Choosing a Reliable Commercial Moving Company

The commercial moving process can be challenging, as it requires plenty of planning and support to ensure everything moves forward without harming your business. Proper planning is necessary for your move to be a success. You can review many points when finding a commercial moving company in the NYC area that you can trust.

  1. Review when the company is open to serve you. Some providers may not be available during the proper time when you need support. They may have busy schedules that make it hard for them to serve you.
  2. The mover should be open to visiting you in-person. While you can contact someone through a video call, a physical visit is better for providing a greater review of your moving effort.
  3. Check the building requirements at your site before a mover comes to your place to review your moving needs. The effort helps you get a more accurate and sensible price from the movers.
  4. Review the insurance policies a mover holds. The mover should have enough insurance to prevent you from being liable for any losses, damages, or injuries during the moving process.
  5. Every mover should have an action plan for how the move works. It includes a listing of everything the mover will do when handling your goods. The mover should provide information on how they will handle your items to ensure everything stays protected.
  6. Some movers may offer storage and packing services. See if you need any of these services before choosing someone who can help.
  7. Many movers offer local and long-distance moving services. Be sure your mover can support your move based on its length and anything else you wish to plan.
  8. Look at how experienced a company is before hiring one. A team should have experience in managing moves like the one you will plan.
  9. Ask for references from a mover. Look for references surrounding commercial moves and how the team can handle these moves.
  10. Look at the license the company holds when finding someone you can hire. The license should include details on the team’s operations and liability coverage.
  11. Review whether the moving company will be legally allowed to enter your building. Some landlords may have a “union employees only” policy.
  12. Reserve the elevator in your building before the move. The movers will need to access it when handling your items.
  13. Try to schedule your commercial move outside of business hours. Scheduling the move when the building isn’t that busy will minimize disruptions to your operation.
  14. Ask about the certificate of insurance requirement from your building management. The COI can include the amount of money that is applicable for liability.
  15. Reliability is critical when hiring a mover. Be sure whoever you hire is easy to contact at the right time.
  16. Make sure whoever you hire owns its trucks for use instead of needing to rent ones. A team that owns its trucks is easier to work with.
  17. Ask about storage and packing services if they are available.
  18. Ask the team about how they will safeguard your fragile equipment. Many teams use bubble wrap and packing peanuts, but others can use moving blankets and more items that offer more insulation. Some may also use separate containers for individual items, especially if they are high-value things that are highly fragile.
  19. Check on the payment process for your move. Avoid companies that ask for the full amount of money before moving, as such entities might be scams.
  20. Some commercial movers can assist you in setting up your office equipment at your new site. Others may help in installing telecommunications systems or other setups. Be sure whoever you hire has experience installing items and can assist you with the process without harming your equipment.
  21. Review whether the commercial mover includes disassembly and reassembly of your equipment in the moving price.
  22. Allow the movers to review the job based on whatever wiring or furniture items need to be disassembled and reassembled. A mover may hire an outside carpenter or handyman to care for the move.
  23. Have a representative from the mover visit your property to provide an estimate for services. The team should offer an estimate to give a more accurate look at what you might spend on services.
  24. Check your budget and see what a mover will charge for services. You can plan your budget based on the costs for packing your items, transporting the goods, and installing your items in your new location.
  25. Ask the mover to use plastic bins when handling your items. The mover should label each bin to ensure the workers can distinguish between whatever items you want to handle.
  26. Label the desk for each employee. Be sure each worker’s belongings are kept as close to each desk as possible.
  27. Ask about whether there’s a loading or unloading dock at your business site. You may be allowed to let your movers use this dock for easy loading.
  28. Let the movers know how long it takes to go from the loading dock and the office location at the destination and origin.

All these tips will help you find the best moving service in the NYC area. Your commercial goods are essential to your business operation, so make sure that whatever company you hire is a high-quality, professional moving service who will ensure your commercial move is seamless to the integrity of your business operation.
