One of the most important factors in a seamless, stress-free move is to avoid any surprises or unplanned issues on moving day. For top movers, talking to the customers before the move often ensures these issues are discussed in advance, allowing for the correct planning, crews, and equipment to be available on moving day.
To help the Knoxville moving company in preparing for the move, there are four different factors customers should know. Providing this information when booking the move and during the survey for the move will be essential in getting an accurate move estimate.
Date and Location
Knowing the dates of the move out as well as the move in will be important, as will the specific location of the move. However, if you know the city but not the specific address, it is advisable to book early to ensure the company can provide the move on those dates.
Stairs
For both local and long distance moving, stairs can create an additional consideration for movers, particularly if there are multiple flights or if the stairs are particularly narrow or difficult to navigate.
Elevators
Apartments and condos often have several floors, and they typically require booking the freight elevator or using designated elevators for the move. Talking with the Knoxville building supervisor as well as the building manager at the destination will be important to coordinate move times.
Proximity of Parking
While most buildings will be easy to access, there are areas in most cities where it is difficult for moving trucks to get close to the residence. When there will be a long distance between the truck and the building, it is very helpful for the movers to know in advance.
When booking the move, it is also helpful to note any large, heavy or unusual items. This will allow the moving crew to have the necessary materials and supplies for safe packing and moving of the items.
