Hiring Houston Movers Vs Moving Yourself

In this golden age of Pinterest, as well as home and organization hacks aplenty, you might be tempted to undertake a DIY move. Before you pull the trigger, it’s important to know the pros and cons of hiring Houston movers compared to moving by yourself.

Pros and Cons of Hiring Houston Movers

When you’re considering factors like cost, time, and convenience, the decision between hiring Houston movers and moving yourself is no small choice. Here are a few key factors to keep in mind as you prepare to make your plans.

Hiring Houston Movers

The Pros

Saves major time✔️
Moving yourself takes much longer than you might anticipate. Professional movers can easily cut that time by ⅔ or more.

Helps you avoid injury✔️
Your moving crew understands correct moving procedure and has access to the best tools of the trade — saving you potential injury.

Protects your belongings✔️
When it comes to valuable items, bulky furniture, or specialized pieces, you’re better off leaving it to the pros, who are trained to properly move such things.

Gives you peace of mind✔️
Under Texas law, you have certain rights and responsibilities should something go wrong.

The Cons

Forces you to surrender some control
While it’s good to be close at hand during the move, you’ll also need to relinquish some control and let your movers do their job.

Will likely cost more
Like most quality professionals, trustworthy movers cost more than a similar DIY venture.

Pros and Cons of Moving Yourself

The Pros

Easier on your wallet
If you’re willing to do all of the legwork, you can move yourself for the price of boxes, supplies, and a truck rental.

Control your timeline
When you move yourself, you control the pace and timeline. 

Puts you in charge
Being in control of your move means not having to rely on anyone else to arrange services for you.

The Cons

Very stressful
There’s a reason moving is considered one of the most stressful life events. Be sure to consider all distasteful aspects of DIY moving, such as relying on friends and family and driving a large moving truck yourself.

Tends to create a hassle
Scheduling rentals, arranging moving times, learning new processes, and securing packing and moving supplies is often a huge headache — even for the most organized individuals.

No assistance in case of surprises
When you encounter last-minute problems like parking issues, tricky staircases, or unwieldy items, you’ll have to figure things out on your own.
