5 Reasons To Consider Hiring Movers For Short-Distance Moves

December 2, 2024 · One of the Guys · movers

Making a short-distance move to a new home or business location may seem like a doable DIY project. However, many home and business owners learn the hard way that even short-distance moves are not free of risks or frustrations.

Dedicated and experienced short-distance movers offer home and business owners the opportunity to move without stress, to guarantee the safety of their belongings, and leave the heavy lifting to the professionals (literally).

If you are a home or business owner wondering if it’s worth it to hire movers for short-distance relocations, consider these 5 benefits of getting professional help from a well-rated moving service.

1. Guarantee Item Safety

Moving oversized, antique, fragile, and valuable belongings is often easier said than done. Many home and business owners lack the knowledge to pack these items properly, and even over short-distance moves, a lot can happen to decrease their value.

High quality short-distance movers provide expert packing, loading, transporting, and unloading services to help home and business owners protect their valuable belongings. They bring extensive experience in transporting antique and oversized items to make sure their clients receive a premium service, regardless of their needs.

2. Relieve Stress and Pain

Moving can be stressful, but many home and business owners fail to realize that it can also be painful. Moving oversized, awkward, and heavy items such as boxes of books, furniture, and even kitchenware can be a deceptively simple task. It’s easy to throw your back out, pull a muscle, or drop a heavy item on your foot without the experience in maneuvering these pieces out of homes or businesses and onto transport vehicles.

Hiring movers for short-distance relocations may seem luxurious, but they can help relieve stress and possibly save you from costly injuries by bringing the tools and expertise needed to pack and move everything safely. This gives you more time and energy to focus on the important tasks of organizing, unpacking, and settling in.

3. Save Time

Speaking of time and energy, even short-distance moves can be surprisingly time-consuming considering that the packing and loading process is the same as it is for a long-distance move. With so much to do, you may fall behind on other important tasks with your job, family, or business.

Consider that with a professional moving company’s help, a three-bedroom home can take 6-7 hours to move. Now, imagine what that time would be doing it on your own without the tools and skills of professional short-distance movers.

With professional moving services, you can save time and stress at every stage of the move. Instead of worrying about the timeline, you can focus on getting yourself and/or your family to your new destination.

4. Save Effort

Self-moving a home or business requires a lot of effort, often from friends and family who have to sacrifice their day to help you move. You have to set a date, take time off from work, or take more time from the business, and more to make the move. This time must account for your preparations such as sorting, disassembly, packing, labeling, loading and unloading. 

Hiring movers for short-distance relocations doesn’t require that effort. Professional movers can be there at the appointed time in a single phone call. They can handle everything required without any further input from you, if that’s how you prefer it.

Best of all, you don’t have to enlist your friends and family to carry your boxes into your home before it’s ready to impress and entertain them. Showing off a new house to friends and family only feels amazing if they haven’t already seen it at its worst. With professional movers on your side, you can let your friends and family be pleasantly surprised when they finally see your new home at its best.

5. Access Professional Resources

Professional moving services provide their trucks, moving tools, and even secure storage facilities to make sure their clients have the space they need to relocate without leaving anything behind. In many cases, a new location will have a different storage capacity.

Rather than stress about overflow and trying to clean en route to the new location, moving service storage facilities give you the chance to set the extra belongings aside while you deal with more pressing matters.

The right service offers a customizable moving plan for each individual’s needs. Homeowners, business owners, seniors, service members, and more need moving services that can work with their schedules, handle their items with care, and clearly communicate throughout the process.
