored, personalized moving experience that is sure to suit your moving needs.

The American Moving & Storage Association, however, notes that “it is important to understand that packers will never try to determine what is trash or which items should not be packed. They will enter your home and pack it as they find it. It's best, then, that you are ready for their arrival by ensuring that all trash, newspapers, magazines and items for Goodwill that you do not want to move have been removed from your home prior to the day of service. You'll also want to make sure your laundry is clean and removed from the washer and dryer, and that your dishwasher is empty. Remember, packers pack what they see throughout the home so packers will not check the washer, dryer or dishwasher. Lastly, if you intend to take any items with you personally, set aside a room or closet for those items and label that room as “do not pack” or “going with us.”1
