Q: When should I start preparing for movers?

• <div><p>You can&rsquo;t start preparing for movers too soon. Some steps, like scheduling the movers and arranging for pet care, need to happen months ahead to fit into busy schedules, especially if you&rsquo;re moving during on-season. </p><p>Several weeks ahead of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-consider-when-planning-your-moving-date.htm">moving date</a>, start packing lesser-used rooms and supplies. As the moving day gets closer, move your packing toward more and more essential rooms until only a few necessities are left on the day ahead of the move.</p></div>

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 I need to pack everything in my home and move it separately?

• <div><p>Surprisingly, no! For most house moves, you can keep everything inside as is, although we&rsquo;d recommend taking out any sentimental or extremely fragile items. You&rsquo;ll need to fully empty your basement or crawl space, but otherwise, your home can be moved with everything intact. Your movers will also be able to provide you with further guidance. </p></div>

Q: Can a pool table be moved without taking it apart?

• <div><p>You can move a pool table without taking it apart only if you&rsquo;re moving it a short distance, like from one room to another, and with the help of several people or a professional moving company. But if you&rsquo;re moving the pool table from one home to another, experts strongly advise you not to move it without taking it apart. If you leave it in one piece, you could risk not only your own personal safety, but also risk damage to the pool table itself. The bumpers could need to be realigned and the slate may have to be re-leveled if you try to move a pool table without taking it apart. In this case, the risk usually doesn&rsquo;t outweigh the reward. </p></div>

Q: Should you tip movers?

• <div><p>Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.</p></div>
