5 Reasons to Hire a Full-Service Moving Company

#1 Limit Damage to Your Furniture & Belongings

A full-service moving company protects your furniture and belongings in transit. Packing and moving your heavy or fragile items is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Additionally, it can be too easy to damage the walls and floors in your home as you move things in and out.

Working with a professional moving company can alleviate your responsibility (during a hectic time!) and give you peace of mind that your belongings will receive the care they deserve.

At Charlottesville Moving Solutions, our movers attend training sessions, including packing and moving our training house, a virtual residence located in our warehouse. The CMS training house includes everything movers encounter during an actual move: dishes, photos, lamps, antiques, and major appliances. Our professional movers s can help ensure that your heavy and fragile items are packed appropriately and handled with care!

#2 Save Time by Moving Faster and More Efficiently

Hiring a full-service moving company can also save you time. An organized team of professional, well-trained movers can complete your move in less time – allowing you to get settled in your new home sooner!

At CMS, we calculate our local moves on the number of movers and the truck capacity. We account for these hours from the time the movers leave our office until they return. We work efficiently to ensure that the estimate we provided for your local move is accurate, so you can be sure that your move won’t take longer than expected.

With a professional moving company, you’ll have a better idea of when all your belongings will be unloaded in your new home, allowing you to plan your unpacking process accordingly. Some moving companies (like us!) also offer packing services, saving you time at the beginning of your move! A quick note about our packing services: We’ll help you pack almost everything; however, we do not pack or move jewelry, silverware, money, keys, flammables, or guns. 

#3 Streamline Your Long-Distance Move

Moving out of state or across the country can be stressful, especially when transporting your belongings. Hiring a professional moving company can make this process safer, easier, and more convenient for your family.

We offer dedicated vehicles and direct delivery to your new home seven days a week. Your belongings are the only items on the truck - ensuring no risk of commingling shipments or losing your items. Plus, the movers that load your belongings will be the same crew that unloads the items at your new home. With CMS, you won’t have to wait around for the moving truck or wonder where your belongings are!  

#4 Get Access to Safe, Climate-Controlled Storage

If there’s a gap between your move-out and move-in dates, you might need to store your belongings. We offer climate-controlled storage if you need it. You can be confident that your belongings won’t be lost, damaged, or stolen.

We can store your items until you’re ready and deliver with just a phone call. Your upholstered furniture will be shrink-wrapped and placed on sofa racks to avoid damage to the fabric. All items are inventoried and separated from other shipments to ensure that your belongings are kept separate and secure. Our climate-controlled storage is fully secured and camera-monitored.

#5 Prevent Injuries and Accidents 

Lifting items like heavy furniture and boxes can lead to injury, and a full day of repetitive lifting can leave you feeling extremely sore. Hiring a moving company can help prevent the physical strain that moving can take on the body. At CMS, we reward our moving teams with good pay and extensive training to help reduce injury. Leave the lifting to us!
