22 Jan What to Look for in a Brooklyn Moving Company

Brooklyn Moving Company

Moving is something no one really looks forward to. It’s just one of those realities of life. Sometimes it just can’t be avoided; you outgrew your old home, or you need to relocate for whatever reason… To top the stress of moving, moving in Brooklyn can be just a bit more stressful. With city congestion, lack of space in front of your apartment or home and often no driveway for a moving truck to pull into. These can definitely add to the stress of moving.

With all that said, if you’re moving, even in Brooklyn, it doesn’t have to be all that bad. There’s a way to greatly reduce the stress and make your move in Brooklyn a smooth one.

A big part in reducing the stress of your Brooklyn move is choosing the right Brooklyn moving company. Knowing what to look for in a Brooklyn moving company can be the key to a stress-less move.

As usual, Reputable Moving is here to take the stress out of you move by telling you the most important factors to look for when choosing a Brooklyn moving company.

1. Referrals:

Since you’re looking for a Brooklyn moving company, one of the most populated areas in New York, there will be dozens of Brooklyn moving companies to choose from. However, not all of them were created equal. The only way to know if a company is truly one you would want to entrust all of your possessions with, it’s important to get referrals from friends or family who used them in the past. First hand information on a Brooklyn moving company is priceless. If you have good referrals about a reliable Brooklyn moving company, that was punctual, responsible, and efficient, that might be a good choice for you to pick.

2. Experience:

Moving takes skill in knowing how to maneuver furniture and large boxes through doorways and staircases. Brooklyn moving companies have to be even more skilled at this, being that Brooklyn homes often have very narrow doorways, staircases, as well as alleyways and driveways (if there is one all together). Make sure the Brooklyn moving company you choose has plenty of experience with moving in Brooklyn. This will ensure that they won’t have difficulty moving your possessions and possibly damage the furniture and/or walls of your home as they maneuver your furniture through narrow spaces. It will also guarantee that they will know how to deal with the lack of space in front of your home when they arrive. They will know where to place their truck so that they don’t block the entire street while still being close enough to the house so that they can load the truck with your possession. Instead, they’ll be armed with plenty of experience and in turn, the fine skill of Brooklyn moving.

3. Licensed and Insured:

With Brooklyn congestion, choosing a Brooklyn moving company that’s licensed and insured is all that much more important. With very little space to move items through, there’s that much more room (no pun intended:)) for damage or injury. That’s why, as much as it’s always important for a moving company to be licensed and insured, with a Brooklyn moving company, it’s imperative.

4. Contact and Communication:

Once you got referrals for a specific Brooklyn moving company, ensured that they have experience with Brooklyn moving and that they are licensed and insured, give them a call. Then pay close attention to their response. If you left them a message or sent an email, did they return your call or email in a timely fashion? Do they take interest in your move? Do they ask questions that indicate that they know what they are doing when it comes to moving a home? Are they polite and decent or are they rude and impatient? How a company communicates can be very indicative as to how they operate as a company in general. Paying attention to this is important. If it takes them a long time to get back to you, or they show no knowledge of moving expertise by asking no relevant questions, they may not be the Brooklyn moving company you want to hire for your move.

So if you’ve decided to move in Brooklyn, looking for a top notch Brooklyn moving company is your first priority. After all, it’s your first step in your moving process. However, don’t rush into it because this can be the key to a successful, stress-less move. Take the time to do your homework and choose a reliable Brooklyn moving company like Reputable Moving, to take the stress out of your move.
