Hiring a moving company ensures a seameless process

Make Sure the Mover is Licensed and Insured

Making sure that you are partnering with a trusted moving company will The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issues a U.S. DOT number to licensed interstate movers. If you’re moving out of state, verify the moving company’s license through the FMCSA’s protectyourmove.gov site and request the company’s U.S. DOT number; you’ll need it if you have to file a claim against the company later. If you’re staying in state, check with your local consumer affairs agency. You can find a list of local agencies through the FMCSA’s contacts database.

Put thought into the heavy appliances you transport

Ask for a business card or pull up the mover’s website and then look up the listed address online or through the phonebook. Make sure the moving company’s address is listed and registered under the company names. Be wary of any address listed under a residential name.

Pack What You Can Yourself

If you’ve got additional funds, low maintenance landscape beds add instant curb appeal to your home.  Make sure to clearly define the space with some type of border, and replace mulch each year, to keep them looking pristine.

Purge what you Don’t need!

For those with extra money to spend, adding a deck, patio, or pergola to an existing patio is the way to go.  Creating a beautiful outdoor space will pay off both by giving your family a place to enjoy the outdoors now, and by netting you a healthy return later.
