Get matched with top movers in Shinnston, WV

Q: When should you transfer utilities when moving?

• <div><p>You should transfer utilities at least two weeks before your final move-out date. It is best to schedule the turning off of all utilities 24 hours after your move. Doing so will ensure a smooth transition without any gaps in service while you are still living in the home.</p></div>

Q: What expenses will I have to pay after moving?

• <div><p>Once you complete the moving process, you&rsquo;ll have to transition into paying for your new living expenses, including monthly rent or mortgage payments. You should also consider the cost of property taxes, utilities, and new furnishings for your home.</p></div>

Q: How should I budget for a long-distance move?

• <div><p>Knowing how much a typical long-distance move will cost is the first step in the budgeting process. Start by calling at least three local moving companies for quotes so you have a ballpark range&mdash;then you can start saving weekly. You can also start decluttering your home to reduce your truck weight and try to find donated packing supplies from local businesses or neighbors that recently moved. </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: How can I cut costs on moving?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-ways-save-money-your-next-move.htm">save money when moving</a> by packing and moving items yourself. You can also find ways to cut costs by shopping for packing supplies at discounted stores and getting free moving boxes instead of purchasing them. It also pays off to declutter your belongings prior to starting the moving process. Remember, the fewer items you have, the fewer packing supplies you have to buy, and you can rent a smaller moving truck or container, too.</p></div>

They were quick to respond to my inquiry and were willing to take in the job although it was quite small. This was for my sister who is disabled, so she couldn't move and dispose of this piece of furniture. I appreciate that they isn't see this job as too minor to deal with.

Movers were nice. Some of my furniture was damaged, not in the move, but moving it down the steps, my drawers out of my chest were dropped, my clothes fell out of my drawers and most of my drawers are broken, and because I signed a Bill of Lading BEFORE they moved me, I could only be reimbursed...

"We had a major project. Our project was the 1st floor of our three-story townhouse David and Josh were very professional in guiding us through every aspect of completing our full kitchen, bathroom, small living room and craft room. They gave us a detailed written estimate for both the downstairs work plus the beautiful 12' × 16' composite deck. The work began on time and was completed as agreed upon. Dave and Josh cleaned up their workspace and tools every day. They kept us apprised of daily progress. One of our little dogs even developed a close attachment to Josh! My wife and I would definitely recommend GG Handyman & Home Remodeling to other potential clients. Thx!!@ David and Josh."
