Pre-move survey

What is a pre-move survey?

Pre-move surveys help to lay out a plan for your move. They will help your mover determine what packing materials will be required and if you need any third-party services for specialty items like grandfather clocks. During the survey we will also identify any access issues such as elevators and parking permits.

Why is a pre-move survey important?

Pre-move surveys will determine the approximate cost of your move and the amount of space your belongings will occupy on the truck. Doing a visual assessment is the only way for moving companies to give an accurate estimate because the belongings in every home are different. As such, you should be wary of any low-cost estimate you get online that bases an estimate solely on the number of rooms in your home. During your pre-move survey you can ask any questions you have related to how your items will be packed and how the crews will protect your home during the move.
