Moving yourself can seem like a cost-effective option, but it comes with its own set of challenges and potential pitfalls. At Easy Move, we specialize in residential and commercial moving services, packing and storage, and more, serving Montreal and the surrounding areas. In this blog, we’ll discuss the steps involved in a DIY move and why choosing Easy Move might be the smarter, stress-free option.
1. Renting a Truck
When moving yourself, renting a truck is one of the first steps. Here are some things to consider:
Size: Choose the right size truck to fit all your belongings. Too small, and you'll have to make multiple trips; too large, and it could be difficult to maneuver.
Rental Costs: Factor in the rental cost, fuel, mileage fees, and insurance. Often, these add up quickly and can be more expensive than anticipated.
Driving: Be prepared to drive a large vehicle, which can be daunting if you're not used to it, especially in busy city traffic or long distances.
With Easy Move, you avoid the hassle of truck rental. Our professional drivers handle all transportation, ensuring your belongings are moved safely and efficiently.
2. Asking Friends and Family for Help
While it might seem easy to gather friends and family to help with your move, this approach has its downsides:
Availability: Coordinating schedules can be challenging, and you might not get the help you need when you need it.
Experience: Friends and family likely don't have the experience handling heavy or fragile items, increasing the risk of damage or injury.
Reliability: Last-minute cancellations or no-shows can leave you in a bind.
Choosing Easy Move guarantees a reliable and experienced moving crew. Our team is trained to handle all types of items, ensuring everything is moved safely and professionally.
3. Packing Carefully to Avoid Damage
Packing is one of the most critical aspects of any move. When doing it yourself, you need to:
Gather Supplies: Ensure you have enough boxes, tape, packing paper, and bubble wrap.
Proper Techniques: Use proper packing techniques to protect your items. Fragile items need extra care, and improper packing can lead to damage.
Time Management: Packing takes a lot of time and effort, often more than anticipated.
With Easy Move’s packing service, you get expert packers who use the best materials and techniques to ensure your items are securely packed and protected. This service saves you time and gives you peace of mind knowing everything is handled professionally.
4. Benefits of Choosing Easy Move
