3 Things To Consider When Hiring A Moving Company

There are many very important things for you to consider before actually hiring a phoenix moving company to transport your belongings into your new home. After all, you don’t want to let any random company move your personal private possessions without knowing if they are legitimate and have the skill to take on the job. There are many different ways to find out if you are making a good decision when hiring a certain company, allowing you to feel safe throughout the move that your personal items are in good hands.

One thing is to make sure they are certified with their state as a moving company. This will tell you that they have a clean slate and haven’t been in trouble for overcharging or lying to their customers, a charge in which many non-legitimate companies will be guilty of. It pays to do research on your potential moving companies in order to receive the best service possible.

Another piece of pertinent information is whether or not they’ll have adequate supplies and materials to be able to pack up your belongings safely and securely. For instance, if you have a lot of class, they will need very thick pads to go around the glass in order to protect it from shattering on the trip in the moving truck. Not only will these pads be able to protect your glass, but they will also be needed to drape around other wooden objects to prevent them from becoming scratched and damaged up themselves.

And thirdly, you should also consider the size of your objects and whether not you can take them yourself or if it would be wiser to just hire a company. If you only need small objects moved and they can easily fit near car, you should highly consider doing it yourself in order to save money. Leaving the large objects up to a moving company is definitely something that happens quite a bit and is highly recommended if you’re looking to save money.

Moving To A New House in Phoenix, Consider A Wall Bracket!

If you have purchased a new plasma television then it is time to consider where to put the new television. If the room it is going into is small then you will also want to consider the purchase of a plasma wall bracket. Mounting the new LCD television on a sturdy plasma wall mount bracket is the most innovative way to install and view your new television set. The new television and wall mount brackets can be color matched to the existing furniture in the room so it will only enhance the beauty of the room’s existing decor.

Plasma tv wall brackets are not only innovative and stylish but they are a very convenient way to position the new LCD or plasma television in a place where it can be seen by all. They are also known for being great space savers and the best part is they are fairly inexpensive. The installation of a LCD plasma wall bracket is simple enough that it can be done by anyone. All that is done is the wall bracket is attached to a stud found behind a sturdy wall and with the help of someone else the television is attached directly to the bracket.

If the television needs to be viewed from several different directions then the best plasma wall bracket to purchase is one with a tilting mechanism. Due to the growing popularity of the new flat screen televisions the wall mounting bracket kits are gaining popularity as well. Wall mount brackets can be found in several different shapes, models, sizes and also come with add ons or simple wall fixtures. The more complex the wall bracket mounting set up the more expensive it will be. The name of the manufacturer will also determine the cost of the wall mounting bracket kit.

Phoenix Movers Spotlight: Alliance Moving & Storage

Today I am spotlighting a company called Alliance Professional Moving & Storage.  They are a company based out of Phoenix that offers everything from across-town moves to cross-country moves.  Originating in Phoenix, they have been in the moving business for around 12 years.  Alliance Professional Moving & Storage uses services from both Brothers Moving and Pride Moving.

As far as services go, Alliance offers to pack your things for an additional cost.  They also offer to move large and fragile items like pianos and antiques.  If you need boxes and moving supplies, they can deliver those to your home for a price of $100.

I had the pleasure of talking to one of Alliance’s sales representatives and getting some information on their company.  I asked what the easiest way would be to get a bid from Alliance, and he said the easiest way would be to have a sales representative come out to your home free of charge and assess what you need moved.  There is an online bidding option through their website, but this representative said that making a house visit is the most helpful because homeowners have so many questions about their particular move.  Because I’m not actually moving soon, I went ahead and got a quote from their website.  I said there were 3 furnished bedrooms, a garage, a family room, a living room, and an office.  The total price came out to be $792.

I also asked about any guarantees the company gives should something happen to items that are moved.  He said that Alliance offers to customers a Full Value Protection Plan that can either be priced at .60 cents per pound per article, or an overall price that can be quoted when the sales representative comes to your home.

Alliance Professional Moving & Storage prides themselves as the only company in Phoenix to be a member of the Arizona Green Chamber of Commerce.  This company also has received an “A” rating from the BBB.  All of their employees must pass a background check.

Overall, I’ve been impressed with this company.  The man I talked with on the phone was professional, and I wouldn’t mind him coming to my home to give me a bid.  For my personal budget, $792 is a little pricey.  If I were moving at this time, I would probably get other bids and keep Alliance Moving & Storage in mind. So that’s my evaluation.  Take it or leave it!
