When moving your home or business to a new location, you have many things to consider. One is whether you should hire movers or do it yourself. The truth is, there are pros and cons to both. At Robb & Messer Moving and Storage, we want you to make the best decision based on your circumstances, whether moving into the Bay Area or away from our fine cities. We invite you to help us show you the pros and cons of moving yourself vs. hiring movers.

Hiring Pros Will Save You the Backache

For some people, the primary deciding factor in tackling moving yourself vs. hiring movers is the heavy lifting involved with a move. For some, it’s endless boxes of various sizes and cumbersome furniture. If you’re not used to doing it, it can leave you with significant back pain.

Therefore, as one definite pro, hiring someone else to do the heavy lifting will ensure you don’t have to worry about injuring yourself. If you hire a full-service moving company, our team will take care of the heavy lifting for you as professionals in the business.

Looking for Truck Rentals

If you’re moving from one part of Orange County to another, it may be acceptable to make multiple trips. This could depend on your source of transportation and how much you must move, but it is doable.

However, if you’re moving several hours or days from where you are right now, it could be a bonus to make one trip. This can be done by booking a box truck in advance. With so many sizes there, it can be not easy trying to figure out the right truck, looking for the most affordable deals, and making sure all your items will fit in one move. This is twice as hard if it’s your first time making a move.

Fortunately, a moving company can ensure you have that luxury.

How do you feel about driving endless hours? This could be another reason to hire a professional moving company. Going across California or past state lines can be challenging for anyone who doesn’t make that trip often, and even more so when an entire family is involved.

At Robb & Messer Moving and Storage, we also include storage options. If your new space is still being prepared for all your items, we’ll hold them ready in a storage vault for you and your family. Many of our customers have reported that this has taken some of the pressure off during a move, as they don’t immediately have to find where their furniture will sit.

Packing Your Belongings Can be Time-Consuming

When deciding which is best, moving yourself vs. hiring movers, you may have concerns about your most valuable items. Whether you choose to pack everything yourself or go with our team, we’ll make sure your items are kept in good hands.

Our team has years of experience packing and moving mirrors, fine china, and electronics like flatscreen TV’s just to name a few. They’ll label each box with the room contents after packing it completely full and make sure everything arrives at its destination just the way it was at your original home.

They also take care of it quickly; within a few hours, an entire home can be packed and ready for moving day. For most homeowners, packing everything properly can take days or weeks. So if you want to save yourself even more hassle, speak with us to see what our team can do to make your move easier for you.
