The success of moving in Calgary, AB or elsewhere in Canada is usually defined as getting all of your belongings from your previous residence into your new home in a one day time-frame, without damage to your belongings or either property. And the difference between asking your friends to help you move vs. hiring professional Calgary movers is like night and day.
If getting your furniture and other belongings damaged is a concern, you should never move yourself. Not knowing the proper techniques and the correct angles to use when lifting items and carrying furniture pieces through tight spaces – such as stairways and door frames – usually results in a lot of wasted time with some likely damage.
Damage is the most common result when completing a move on your own, and if you don’t want your items or your home being damaged, this is not the route to take. Our professional Calgary movers are trained experts in techniques specific to every piece of furniture they handle (and every environment), and that level of expertise comes only after several years in the moving industry.
As for the budget and expenses, moving yourself is far from cost saving. Your main expense will be renting a moving truck and all the equipment necessary to complete the move. When done properly, completing a move in Calgary or elsewhere in Canada requires not only a truck but also several moving dollies, 80-100 professional-grade moving blankets, tie down straps, shrink-wrap, mattress covers, wardrobe boxes, and tools, all of which will need to be purchased or rented.
In addition to the implied obligation to provide food and refreshments to your friends during the moving process, most people will also feel compelled to entertain the people who are helping out during the process and provide dinner (and possibly drinks) afterward. Add up all of these factors with the financial cost related to repairing damages, and your labour force is not as cheap as you thought.
So having your friends and family to help you move may sound like a great idea, but they it is far from a “free” or inexpensive way to move. As a conclusion – your time, money, and energy are all very valuable, and hiring professional Calgary movers often saves you all three.
