With new commercial areas springing up across the sprawling city of Houston, it is not uncommon for businesses of all sizes to move to a better location, a bigger building or even to take advantage of lower lease rates.
Moving a business is never easy and there are a lot of possible issues, pitfalls and mistakes that can occur during the process. One simple choice to prevent these issues is to choose a professional, experienced and established commercial moving company.
While that may make sense, finding a commercial moving company to meet this criteria is not always a simple task. Most moving companies will indicate they can provide commercial moving services and most will indicate they have the crew, drivers, trucks and the specialized training to take on the job.
It is very important to be able to evaluate the different moving companies under consideration to select the right match for your needs. The issues of price, experience and services will quickly differentiate top companies from those to avoid.
Price
The quote provided by a top commercial moving company will be done after meeting with your team or designated contact. This will typically include a walkthrough of your business to know exactly what the move entails.
The price quoted should be for all services discussed. You will find top companies are fairly competitively priced. Avoid companies quoting a significantly lower price as this often means inexperience with commercial moves.
Experience
While it will be essential to ask how long the mover has been in business and how many Houston companies they have moved, don’t forget to ask about the actual moving crew. You want a company with trained movers that have been on multiple commercial moving jobs.
Services
Companies will offer a variety of services. Most companies will suggest services they can provide to assist before the move or during the move. Top companies are able to anticipate what services may be important to your move while less experienced companies will be less informed and much less helpful.
