More Times When You Should Consider a Small Moving Company

  • November 30, 2017

Table of Contents

If your idea of a moving company is one of big trucks and big moves, you might be doing way more of your own moving than you have to. But have you ever considered a small moving company?

There are times when you need to move something, or lots of things, but you decide to do it yourself because it’s not really a ‘move’. The problem is, considering the lower cost of little moves, and the fact that almost every move, large or small, ends up being more work than anyone bargained for, hiring a professional mover, even for smaller moves, can save you time, money and maybe even a sore back.

Here are just a few of those occasions when a little moving company can deliver big benefits.

Table of Contents hide
1 1. Store Pick-Up
2 2. Staging Your Home
3 3. Seniors’ Residences

1. Store Pick-Up

You finally found it. The one and only living room suite in the world for your home. It’s perfect. Except it’s at a little boutique showroom out of town and they don’t deliver.
So now you can start calling around to all your friends who have trucks, or truck rental companies, and then start figuring out how you’re actually going to move the furniture. Or you can hire a moving company that’s specialized in little moves, often for less than the cost of renting a truck for the weekend.

2. Staging Your Home

If you’re selling your home, you know the benefits of staging it. But today’s staging isn’t the ‘sprucing up’ it used to be. Instead, it can be like a complete home décor make over. Your choice is to either go back and forth to a storage unit umpteen times with yet another load of furniture, or higher a little mover to do the job. (and if you get one with connection to a self-storage company, you’ll save even more time, effort and money).

3. Seniors’ Residences

If you or a loved one are moving into a seniors’ or care home, you know you’re not going to be able to take all your belongings. But even the minimum can mean more than most people can easily move on their own without a truck or help.

The next time you have to move anything that won’t easily fit in your vehicle, think about using a specialized small moving company, like Little Moves! Call us to learn more.

Using Bradford moving was the best decision we made! Luisa and Daniela were prompt and extremely helpful organizing the details before our move. We moved out of our house, stored everything for one night and moved into our new house the next day. Both move teams were on time, quick, polite, friendly and careful with our belongings. We could not be more pleased with our experience and would definitely recommend their services!
Response from the owner:Alisha, thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review. We’re thrilled to hear Luisa and Daniela made planning easy and that both crews were punctual, efficient, courteous, and careful through your overnight storage and next-day move.

Lucille Plante
Best choice hands down. When I first called, I had no idea how to plan the move when closings of sale and purchase was on the same day. They gave me options and wow, what service. Moving day, they arrived on time, loaded up - piano included - and were off within a couple hours. The movers were amazing and professional. Delivery to the new house? Well even my neighbours commented and asked if I would refer them!!! And I totally would! Nothing broken or damaged. Professional all the way. Respectful and the price was what was quoted. I would definitely call again!!
Response from the owner:Lucille, thank you for the wonderful 5-star review and for trusting Bradford Moving & Storage with your same-day closing move. We’re thrilled the options we provided made planning easier and that our team arrived on time, handled your piano with care, and delivered everything damage-free at the quoted price.

The movers were excellent. They moved us out of our old place and into our new home quickly and efficiently.

We would definitely use their services again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers.
