Q: What should I consider when planning a DIY move?

• <div><p>When moving yourself, you should consider the non-monetary costs, such as time spent and physical and mental stress. If you&rsquo;re packing and moving every box on your own, or with the help of a few volunteers, you can expect the process to take several days or even weeks. While it&rsquo;s a less expensive option than hiring full-service movers, keep in mind that the process will be much more difficult.</p></div>

Q: Why do movers wrap furniture in plastic?

• <div><p>Movers wrap furniture in plastic to provide protection during transportation or storage. Plastic wrap acts as a barrier, safeguarding furniture from dust, dirt, moisture, and potential scratches or damage. It helps to keep upholstery, wood, or delicate surfaces intact, preventing wear and tear during the moving process. Additionally, plastic wrap helps to secure loose components of furniture, such as drawers or doors, reducing the risk of breakage.</p></div>

Q: Are there hidden costs when hiring a moving company?

• <div><p>Yes, there are sometimes hidden costs when hiring a moving company. These can include <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-packers-moving.htm">fees for packing</a>, handling, and assembling specific large items, fees for packing materials used, and charges for trips over a certain mileage. To avoid hidden fees, always request a detailed quote before booking or paying a deposit. </p></div>

I've used this company for roofing as well as interior flooring. Cannot recommend enough. The only problem I have is after we move to Staunton VA next year I'll be too far to use them any more.

Shampoo carpet for pet urine smell. Smell is greatly improved - would probably take two shampoos to remove entirely. Not the fault of the company though. My only beef is that sehyo showed up an hour early and did not move the couch, to get under the couch, as asked.
