Navigating the Unexpected: How Professional Moving and Storage Services Can Help During Home Repairs
Most people think of calling a moving company to help them manage the ins and outs of relocating their family and home—a planned and exciting event! However, moving and storage services are also useful when navigating life’s unexpected hurdles, such as a home repair from water or fire damage or natural disasters. In addition to buying the right insurance and hiring the right contractor, working with the right moving and storage company can make all the difference when you’re facing an unexpected challenge.
Creating a Gameplan
Whether dealing with a burst pipe, a fire, or an earthquake, the first priority is to act quickly and address the original issue. But once the water is turned off, the fire is put out, or the broken glass is swept up, it’s time to address the task of putting your home back together. As you arrange for the repairs to take place, you might find yourself wondering:
Where do I put my belongings for the next several weeks or months?
Can I pack, move, and store everything in time?
Should I pay for storage during the repair or move them to a different part of the house?
Should I pay for professional moving and storage services, or DIY it?
Will my items be protected in storage?
Assembling the Right Team
During any home repair, there will be a lot of moving pieces to manage, from the insurance representative and contractor to the inspector and moving company. Delegate the complete task of managing your belongings during the repair by hiring a full-service moving company that will pack, transport, store, and unpack. Additionally, by hiring a moving company experienced in providing services during home repairs, you can add a valuable member to your team who will work well with the other parties, including your insurance company.
Entrusting the handling and care of your belongings to a team of professional, experienced movers will bring you peace of mind and protect your belongings while your home is put back together. From selecting and providing the right packing supplies and knowing the best way to carefully and efficiently pack up your belongings to safely transporting and storing your items in a secure, climate-controlled storage facility, an experienced professional moving and storage company will bring expertise and experience every step of the way until your home is put back together.
