Create a Budget When Moving
When you are moving to a new home, you have to set aside some money that will cover all your expenses. This is why getting a quote from many San Francisco movers is critical so you can figure out in advance how to budget. At Good Green Moving, we answer all your questions including our rates and services. We give you tips on how you can be organized and efficient and prudent during your move. Here are a few expenses to prepare for when hiring San Francisco movers
Cleaning and Repair for Your Old House
If you lived in your old home for five years, it’s possible that there are a few damages here and there. It could be a dent in the kitchen counter-tops, a broken window, a detached flooring and so on. If you were renting the place and you want to get your full deposit back, you need to have all these damages repaired. If you own the house but you are planning to sell it, you have to restore any old furniture or even renovate to increase its value. Moving can also be messy especially if you have San Francisco movers coming in and out of your house as they load your things. You will be surprised at how much dirt and dust you have to clean afterward. You can either do this yourself or hire a cleaner.
Moving Insurance
Most San Francisco movers will offer a moving insurance but the rate can still vary especially if you lost an item during the move. Ask your movers at Good Green Moving on what to do so you can ensure your valuable items. If you need to seek out additional insurance to make sure that you are covered, feel free to do so.
Your Travel to Your New Home
If you hired San Francisco movers, it means that you are likely going to drive yourself to your new house or commute. If you are bringing valuable items with you and you have a child or a pet, you have to make sure that you have enough money for food, water, and gas. If you get tired driving, you might want to get some rest and stay at a hotel. You have to calculate what this will cost you so that you can include them in your budget.
