Why Hire
Movers? |
Hiring professional movers may seem an unnecessary
expense, especially if you are moving a studio or one-bedroom apartment.
You could just ask your friend with the pickup to give you a hand. But
price isn't the whole story. If you look at cost vs. value, you may see
that it's actually cheaper to hire professionals than to do it
yourself.

Usually you're going to
rent a truck. You've also got to rent blankets and a handtruck, as
well as buy tape, shrink wrap, and possibly rope or cargo straps to
restrain the load. |

Local: You rent the truck. Period. We supply
everything else.
Non-local: You rent the truck and supply
blankets and load restraint. |

You've got to get at
least one other person to commit a few hours to your move: not
always an easy thing. And you've got to hope your volunteers show up
on time, and will stay for the whole job. |

Once we've agreed
to a contract, we'll be at the job early with the specified men and
equipment. We will not leave until the job is complete to your
satisfaction. We will almost certainly be able to complete the job
faster than folks who don't move for a living. On jobs shorter than
four or five hours, we don't take breaks, so you're not paying for
people to stand around. |

Friends certainly mean
well, but may not always know the best way to move things. Stuff
gets dropped, walls may be dinged, floors scratched. Suddenly the
'cheap' move gets a lot more expensive. |

We do this every
single day. We have techniques and equipment to move even the most
awkward items safely and efficiently. No matter the situation, odds
are we've seen it several times. Packing a truck efficiently is much
easier when you do it on a regular basis. It's easier to make one
trip with a well-packed load than two trips poorly packed.

If something gets
dropped or broken, or walls or floors are damaged, it's going to be
awkward asking your friends to pay for it. And what if someone gets
hurt? |
|
|
| Beaver Moving |
We carry a
$10,000 bond as surety against damage. Because we make a living
moving, we're careful to do our job safely, both for ourselves and
your belongings. |
In many cases, it's much more cost-effective to
hire professional movers than to have a few friends over for beer and
pizza with a side of carrying stuff around. We can do the job faster, more
efficiently, and more safely than your friends. In addition, you don't
have to do anything but watch us work, and your friendships remain
intact. Isn't it worth it?
