Moving and Storage Tips on How Much It Costs to Hire Professional Movers in Asheville, NC & Surrounding Areas

The price of your move and hiring professional movers is essential to planning out your upcoming move. Knowing the price to expect will allow you to start budgeting for your move, choosing your professional movers, and you will be able to set that moving day date. Gasperson Moving & Storage provides information on how much it costs and what effects the price of hiring professional movers.

 

Stipulations of Price

There are many factors that affect the price of your move. Local moves are usually $50.00 an hour. If you are moving a 2-bedroom home that takes 5-6 hours, you can expect your move to cost $750.00 to $900.00. This same move at a cross-country distance can cost about $3,400 to $4,100.

  • The weight of items being moved.
  • The size of your home.
  • Distance of the move.
  • Moving large or specialized items: antiques, piano.
  • Different Moving and Storage Services.

While these prices cover the necessities of a move, there are extra fees involved depending on how your move is completed or handled.

  • Cancellation Fees
  • Extra Stop Charges
  • Disposal Fees
  • Long Distance Carry Fees

Be sure to ask professional movers about these fees and prices during your initial estimate. The estimate is the best time to gather this information and see how you will plan your move.

 

Budgeting Your Move

You can cut costs with these following tips if you are looking to save money while moving.

  • Negotiate a lower price with your professional movers.
  • Pack your own belongings.
  • Do not take everything: donate or throw away items you do not need.

These tips will help you start planning and organizing your moving and storage budget. There are many details to take in and consider, but your move will be well on its way before you know it. Be sure to complete an in-person estimate so movers can see everything you are moving and ask many questions to learn about their charges and extra fees.
