The difference between asking your friends to help you move vs. hiring professional Vancouver movers is like night and day. The success of moving in Vancouver, BC or elsewhere in Canada is usually defined as getting all of your belongings from your previous residence into your new home in a one day time-frame, without damage to your belongings or either property.
If damaging your furniture and other belongings is a concern, you should never move yourself. Not knowing the proper techniques and the correct angles to use when lifting items and carrying furniture pieces through tight spaces – such as stairways and door frames – usually results in a lot of wasted time with trial and error as well.
Damage is the most common result when managing your own move, and if you are not fine with your items or your home being damaged, this is not the route to take. Our professional Vancouver movers are trained experts in techniques specific to every piece of furniture they encounter (and every environment), and that level of expertise comes only after several years in the industry.
As far as budget is concerned, remember that moving yourself is far from cost-prohibitive. Your main expense will be renting a moving truck and any equipment necessary to complete the move. When done properly, completing a move in Vancouver, BC or elsewhere in Canada requires not only a truck but also several moving dollies, 80-100 professional-grade moving blankets, tie down straps, shrink-wrap, mattress covers, wardrobe boxes, and tools, all of which will need to be purchased or rented.
While having your friends and family there to help may sound like a great idea, they are as well far from a “free” labour force. In addition to the implied obligation to provide food and refreshments during the moving process, most people will also feel compelled to entertain the people who are helping out during the process and provide dinner (and possibly drinks) afterward. Add up all of these factors with the financial cost related to repairing damages, and your labour force is not as cheap as you thought.
As a conclusion – your time, money, and energy are all very valuable, and hiring professional Vancouver, BC movers often saves you all three.
