It doesn't matter if your move is just down the street or across the country. There will still be a lot to keep track of and a ton of work to do. Fortunately, a moving service can help lighten your load by taking on many necessary tasks. A good moving company does more than just transporting your goods; they also offer other relocation related services. 

1. Furniture Assembly

One of the most frustrating parts of a move is putting everything back together in your new home. This is especially true if you don't have the assembly instructions on hand anymore. Many full-service moving companies offer assembly services. These aren't always limited to furniture, either. Some services have technicians on staff that can hook up appliances and home entertainment systems as well.

2. Packing and Unpacking

Packing and then unpacking can be tedious and time-consuming. Fortunately you can turn one or both of these tasks over to your movers. You will need to prepare first for packing services by decluttering, as your movers will pack up everything otherwise. You will also need to be on hand during unpacking to aid with the proper placement of everything, but you are freed from the physical labor.

3. Tight Space Services

It can be difficult to get large pieces of furniture into a new place, especially if there are tight stairwells or narrow doors to contend with. A moving service that specializes in creative moving techniques can help. They are equipped with pulley and lift systems that allow the movers to maneuver items through unorthodox entrances, such as through an upstairs window when the stairs are too narrow to move the couch in the traditional way.

4. Specialty Handling

Certain items require more care to move safely, such as pianos, sensitive electronics, or expensive artwork. If you have these items to move, then choose a moving service that has experienced movers on staff to help properly package, transport, and set up your more sensitive items. 

5. Relocation Concierge

Moving to a new town can be daunting. A moving service that provides relocation specialists can help make it easier. These specialists can handle the mundane tasks, such as hooking up utilities, finding your garbage pickup details, and providing you with information on your local school district enrollment process. Some may also offer specialty services, such as helping you find the perfect local gym, social clubs, or even a daycare provider.
