4 Reasons to Use Professional Moving Services in Seattle
Free Moving Estimate
One of the first decisions to make while moving to or from Seattle is whether to use professional moving services. For most transitions, hiring professional movers is not only worth it but necessary. When dealing with the stresses that typically go along with a move from a new home to an old one, using moving services ensures one less worry to deal with on the big day.
4 Reasons to Use Professional Moving Services
There are a lot of decisions to make when moving, and beginning the process can be overwhelming. Some put off the decision, and end up moving due to procrastination. Others attempt to save money by handling it on their own (only to find out this is far more difficult and costly than they thought). If you’re moving in Seattle and haven’t decided whether to hire professional movers, consider the benefits of moving services:
What an AMAZING experience. Being in the shipping industry, we reached out to a company we recommend. They couldn't meet our needs and recommend Hansen Bros. and from the first moment I called, your team has been FANTASTIC to work with. Paula came out and looked at what we have, gave an estimate, explained the process, talked about insurance and high value items. Grace and her follow-up and follow-through has been EXCEPTIONAL. She did what said she would and when she said it. She was keeping us informed about everything and answered questions. The team who picked things up and delivered were very professional, knew what they were doing and did EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to make sure our goods were protected and secure. The driver, Fred called us, we never had to chase after anything. Hansen Bros. was everything we hoped for and delivered so much more. Not only are we HAPPY CUSTOMERS, but I've shared the information with the company I work for and we've added them to our list of referrals. THANK YOU so very much for taking such great care of us and our possessions.

- Avoid Weather-Related Mishaps – Seattle weather is unpredictable, and no one wants to lug belongings around in the rain – or navigate bulky rental moving trucks through traffic in adverse weather conditions. By hiring movers, you make sure belongings are protected from potential water damage, and avoid driving moving trucks in bad weather. That way, your moving day goes smoothly — rain or shine.
- Reduce Costs – Do-It-Yourself movers often find that, by foregoing professional help, they often spend more money. The cost of renting moving equipment, protective padding and trucks quickly add up, and expensive accidents that damage furniture or the rental truck are more likely without professional help. If you choose the right moving services, it can actually be more affordable in the long run.
- Save Time – Between packing belongings, loading up the truck and unloading at your new home, moving can be a massive drain on time. Movers are trained to transport even the heaviest belongings (like furniture, safes, and appliances) quickly and efficiently. Additionally, movers can even pack for you, streamlining the process from the beginning.
- Ease Stress – It’s safe to say that no one likes moving. Besides the physical process of moving belongings from one place to another, there’s a lot to deal with: cleaning, finding a new home and adjusting to a new area. Hiring movers saves you some exhaustion and worry during what is already a difficult process.
When hiring a moving company, be sure they have a permit to operate in your state. An investigation by Jesse Jones of KIRO 7 News uncovers the risks of working with unauthorized movers.
