There’s no mystery to making an estimate for an interstate or local residential move, but this expense must be calculated in a precise and objective way. It’s very important for you to understand what makes up your estimate.     

Therefore, it is normally important that a survey be made to establish the volume and the means of access. Based on this information, the moving company has the data necessary to calculate the expected cost of the move. Some important data are:  

● Distance between origin and destination; 

● Amount and size of furniture;  

● Amount of appliances; 

● Detailing of fragile / valuable items ;

● Facility / difficulty of access in both locations; 

● Amount and type of packing material, as well as the vehicles needed for transportation;   

● Size of the team needed to execute the move, as well as the number of days needed to pack, transport and deliver the move. 

Besides these topics, other more peculiar ones, depending on each case, are also evaluated in the estimate, and for this reason these estimates have very specific profiles. The estimate must be made by skilled and experienced professionals through a technical survey visit, personal or virtual.   

At the end of the day, in order to know how much a residential move costs, a professional evaluation is necessary, so it’s important to count on experienced and trustworthy companies during the process, because moving to a different city is an important plan for the whole family.

Moving house, in itself, demands special preparations for the family, but, when the task is moving to another city or another state, this preparation and planning becomes even more important. We’ve prepared a few topics that must be included in your checklist: 

Subscription services. Arrange beforehand the cancellation of subscription services, such as cable TV, internet and telephone. It is important, as well, not to forget hiring the same services after arriving in the new city. Research and planning will save you a lot of headaches.  

Visit the new city one or more times before you move. Being well acquainted with your new dwelling place will make the adaptation much easier for the family. The main avenues, the traffic at important times, supermarkets and drugstores, as well as restaurants and schools are items that must be part of this important field checklist. 

Make a detailed checklist of all you’ll need (and won’t need) to take. This step will be a big help in the general planning and also in the budget of your move. It’s time to let go of objects that no longer make sense to you, it’s a great opportunity to send a few belongings to charities. 

Goods that are more valuable, either sentimentally or financially, should be listed very carefully so that they receive special treatment when they are being packed. Jewelry, documents, passports and other personal and irreplaceable items should be carried by you.   

Pets are part of the family. Just like the other members of the family, pets also deserve a safe and comfortable trip. Don’t forget to make an appointment at the vet’s before moving day, to get advice.   

Hire an experienced moving company. Moving to a different city, whether it be an intercity move or an interstate move, is an important mission, but it needn’t be either complicated or exhausting for you and your family. For that, it is fundamental to count on a specialized company.
