Compare DIY Moving VS Hiring Professional Moving and Storage Companies in Asheville, NC & Surrounding Areas

When planning your move, the inevitable question of, “Can I move by myself, or do I need a professional moving and storage company?” is bound to come up. As you explore your options, it’s good to think about the pros and cons of each possibility. The professional movers at Gasperson Moving & Storage in Asheville, NC have provided the following tips.

 

DIY Moving

Moving on your own can be exciting—you can plan exactly when and how you want to move and do it all on your own energy, resources, and time. But, once you begin packing you must know what truck to rent and more, the cost adds up in the hours this takes and what size and type of truck you’ll rent. If friends and family help you move, will you pay them or buy them snacks and water too? The expenses may add up as it takes a long time to move on your own. If you are not organized and careful, the risk of injury and lost time is great.

  • Pros – Do it yourself, on your own time and schedule, and be completely in control.
  • Cons – Much more work and stress, a risk of injury, and could take a longer to complete.

 

Professional Moving and Storage

Professional moving and storage companies are designed to save you the time and hassle during a move. Professional moving and storage services offer full-service or partial moves. A full-service move will make your move effortless as they pack, pick up, optionally store, deliver, unpack, disassemble/ assemble your belongings, furniture and more. Movers use only new and standard boxes and material to pack, and your move will be organized and completed for you. Along with these services, additional charges come with special services and gratuity is charged as well as tips for the movers and drivers can add up as well.

  • Pros – Full-service movers, low risk, and save time.
  • Cons – Expenses, less control of schedule, tips and gratuity charges.

A DIY move might be exciting versus hiring a professional moving and storage company, but the risks can be high. Take these tips into account as you plan your move. We recommend a moving and storage solution that is stress-free for our customers.
