We’ve already discussed the importance of locating a reputable local mover a few times in our Alpha Moving and Storage blog. In this new post, we will offer you practical ways to actually locate such a mover and to make sure that it can handle the type of relocation you need.
Checking your Local Listings
When you search for a moving company, the first few results you will see are for local companies. Google provides you with actual addresses and maps of such local businesses, along with reviews, Google + page links and other relevant information. This is a good place in which to start looking for your local mover.
That being said, you still need to be careful and verify that the location and details provided by the moving company are correct.
Getting Local References and Checking for Community Involvement
When asking for references from your moving company, check and see if it can provide you with local references from people from your state, area or city who’ve used their services in the past. Also, a lot of local service providers are involved with local community services, charities and organizations. A socially involved local service provider is exactly what you’re looking for.
Make sure that the local mover you are considering has enough experience with the particular type of local or long distance move you are looking to perform.
If you check for local Google listings, ask for local references and look for local community connections, you are sure to locate an honest local mover that will provide you quality service.
