Get matched with top movers in Hickory, KY

Q: Is it better to hire movers or move by myself?

• <div><p>You should consider hiring professional movers for moves that seem too daunting, dangerous, or involve large, heavy objects. The larger your home and the longer the distance, the more likely you are to need professional help. A moving service can take the hardest tasks off your plate and reduce the risk of personal injury. However, if you are only moving a few light items, you can save money by moving on your own and renting a truck. Keep in mind that a DIY move requires significant planning and time. A hybrid option is also available, where you hire movers just to lift and transport heavy items to your vehicle.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a dolly to move a washer and dryer?

• <div><p>Yes, you&rsquo;ll need a dolly to move a washer or dryer. These appliances are extremely heavy and cumbersome. A dolly and heavy-duty straps will streamline the moving process and reduce the chances of an accidental injury. As a bonus, a dolly helps protect your flooring from scratches that can occur during the moving process.</p></div>

Q: Do I need permits when moving across the country?

• <div><p>If you are hiring professional movers, their company will handle any permits and similar arrangements. But if you are renting a truck to move yourself, you may have to pay permits when moving across state lines or away from a specific city or town. Research your move and its requirements as you plan. Most states, cities, and even rental companies offer useful information about what permits you may need.</p></div>

Q: How difficult is it to move a washer and dryer?

• <div><p>Moving a washer and dryer can be difficult due to the appliances&rsquo; weight and size. If you need to move these appliances up or down stairs, then it will be more challenging. It also depends on the type of dryer you have, as a gas dryer is more complicated to disconnect than an electric dryer. The difficulty of the task also depends on whether you&rsquo;re easily wheeling the washer and dryer up a moving truck&rsquo;s loading ramp or lifting them yourself. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to transport plants when moving?

• <div><p>The best way to transport plants when moving is to prep them properly, cover the soil, pack them tightly in boxes, and take extra precautions depending on state plant regulations, weather, and distance. You should be sure to fill in the gaps around your plants to minimize movement during transit and plan to unpack them shortly after arriving at your destination. </p></div>
