If you are in the process of hiring movers, it is essential that you take the time to research and investigate potential moving companies before scheduling your move. Beyond checking reviews and confirming that your preferred mover has availability to help with your relocation, there are many questions that you can ask moving companies to ensure that you are selecting the right Fox Valley team for your needs. Below are five of the best questions to ask before hiring a moving company.

1.) Are You Licensed & Insured?

This is one of the first questions that you should be asking potential moving companies. It is crucial that you hire a licensed and insured moving company for your relocation. Doing so will help ensure that your move is safe and successful and will protect you from liability should something go wrong during your relocation (including lost or damaged possessions).

2.) Do You Offer Free Quotes?

You should find out if potential movers will provide you with a free moving estimate. This will help you to budget and plan for your relocation. At Blackhawk Moving & Storage, we strive to make the moving process as easy as possible for our customers, which is why we offer personalized moving quotes at home, over the phone, and virtually.

3.) What Qualifications Do You Have?

It is necessary to find out if moving companies are fully qualified to handle your relocation, and experienced movers will be happy to provide you with information that shows you just how much value they will add to your relocation. Our team, for example, boasts many impressive qualifications, including:

  • Several “Customer Choice,” Awards
  • Extensive Experience Serving Fox Valley Customers
  • Status as the Top 5% of All United Van Lines Agents for Quality, Claims, and Customer Service

4.) What Full-Service Options Do You Offer?

Full-service movers make the moving process much easier by providing you with comprehensive moving assistance tailored to your needs. At Blackhawk Moving & Storage, we offer a variety of full-service moving amenities, including:

  • Packing
  • Furniture Shrink Wrapping and Pad Wrapping
  • Storage
  • Appliance Set-Up
  • Debris Removal

5.) Do You Have Experience Moving Specialty Items?
