Relocating within the Greenville area? A local move, which is defined as a move within 50-100 miles, is handled by short distance movers. These moves are completed same-day by the same crew of movers who can pack, load, transport, and unload your belongings.
It’s a common misconception that short-distance moves are easier and faster than long-distance moves. While there may be fewer logistical hurdles to overcome, even local moves can be difficult without help. In fact, local moves tend to be more chaotic and stressful than long-distance moves! With Greenville area local movers by your side, you can enjoy a seamless moving day that has you in your new home in no time! HD Auston Moving Systems is a Greenville local moving company that takes pride in helping residents relocate within this beautiful city.
Top Reasons to Hire Professional Greenville Local Movers
Many people rank moving as one of the most stressful things they have ever gone through. It doesn’t need to be that way! Relocating is challenging enough without considering the hard work involved. You may have pets or young children that you need to keep occupied and safe on moving day, logistical issues like heavy furniture, fragile heirlooms, or even a pool table that needs to be moved. When you add in the manual labor on moving day to load and unload the truck, trying to move furniture without scratching up your floors, and concerns that you didn’t pack everything well enough to survive the trip, it’s easy to see why so many people choose affordable Greenville local movers by the hour.
Greenville local moving companies make relocating faster, easier, and more efficient from beginning to end. You can focus on more important issues like kids, pets, setting up utilities, and settling into your new home without all of the manual labor. A crew of trained movers will arrive to handle any elements of your relocation you need help with, including packing, loading and unloading, furniture assembly/disassembly, prep work, and even storage.
Specialized Equipment & Training for Greenville Local Moving
The best Greenville local movers aren’t just hired hands that can do the heavy lifting. They arrive with specialized equipment, training, and experience to protect your home and belongings, handle logistical problems, carefully pack and transport fragile items like pianos and antiques, and more. This training is invaluable to ensure there are no unpleasant surprises during your move like costly piano repairs, a scratched pool table, or broken china.
A reliable Greenville local moving company uses 20- or 26-foot moving trucks. These are different from box trucks you rent. They have top-of-the-line shock absorbers plus special doors and ramps that make moving safer and more efficient. Your belongings will have a smooth ride from beginning to end to avoid damage from potholes and sharp turns.
Greenville local moving companies also arrive with everything needed to pack, load, and transport your belongings. They will show up with furniture blankets, box and furniture dollies, hand tools, straps, and special packing boxes. You can rest easy knowing they’re able to handle anything from disassembling furniture and prepping your home to protecting fragile items from scratches.
Of course, the right tools and equipment aren’t everything. Trustworthy local moving companies in Greenville only employ movers that are background checked and trained to provide excellent customer service and use safe moving practices. They are also equipped with technology like GPS software. At HD Auston Moving Systems, our movers undergo a training process to learn how to safely assemble/disassemble furniture, prep a home, pack all types of belongings, drive a large truck, and more.
How Much Does a Greenville Local Move Cost?
What Greenville local movers rates can you expect? There is no way to give a precise answer to this question, but it may help to understand the factors that affect the rate you pay.
As a general rule, your estimate will include an hourly rate. Materials are added on top of this rate to include packing supplies, for example. Typically, the hourly rate includes two movers with the option to add additional movers. To give you the most accurate quote possible, a Greenville local moving company will ask about:
- The distance of your move
- How much you are moving and the size of your home
- Whether your home is easy to access and is single-story
- Whether you have specialty, very heavy, or fragile items that require special
- attention
- The number of movers you need
- The type of move and service level, such as an apartment move, labor-only move, or full-service move
Concerned about your cost? Request a Greenville local movers quote from HD Auston Moving Systems and we’ll work with you to tailor the services you receive to fit your budget.
How to Choose the Best Greenville Local Moving Company
Sadly, moving scams are not uncommon. However, inexperienced, fly-by-night movers are even more common. When you choose the first cheap Greenville local movers you find, they may lack the experience and equipment needed to safely handle your move. Your belongings may be damaged or lost with no recourse – or you may be hit with hidden fees that make your cost skyrocket.
You deserve a reliable Greenville local moving company that delivers the services you need safely and at a price you can afford. To find the best Greenville local movers, we recommend doing your research. Start by checking Greenville movers reviews on Google, Yelp, and elsewhere. Narrow down your options by looking for:
- Licensed, insured moving company
- Good safety rating using their USDOT number
- Proven track record in the industry
- Experience performing moves like yours
- Low claims rate
- High referral rate
When you contact moving companies for an estimate, watch for red flags like suspiciously low prices or a high upfront deposit.
