The amount of furniture you need moved: This is the main reason our estimates are arranged based on the size of your home. In essence, it gives us an idea of the furniture you’ll have and the weight of your household goods. Simply put, the more significant your home and household goods you have, the more expensive your move will be. That said, this is the perfect time to donate some things to charity or give some things to family and friends.
The kind of items you need moved: Think about it for a second. If you had to lift a few moving boxes for one customer and a hot tub and grand piano for another, would you charge both customers the same amount? Well, moving companies operate the same way. If you have difficulty relocating specialty items, it requires special handling from moving professionals who know what they are doing. This is why investing in a reputable moving company like AVL is essential.
Your specific moving requests: Even if you don’t have a hot tub or something considered a specialty item, your move can still be pricy if you have an array of moving requests. Maybe you need the moving company to show up earlier or later than their business hours because of a rule with your condo. Or perhaps your elevator is broken, so the movers must use the stairs. Things like this that complicate the moving process will lead to an increase in your bill.
Work more and make more: Did you know that at $64,000, the median household income in Washington is 21 percent higher than the national average? Even as the unemployment rate continues to soar country-wide, Washington DC provides its residents with many finances, sports, education, and more opportunities. This tops our list of the reasons you should move here.
Sports and Entertainment: Although it has been a while since a Washington sports team delivered a championship, they are highly competitive every year. Home to the Washington Wizards in basketball, the Nationals in baseball, and the Washington Football Team in football, this city is made for a sports fanatic. When you factor in all of the fantastic restaurants, concerts, and nightlife options, you’ll see why DC has the fun reputation that it does.
